as of v1.8c i'd say about 3.5 stars
there's music and animations which are pretty good. even a tutorial which explains things and you can go back to if you get confused. and there's a decent amount of content.
the biggest problems are the auto battle, stats/equipment/materials, and leveling. otherwise the game would be about 4 stars.
the auto battle is very slow even at max speed (3). it would be better if it could be sped up to 10. or even better than that would be if you could pick and choose targets because your characters just attack at random and often times end up using their ultimate ability on enemies with 1hp.
the stats in this game are overly complicated. you're basically playing dark souls but with about 15 different characters and 20-40 different items, not to mention there's team trait synergies of which there are about 10-15. so you spend at least an hour reading and figuring out what each person and item does only to do an auto battle which you can't affect anyways. and on top of that stats are basically irrelevant and probably scaled down to the quest. i gave my characters +1000 dmg and +500 magic or physical resistant, only to find out that they can only still deal 100-200 dmg and can still get team wiped. it wasn't until they had about 10k-50k dmg that they barely 1 shot enemies (thats about 100 gear upgrades). which ends up being a problem because some fights you are supposed to lose and now your characters can't lose. so you're locked in a slow autobattle for 10 min.
now as the game has gacha in the title it's expected that you will have to be lucky to get good items with specific stats and what not. except theres too much random. the problem is im spending over an hour and $100,000 (cheated) just to find the right gear, let alone the right stats. because the stats on items are entirely random. you would expect that equipment for magic builds would have magic attack and mana regen or something relatively related and useful, but instead you end up getting physical attack and threat (aka taunt). basically things that are completely irrelevant to the gear. although there is a reforge option later on in the game which lets you reroll stats, but that's more near the later/end of content for this version. so the fix would be to have particular stats related to the equipment set or implement reroll earlier.
the materials are also a problem. it takes a ton of materials to upgrade and reroll. not to mention there's a chance the material can fail to upgrade which means you have to spend more time getting materials only for it to fail again. the fix is less material req. or more material gains. but the worse part is that some materials are not added until later into the game so if you farm a bunch of material so you dont have to do it later. then you just wasted your time because now the game wants a material that's been newly introduced.
