The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its intriguing plot and engaging characters, while others criticize it for being overly linear and repetitive.

“The story is paper-thin and the quests are repetitive.”
“You can slap all the story, cut scenes, and graphics on it, but this game is a joke just like every other mobile MMO I've tried with auto combat, and I hope this review helps to show devs that literally nobody wants to watch a game play itself.”
“It's basically an interactive movie due to auto quest and auto combat, which they practically force on you the second you enter the game... the only thing you really do is watch and press complete and start and the game auto does the rest.”

The monetization model of the game has been widely criticized as a predatory cash grab, heavily relying on pay-to-win mechanics and expensive in-game purchases. Players report a frustrating experience with excessive pop-up ads and significant paywalls that hinder progression, particularly for free-to-play users. Overall, the game is seen as a generic, autoplay title that prioritizes profit over player experience.
“Pay to win, but it's not a bad game; just one that requires you to spend loads of money. I played this game up to almost max level and was stuck at a major paywall, but obviously, there are microtransactions in the game. Personally, I say check it out, but again, beware of paywalls!”
“You can see the microtransactions coming a mile off.”
“Could have been okay gameplay, but it's yet another pay-to-win cash grab autoplay mashup that we've seen many times before.”
“Most of the game plays itself, the monetization model is relatively offensive, and progression is overly complex for no reason.”
“Getting really tired of these predatory monetization practices....”

“It's really addicting and graphics and optimization is pretty good. This game is very cool.”
“Outstanding game performance, very incredible true story.”
