Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend it as a gacha-style action RPG without gacha or stamina limits; combat and character unlocks are praised, while thin endgame content, grindy progression and a strict mod policy draw criticism.

Many players say the game delivers the genre's combat and character collection without gacha pulls, stamina gates or pay-to-win systems, and they appreciate that characters are unlocked through story progress. The combat is the most praised element: fluid team swapping, flashy combos and boss fights that reward skill. Exploration with varied mounts, the stylised anime visuals and the cast of characters also earn praise. Criticism focuses on grindy material upgrade chains, a thin endgame, repetitive quests with long walking and dialogue, and some technical issues like performance dips in cities and large battles. Some reviewers also dislike the strict no-mods agreement and limited co-op. Recent reviews are more mixed on story and endgame than the helpful older ones, which lean more enthusiastic about the business model change.
