Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly love the story, characters, art and voice acting, and find it generous for a gacha, though the gameplay and endgame draw criticism.

Many players praise the story and writing, which they describe as deep, layered with historical references and well voiced, with strong character design and art. Some say the soundtrack and music are excellent and that the game is generous with free currency and daily rewards, making it easy to play without spending. Recent reviews are as positive as the older helpful ones, but several players warn that the endgame and combat become repetitive over time. Some players say the turn-based card combat is interesting while others call it easy and mechanically thin. Some complain about power creep, banner design, character reset after level-up, and limited-character mechanics, and a few dislike the early voice acting, though it improves.

Who it suits

Suits players who value story, writing, art and music above gameplay and enjoy a gacha that can be played mostly for free.

Who should skip it

Players who want challenging combat or a deep endgame, or who dislike power creep and limited-character banners, should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Long-time players, especially those with hundreds of hours, more often raise endgame repetition and power creep, while newcomers mostly praise the story and presentation.
