The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent glitches, lags, and crashes reported during gameplay. While some players acknowledge that the game has potential and can be enjoyable, the persistent technical issues detract from the overall experience. Many users express frustration over the lack of a bug reporting system and the developers' unresponsiveness to these problems.
- “In fact, it looks and runs great on my tablet.”

- “The only things preventing me from rating this 5 stars are the random crashes: you can just be playing the game, but sometimes your game randomly crashes or freezes when you go to another area.”
- “First of all, the game code does not work; secondly, this game has so many glitches, keyboard problems, the joystick goes missing sometimes to move the player, and the game freezes or kicks you out. I've spent so much money on this, it's not even funny, and it's still messing up.”

- “The push to buy packs and currency, and spend that currency, is ridiculous.”
- “Looks okay, but I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of ads in the game. It feels like a major cash grab. I don't mind a little pay-to-play type costs, but everything on screen felt like it was trying to reach into my wallet.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be intense and time-consuming, with some expressing frustration over the reliance on pathfinding and autoplay features that diminish player engagement. While some appreciate the unique story and graphics, many feel that the game leans heavily on pay-to-win mechanics, allowing players to gain significant advantages through monetary investment. Overall, opinions are mixed, with some enjoying the grind while others are concerned about its potential to become tedious.
- “The game is very grindy and the pathfinding only makes it easier to do nothing. I was never into the whole 'pathfinding, the game plays the game for you' thing, but the fact that using it just to find out where to go, just for the AI to fight for you, threw me completely off. The story is very unique, but other than that, it's pretty much like any other MMO I've played in the sense that I don't have to play the game to play the game.”
- “And then after playing smartly and grinding for long hours, you'll reach the top 15, and then you'll realize that the only way you can hold on is through money.”
- “Generally, MMOs should be pay to skip (long wait times, some grinding, farming materials, etc.), but you can literally pay to be 3-5 times stronger than someone who has days' worth of playtime the moment you boot up the game.”
