Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
TL;DR: Fun story and solid presentation, but a brutal, repetitive grind fest if you don't swipe your card.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The characters, both OG and new, are cool af and stay true to the IP (even the new swimsuits are basically still combat suits), but people who are not into the original work will be put off by the lack of new characters (and fanservice), as it focuses more on the pre-existing cast.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, the graphics are solid in my opinion, and the game feels surprisingly F2P-friendly: if you manage your resources wisely, you can progress without hitting a paywall.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice acting is actually very good, and I didn't expect less from the professional cast.
