The gameplay is characterized by straightforward mechanics that are easy to learn and re-engage with, making it accessible for both new and returning players. While programming is not mandatory, it enhances the experience, allowing for automation and customization; however, some users have reported technical issues, such as game freezes and inconsistent core mechanics. Additionally, the crafting system feels underdeveloped, and while the scripting documentation is detailed, the gameplay documentation lacks clarity, leading to some frustration among players.
- “The mechanics of the game are very straightforward and easy to understand.”
- “I'm over 200 hours in and still tinkering with mechanics and improving code for my team.”
- “It's a very simple MMORPG with the twist that you can (legally) create your own scripts to automate the gameplay.”
- “And as if all of this wasn't frustrating enough, even the core mechanics of the gameplay are inconsistent.”
- “All of this simple/repetitive gameplay is much more complicated to handle via scripting.”
- “My main complaint so far is that, while the documentation on the scripting interface is fairly detailed, the documentation on certain actual gameplay elements is... not.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be both tedious and time-consuming, often requiring extensive hours to achieve meaningful progress, especially for late-game items with low drop rates. While the ability to automate grinding through coding offers some relief and efficiency, many feel that the repetitive nature of tasks and the lack of engaging mechanics can diminish the overall experience. Additionally, frequent nerfs to farming methods can frustrate players who invest time in optimizing their strategies.
- “Many of the truly late game items don't even drop from monsters or have drop rates that require 6+ months of grinding.”
- “After 3 hours of tweaking the potion logic, simple combat AI, and farming slimes, I had 4 drops and couldn't even afford more than two or three pieces of newbie gear.”
- “Simply grinding on mobs with the continual select-attack-kill-select-attack-kill methodology gives me no incentive to try things like building aiming functions or anything strategic.”

However, some users find the quests to be excessively grindy, with repetitive tasks that detract from the overall experience. Despite this, the freedom to customize character actions offers a unique and enjoyable gameplay dynamic.
- “Stupidly grindy quests like 'go kill 500 bats and come back'.”
- “Any other MMORPG has boring quests and boring grinds.”
- “You get a coin for each quest you finish and some items require 2000 coins to buy.”

The music and sound design in the game are generally considered neat but unremarkable, leading some players to prefer turning off the audio during extended play sessions. However, the soundtracks are noted to be polished, contributing positively to the overall experience despite the game's early access status.
- “This game is brilliant; despite being in early access, the graphics and soundtracks are very polished.”
- “The sound and music are neat, but nothing special here to mention; if you are going, like me, to play this game for a longer period of time, you're probably turning the audio off for this game and playing something else in the background.”

Players appreciate the optimization aspect of the game, enjoying the process of fine-tuning their characters through automated tasks, strategic positioning in combat, and scripting skill usage for maximum efficiency. This focus on optimization enhances their overall gameplay experience.
- “I'm having a lot of fun slowly making my character more and more optimized with automated runs to stores and the bank (better look for merchants while I'm there!), positioning during combat (as I'm ranged, I want to take as little damage as possible), and scripting out the best scenarios to use my class' skills.”
