The 2025 release runs Steam Deck Playable. About 74% of its 1,039 Steam reviews are positive. Reviewers praise the beautiful anime character art and animated sprites, the polished turn-based combat with positioning and break mechanics, and the generous early-game free pulls, noting auto-battle that allows casual play during idle time and a story continuation for returning fans.
