The story in the game features appealing anime artwork and an interesting premise, but many players find the writing style lacking and the narrative flow disjointed compared to its predecessor. While the game adopts a more visual novel approach with fewer battles, it is noted that the story is better understood if players have experienced the prequel. Overall, the linear storytelling that connects stages is missed by some, leading to mixed feelings about the narrative structure.
- “The store page claims that it is not necessary to play the prequel to enjoy this game; however, it is highly recommended to play to better understand the story.”
- “Differently from the prequel, Winged Sakura: Mindy's Arc 2 has a more visual novel approach, with fewer battles compared to the prequel.”
- “When the story mode is complete, additional content opens after the ending.”
- “The story flow is too disjointed; I really liked the linear storyline in WSMA 1 and WSDCW, where the story is connected to the stages. Here, it feels separated. It's better than WSED, but why not make it like WSMA 1?”
- “The store page claims that it is not necessary to play the prequel to enjoy this game; however, it is highly recommended to play it to better understand the story.”
- “The story is fine, but it gets a bit weird near the end. The OSTs are still good, but not as great as in WSMA, and the gameplay is extremely similar.”

The graphics feature cute anime artwork and multiple playable characters, but opinions are mixed regarding the art style, with some players feeling it has downgraded compared to previous entries in the series.

The gameplay is a blend of tower defense and visual novel elements, featuring a unique system where players summon various soldier classes to strategize attacks and defenses. However, it suffers from a lack of variety, often relying on a repetitive formation, and the power assignment mechanics can be confusing due to changes in hotkeys and unit order. While tutorials help introduce the basics, the overall experience may feel less innovative compared to its predecessor.
- “Gameplay: differently from the prequel, instead of summoning spirits, now you will summon cute soldiers with specific classes (gunner, sniper, tank, mage, paladin, etc) to defend/attack your enemies.”
- “Unique combination of visual novel & tower defense with addictive gameplay.”
- “Tutorials are available at the start of the game and you can learn basic gameplay through it.”
- “The gameplay is fine, but has very little variety; in the end, you basically use the same formation of sniper -> mage -> gunner -> guardian.”
- “Another issue is the multiple power assignment; two units can be assigned the same power but only in a specific order. This requires moving my unit to execute the action, which changes the hotkey I'm already used to. One solution is to change the hotkey in the options, but this also alters the unit order layout in gameplay, making it more confusing.”
- “Unlike the prequel, instead of summoning spirits, you now summon cute soldiers with specific classes (gunner, sniper, tank, mage, paladin, etc.) to defend or attack your enemies.”
grinding

Overall, players find the grinding in the game to be an improvement over its predecessor, though it remains somewhat excessive. While some enjoy the depth of customization and crafting that grinding offers, others feel that the difficulty and drop rate systems complicate progress, making the experience frustrating, especially for those seeking a more balanced challenge.
- “I likely made the game grindier than it needed to be by farming to keep my mages' gear up to date, thinking I'd need them at some point (mistake). I know the game would be very short without the grind, but it still doesn't help that the difficulty and the drop rate system don't really make sense.”
- “The game’s too hard, and it’s really hard to progress even with just normal difficulty. I’m an experienced player with 60 hours in WSMA 1 who cleared all hard without grinding.”
- “Some grinding is required in this process.”
