Overall, the story is considered engaging and enjoyable, despite some criticism regarding the integration of adult content.
“An amazing game with a story that actually took me by surprise at its depth and intrigue.”
“The chemistry between our hero and his companion is very enjoyable, plot twists manage to surprise and we get a cat maid!”
“A good story with a really nice progression from start to finish.”
“But, in fact, it could use better translations because there are lots of typos and grammar errors which partially troubled me to catch up with the storylines.”
“I must admit, I rarely buy these games for the story.”
“The antagonist is well-done as well, and the end game plot has a mild enough twist to not be completely surprising but still foreshadowed well enough that a savvy trope-enthusiast can see it coming.”

Players note that grinding is a significant aspect of the game, especially at the beginning where it is essential for survival and skill development.

“You can't tell, but in a flash a few hours have passed and you're grinding out the next few levels you need.”
“Also, a lot of the game was grinding.”
“The beginning started out as a 'you need to grind to survive' since you need skills and abilities to fight the monsters, which you can only get by grinding out said monsters.”

The gameplay features engaging combat mechanics, including stagger and isolation systems that turn encounters into manageable puzzles, even on higher difficulty settings. While the game introduces some interesting new mechanics, players have noted that it could benefit from improved translation to enhance the overall experience.
“Interesting game with some new mechanics.”
“The gameplay is easy even on hard mode.”
“Combats with multiple enemies have their own stagger and isolation mechanics that make each encounter a fairly easy to solve puzzle.”
“I would like if the game got an updated translation just like Mechanica got one before, since the game could use a retranslation to be on the same level of translation as the other Doubles*core games.”
