Players most often praise the character models and story, while some also value the grid combat and team-building options. Common complaints include easy battles that give way to auto-play, repetitive daily chores, slow story updates, and character power creep. Opinions on the gacha economy are divided between players who find it friendly to free play and those who consider it unforgiving.
