The game's story is described as a rich, Soviet-flavored narrative that is both humorous and well-balanced, though some players find the quest structure to be standard and lacking in logical progression. While the original storyline remains engaging, the overall experience can feel rushed, as players can complete it in a couple of weeks. Additionally, the quest mechanics, including a map system reminiscent of other games, may detract from the immersion due to their repetitive nature and reliance on group activities.
“Rich Soviet-flavored storyline, nice mechanics, funny, well balanced, etc. then devs sold it.”
“With a big budget, nice graphics, and an interesting storyline, it promised to be a great and riveting adventure.”
“The plot is interesting.”
“So far the quests seem pretty standard; nothing you haven't seen here in terms of talking to people, killing creatures, collecting items, and going to places.”
“The quests are also very hard to do in order since they don't seem to follow a logical progression; some quests will require you to stay in the same area, and then one of them will make you go to the other side of town.”
“It's not cool that you have to get what's called a megaphone in order to talk to other people in the world chat, though, and the mandatory group/instance quests for the empire are an annoyance since you can't progress if you can't find anyone to do the instance with you.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its beauty and unique incorporation of Russian and Soviet folklore styles, enhancing the overall experience. However, some players find it repetitive and prefer to listen to their own music due to its tendency to fade in and out unexpectedly. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, it may not hold up for extended play sessions.
“There is always something to do with yourself, and being in the game world is just nice. The visuals are good, as mentioned earlier, and the music is beautiful; the soul rejoices!”
“The game was really fun, with good music, good characters, and classes.”
“On the other hand, it has a unique art style and absolutely amazing music, both made in Russian and Soviet folklore style, looking and sounding just wonderful.”
“The music fades in and out at seemingly random times, and it gets old quickly, so I prefer listening to my own music while playing.”
“Though you can try it just to get a glimpse of the music and art.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it has become increasingly tedious and requires significant time or financial investment, especially with recent expansions. Many feel that the farming mechanics detract from the overall enjoyment, particularly for free-to-play users.
“Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
“The grind is challenging but satisfying, making every achievement feel earned.”
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“Soon further expansions arrived, making the game more and more of an unfun, tedious grind that required even more money invested than before to play properly, or nerves of steel if you were a free player. Farming is not fun, I tell you.”
