The gameplay is a charming yet simplistic take on the roguelike deckbuilder genre, heavily inspired by "Slay the Spire," featuring unique mechanics like a summon system that adds some depth. While it offers a fun and lighthearted experience, many players find it lacks complexity and can become repetitive due to limited enemy variety and a short playtime. Overall, it's recommended for casual players or fans of the source material, but those seeking a more intricate gameplay experience may be disappointed.
- “The game is super cute, the gameplay is pretty fun and at times takes actual thought to win.”
- “The summon system is a great, and maybe the greatest, mechanic in the game; it provides a lot of help as well as a nice way to play around and combo with your build.”
- “Gameplay-wise, it is a perfectly fine roguelike deckbuilder.”
- “A bit lacking in terms of gameplay depth, so you're really paying for something like a $9 game with an Aqours skin thrown on top.”
- “For a lot of people, the repetitive gameplay can be a problem; this game is quite repetitive, with only about 10 types of enemies that you face repeatedly, and bosses sometimes return, making it feel like they manually wanted to increase playtime.”
- “The gameplay feels barebones, and relics give you the illusion that they actually do something when they just do '+5 shield on turn 2' or 'attack does +1 damage', which is pitiful compared to how fast enemies can scale.”

The game's story is described as cute and lighthearted, typical of the Love Live franchise, but ultimately basic and predictable, lacking depth and engagement. While some players appreciate the charming characters and visuals, many find the narrative sparse and overshadowed by the gameplay, making it difficult to recommend for those seeking a rich story experience. Overall, it serves as a feel-good backdrop rather than a compelling plot, with a playtime of around 5 to 10 hours.
- “The story is cute even if not all that thought out, and the mechanics are pretty much 1 to 1 with Slay the Spire.”
- “But the story was sweet and touching, and the art is pretty.”
- “To add on more to the story, as it goes along, you'll learn more about Yohane's insecurities, and how this reflects towards her resolve to do things.”
- “The story is thinner than a sheet of paper, but you play the game because of Yohane to begin with.”
- “After finishing the game, I'd say the story is pretty basic.”
- “The DLC is unfortunately way too expensive for what it is, and the story content is literally just two short cutscenes at the start and end of a successful run.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their charming art style and cute card artwork, which features newly drawn illustrations referencing popular franchises. However, some users have reported graphical glitches, particularly after the latest update when using Steam Link on mobile devices. Overall, while the visuals complement the gameplay, they are not the primary focus of the experience.
- “All the card artworks are newly drawn for this game and most of them reference both Love Live Sunshine and the Yohane spinoff.”
- “Incredibly fun and intuitive card combat with loads of room for strategy, absolutely adorable visuals, great humor, and rewarding unlocks.”
- “After the last update, when playing on Steam Link on my phone, graphical glitches appear.”
- “I won't go into details about story and visuals, as the primary focus of roguelike deckbuilders is the gameplay.”
- “Graphically it's charming and the card art is nice.”

The music in the game is widely praised for its quality and charm, fitting well with the overall aesthetic and theme, especially given its connection to the Love Live franchise. While there are minor bugs affecting music playback in certain scenarios, the soundtrack is considered excellent, with additional DLC offering new songs and customization options. However, some players express frustration over the high prices of DLC content.
- “Love the animation and music.”
- “Game is very cute, lovely, OST is amazing, animations and everything.”
- “And with this being a Love Live game, the music is naturally excellent.”
- “I've encountered a minor bug where there is no music when starting a second run, but restarting the game fixes it.”
- “Edit: the current DLC prices, however, are ridiculous and a few costumes and songs will cost you nearly twice the price of the base game.”

Overall, the game offers decent replayability, particularly due to its different starter hands and potential DLC content, which enhance the experience. However, some players note that the game is relatively short, which may limit long-term replay value, suggesting it might be best to wait for a sale. Despite these concerns, many find the game enjoyable enough to warrant multiple playthroughs.
- “I know there are DLCs that seem worth buying for me, and replay value is definitely present for this title - especially with the different starter hands (balanced and power).”
- “This game has replayability value, better art, and better value for money.”
- “While usually minor, these add a different replayability factor than the usual class systems do in similar games.”
- “This would be a perfect time for a neutral review option on Steam because overall the game is pretty fun, but also relatively short without a whole lot of replayability, so maybe hold out for a sale.”
- “While usually minor, these add a different replayability factor than the usual class system does in similar games.”
- “That being said, that only slightly detracts from replay value and it's worth every penny when it's like 30% off.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, often leading to prolonged periods of inactivity that slow down gameplay significantly. While there are occasional engaging story elements, they are overshadowed by the repetitive nature of grinding, making it difficult to recommend for those seeking a more enjoyable narrative experience.
- “And this happens quite frequently, taking many turns where the player can take little to no action, making the game slow down to a crawl and feel tedious.”
- “It has a cute little anime story in between, but that feels far and few between in the mostly tedious gameplay, making it hard to recommend for people that want to enjoy the story.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”

The monetization strategy for the game, particularly regarding its DLC, has been criticized as excessive and off-putting, leading some players to reconsider their overall positive reviews.
