The gameplay is characterized by typical turn-based mechanics and gacha elements, offering a satisfying experience for fans of the genre without the usual monetization pressures. While it lacks depth and unique mechanics, players appreciate the absence of time-limited events and artificial constraints, though some feel that the simplicity and balancing could be improved to enhance player engagement. Overall, it provides a straightforward yet enjoyable gameplay loop for those who enjoy grinding and team-building.
- “To be honest, $10 is a steal if you are like me and actually enjoy the gameplay of gachas with all the nice grinding, seeing a whole team of 5 stars with different heroes, and enjoying the overall gameplay loop that gacha games provide without the monetization.”
- “It's nice to be able to play a gacha (or technically an ex-gacha) without dealing with limited-time events, server connection issues, and mechanics like a stamina system that artificially inflate playtime and/or encourage players to buy microtransactions.”
- “I understand paid gacha is bad, but the opposite isn't ideal either - there needs to be some pull, some struggle in the gameplay to retain player interest.”
- “The gameplay is extremely simple and the balancing doesn't feel all that fleshed out, as I guess there wasn't much effort put into thinking how it'd be possible to make the progression feel smooth; but despite that, there is just this weird feeling of satisfaction of being able to enjoy a game like this without FOMO.”
- “Gameplay is just your typical turn-based gameplay with some flavors here and there.”
- “Doesn't help that there aren't really many unique mechanics that make it worth manually playing.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat frustrating, particularly when it comes to farming for pet element stones, which can only be obtained through the labyrinth store or events. However, some users appreciate the grinding mechanics typical of gacha games, enjoying the gameplay loop and the satisfaction of building a strong team without heavy monetization.
- “Farming for pet element stones was a bit annoying; the only way you can get them outside of events was the labyrinth store, which requires crystals to reset.”
