The game's story is described as immersive and engaging, with a well-developed narrative that improves as players progress. However, many users express frustration with the auto-play mechanics that detract from the storytelling experience, as well as issues with quest glitches and pacing. While some find the storyline interesting and unique, others criticize it for being generic and overly reliant on typical MMO tropes.
“The story is immersive and engaging.”
“Addictive game with a well-developed storyline that keeps you playing, without being annoyed by a cheesy adolescent story interrupting the flow of the game.”
“It's so awesome the storyline is complex and you get attached to your character and the other characters that help you; they are not useless in battle.”
“After that disappointment, there's a bigger one: it's just another 'tap on this quest and the game will do everything for you!' game, absolutely plagued with top-up buttons everywhere. This game just wants to grab your money and deceive you with some cute graphics.”
“Boring story, boring gameplay, shoves purchase/VIP ads in your face, breaks several copyright laws ripping stuff from Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, and several other games.”
“I wad hoping for a more unique experience, but this is just a rehash of the same auto quest RPG trash.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its interesting mechanics, smooth controls, and beautiful graphics. However, criticisms include a reliance on auto-play features, a lack of character customization, and concerns about monetization strategies that detract from the overall experience. While some find the gameplay engaging and fun, others describe it as generic and repetitive, often comparing it unfavorably to other titles in the genre.

“Amazing gameplay and game environment!”
“Its mechanics, graphics, and gameplay are extraordinary.”
“Though the graphics and gameplay might seem 'different', it's just your generic mobile MMO.”
“Poor UI, offensive monetization, grammatical errors in menu options, minimal character options for customization, generic MMO gameplay adds nothing to a stale formula.”
“Boring story, boring gameplay, shoves purchase/VIP ads in your face, breaks several copyright laws ripping stuff from Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, and several other games.”

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.”
“Would've given it 5 stars if it weren't for the constant glitches and lags when playing the game, and even the controls sometimes take time to respond when you're playing the game, but other than that I'm mostly satisfied with the overall product.”
“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 monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as overwhelmingly aggressive, with players feeling bombarded by in-game ads and constant prompts to purchase packs and currency. While in-app purchases are not mandatory for progression, they significantly ease advancement, leading many to label the game a "cash grab." Overall, the monetization approach detracts from the gameplay experience, with numerous reviews expressing frustration over the excessive focus on generating revenue rather than providing a quality gaming experience.
“It's not a pay-to-win kind of game either; although advancement is easier with in-app purchases, they don't make purchases a mandatory requirement.”
“Some of the in-game purchases are a bit expensive.”
“One of the finest games available at launch... the graphics, the controls... everything is just marvelous... it's a game worth your time... and the best part, no ads... this game is like a dream come true... keep up the great work, guys.”
“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.”
“Every 'update' is another cash grab from the developers, and if you do pay, don't expect much.”

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.”
