  • Gameplay can get sort of repetitive after a while
  • Difficulty scaling choice

  • People tend to dislike musou gameplay like this

The intention behind these pros & cons isn't to establish a balanced evaluation of the game, but rather to assist developers in identifying enhancement opportunities. The game's rating of 66.8%  Bottom 30% should be taken into account when assessing them.
