The story in the game is generally perceived as repetitive and lacking depth, with many quests feeling poorly designed and offering little sense of progression. While some players find the storyline decent, the overwhelming need for grinding and the presence of microtransactions detract from the overall experience. Overall, the narrative fails to engage players meaningfully, leading to a mixed reception.
“At 80 hours, I finished all the main story and side quests.”
“Storyline is decent so far, and the classes in the game are also cool.”
“You need a story to get behind (Ashfall might change this, I guess; we will see).”
“The quest, story, and almost everything feels repetitive.”
“You basically run around place to place fighting repetitive monsters to complete poorly made quests that offer no sense of progression whatsoever.”
“I have completed all of the available quests for now and I'll be honest, it took me 40 hours to get to level 15 with massive grinding.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback, with some users noting that while they aren't the best, they are impressive for a mobile title and run smoothly at 60 fps. Despite some criticisms regarding the overall quality, many players find the visuals acceptable given the game's limited budget and small development team. Overall, the graphics are seen as a decent aspect of the game, contributing to the fun experience despite some shortcomings.
“Sure, the graphics aren't the best but they are pretty damn good considering you can also play this game on your mobile phone.”
“The graphics are nice, with it being capped at 60 fps.”
“Graphics: 9/10”
“The game is a bit good, but the graphics are a little... bad. However, it's still a fun game to play. The premium currency is unobtainable through simple non-paying gameplay (although it's still in open beta, so they probably will make dragon crystals obtainable soon). The leveling up system is a bit grindy (considering the level cap is still at 15, it will probably change soon). But I'm still looking forward to the full release.”
“Not going to comment on the graphics because it's made on a limited budget by a fairly small team, but the gameplay is really bad.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it enjoyable yet grindy, particularly due to the slow experience gain and the premium currency being difficult to obtain without spending money. While the game is fun and engaging, the leveling system feels tedious, especially with the current level cap of 15. Overall, players are optimistic about improvements in the full release, despite concerns about graphics and monetization.
“The gameplay is incredibly fun, but it seems like you don't even gain XP unless you kill around a hundred monsters.”
“The game is enjoyable to play, although the graphics could use improvement. The premium currency is currently hard to obtain without spending money, but since it's in open beta, there's hope for changes. The leveling system feels a bit grindy, especially with the level cap at 15, but I'm looking forward to the full release.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be quite significant, particularly as they reach the level cap of 15, which requires extensive dungeon runs for experience points. Many express frustration that these dungeons yield less experience than story missions, leading to a tedious leveling process that can take around 40 hours. While the game shows potential, the current grind-heavy mechanics may deter some players, especially those seeking a more balanced progression system.
“You'll get to the point where if you want to level up, you'll have to grind certain dungeons a bunch of times, not to mention that they give far less experience than story missions (which you probably can't do if you are grinding the dungeons for experience in the first place).”

The game features amusing dialogue and entertaining glitches, such as getting stuck in trees, which adds to its fun factor. However, there are concerns that it may evolve into a pay-to-play model, potentially detracting from the overall experience.
“The game is still worth checking out; it can work on low-spec computers. It's fun glitching yourself up trees and building, and there is some funny dialogue.”
