Steam reviews

What players say

Recent reviewers mostly reject it, citing sweeping combat and damage changes and slow story updates, though they still praise the story, music and voice acting.

Many recent reviewers praise the writing, the characters, the voice acting and the music, and several say the story is the real reason to play. Some call the art attractive and the visual novel presentation strong. Against that, many reviewers say the July 2025 update ruined the game: Overdrive was limited, damage formulas were changed so that attacks hit much weaker, and a new rarity tier cannot be upgraded with the shards players had bought. Some also say the main story arrives only about once a year and that gacha drop rates and a repeated, boring combat loop make progress frustrating. Several reviewers say they would only watch the story online now. These views come from recent reviews and reviews from the last year, which are more negative than Steam's overall totals.

Praised

  • Story and characters

    Players single out the writing, emotional arcs and well-developed characters, with many saying the story is what keeps them playing.

    Many players
  • Music and voice acting

    Soundtrack, songs and full voice acting are praised repeatedly as among the game's strongest points.

    Many players
  • Art and presentation

    Reviewers describe the art style, character designs and environments as beautiful and well made.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Recent combat and damage changes

    Players say the July 2025 update lowered damage sharply, limited Overdrive and made previously strong characters weak.

    Many players
  • Shards and paid units devalued

    Reviewers say new rarity tiers cannot use the shards players bought, so paid resources and characters lost value.

    Many players
  • Slow story and few updates

    Players say main chapters arrive only about once a year and side story events have slowed, so the game feels stalled.

    Some players
  • Account recovery and monetisation

    Players report lost progress they could not recover through the support form, and others feel gacha and spending pressure have grown.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who mainly want a strong story, music and voice acting and do not mind limited combat or spending.
Who should skip it
Players who want engaging combat or who are put off by nerfs, slow story releases and pressure to spend money.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours are the most critical of the recent balance changes, while shorter-time players more often praise the story and presentation.
