What players say

Mixed opinion: players like the fast anime combat and characters, but many are put off by grind, pay-to-win pressure, technical problems and the sexualised art.

Many players enjoy the fast hack-and-slash combat, the varied character classes with distinct playstyles, and the cel-shaded anime look. Several praise the story and character backgrounds and say the game is free and not heavily pressured to spend. Some newer players say they still find it fun and that the game runs well on modest hardware. Many complaints focus on the grind: repeated dungeon runs, energy limits and drop systems that leave progression slow or unrewarding. Some players describe the monetisation as pay-to-win and object to the cash shop and overpriced market. Many reviews are about the change of publisher, which they feel brought greed and lower quality, and some are about a crossover and sexualised character design. Technical problems such as launch failures, server lag, input bugs and poor optimisation come up often. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, and the player count is low.

Who it suits

Suits players who enjoy fast anime action combat and character collection and who can tolerate heavy grinding and a dated, buggy MMO structure.

Who should skip it

Players who dislike grinding, pay-to-win systems or technical instability should skip it, as should those who object to its sexualised character design.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 200 hours mostly do not recommend the game and focus on grind, pay-to-win and the publisher change, while those with fewer hours are more likely to praise the combat and characters.
