Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 2 out of 5 score, and criticized the lack of explanations for many of the elements of the game, such as the icon-based system for responding to characters, while also praising the character animation.[7]
Erren Van Duine of PlayStation LifeStyle also disliked the lack of in-game explanations, but liked the game better than Hardcore Gamer did, and gave praise in particular to the art style, character animation, backgrounds, story, and the English localization, while criticizing the RPG segments for being too frustrating and luck-based; she gave the game a score of 8.5 out of 10.[8]
