- The gameplay can become repetitive quickly, with dungeons feeling similar and lacking meaningful content, leading to a sense of tedium.
- The Steam version is criticized for missing features present in the mobile and Switch versions, making it feel like a bare-bones port rather than a fully realized game.

The gameplay is engaging and retains core features across platforms, though the Switch version suffers from graphical downgrades. The smartphone version employs free-to-play mechanics with gacha elements, while the Steam port lacks some basic features found in the Switch version, potentially disappointing seasoned players. Overall, the gameplay is enjoyable, though it may be overwhelming for newcomers.
“The smartphone version is essentially free-to-play, featuring ranking events and gacha mechanics where you can obtain a wide variety of outfits, powerful weapons, and skills.”
“A highly unique gameplay feature that will make existing users play on the Steam version over other versions.”
“The gameplay is a lot of fun; for new players, it may be a bit much.”
“If you're going to intentionally remove basic gameplay upon a new port at game release, at least make the Steam port unique to that platform itself.”
“For now, the Steam version of this game is lacking many basic gameplay features that the Nintendo Switch version has.”
“When seasoned players expect a new port of their favorite game onto another platform, they expect the basic gameplay to be migrated to the other one.”

The game's story is minimal and lacks an overarching narrative, leading to a sense of repetitiveness and questioning of purpose. Players engage in various quests primarily for monetary gain and personal development, but there is no main quest or compelling storyline to drive their progress. The experience is more about completing tasks and building relationships rather than following a cohesive story.
“NPCs will come up to you to hang out, confess, propose, or even ask you to do a quest for them.”
“You start as a traveler in Elnea Kingdom, you do some quests and collect money to earn your citizenship, then you choose a job, make friends, find a spouse, and have a child (or children? I do not remember).”
“There's a bunch of quests you can do to earn money, and I love how the tutorial is very helpful with starting.”
“As far as a general purpose review goes, this game is cute but it gets repetitive fast and falls into the mindset of 'why am I even doing anything in this game?' There is no overarching story driving your progress, and progress is not especially interesting.”
“There is no main quest or a story to follow.”
“There's no story to guide you through, just a set of tutorial quests to help you get started.”
