* EnjoyTheStorySkipTheGame: The game was praised for its well-done plot, as expected from Creator/YasumiMatsuno. The gameplay is considered to be nothing special and largely ignored due to some rather GuideDangIt moments.
* ScrappyMechanic: Making necessary PlotCoupons into insanely rare item drops that can only be triggered by beating enemies in a specific order is generally seen as a poor design decision, resulting in players wandering aimlessly due to no indication of where to go or what to do to progress in the game. And once they surrender and [[GuideDangIt look up the answer]], it devolves into repeating the same battles until the items drop.
* ThatOneBoss: The [[spoiler:Witch Kings trio impersonating your party]], on both a regular cycle and especially NewGamePlus.
