The game's story is generally described as simple and linear, often relying on familiar tropes like the "chosen one" and "save the world" narrative, which some players found charming while others deemed it cliché and shallow. Many reviews noted issues with pacing, bugs affecting quest progression, and a lack of engaging cutscenes, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, some players appreciated the emotional moments and the effort put into the world-building, suggesting that while the story may not be groundbreaking, it offers enough to keep players entertained.
- “The story was great.”
- “The story is not exactly Game of Thrones, but there are quite a few tear-jerking moments in there that I was not prepared for.”
- “A lot of care went into what they were making, and I saw that in the fact that it is a voiced story (the important bits are), a lot of different play styles, a decent variety of enemies, a beautiful world, and a very responsive developer.”
- “The story is shallow and poorly written, but the gameplay mechanics and amazing OST make the game redeemable.”
- “The world feels bland, the characters have no personality, the voice and audio mixing sounds like somebody is reading from a children’s book, and I couldn’t care less about yet another 'chosen one' BS story.”
- “It's clear that a lot of work and passion has gone into making this game, but I just can't get invested in the story with still-frame cutscenes.”

The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many praising the charming art style, impressive lighting, and overall visual polish, especially considering it was developed by a small team. While some players appreciate the low-poly aesthetic and find it cute and immersive, others note inconsistencies in the UI and occasional graphical glitches. Overall, the visuals contribute significantly to the game's atmosphere, making exploration enjoyable despite some minor technical issues.
- “What a charming indie game, considering it was made by 2 people it's surprisingly well polished, combat is weighty and responsive, the graphics are very good and the lighting is very impressive.”
- “The graphics are truly beautiful and the game runs smooth (at least for me).”
- “As far as visuals go the game is great just walking around in the woods is so bright and warm, the caves are just dark enough to make you feel enclosed but not so dark that you can't see anything, the populated areas feel busy like the characters actually have things to do besides just talk to you.”
- “Perhaps the biggest red flag, for me personally, is the fact that the graphics for the UI don't match the game world at all.”
- “With the graphical style the devs have chosen, this makes it feel like a demo for a game from the mid 90s, not a current gen indie.”
- “Graphics are just above Lego but without the environment destruction capability.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun and easy-to-learn mechanics, with a variety of weapon types and mini open-worlds to explore, reminiscent of titles like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild." However, some players note issues such as a lack of clear instructions for certain mechanics, an uncomfortable combat experience due to the absence of a lock-on feature, and a feeling of emptiness or unfinished elements in the overall game. While the gameplay has redeemable qualities, it is marred by core issues that detract from the experience.
- “The gameplay is fairly upfront fantasy fare and is easy to get the hang of pretty quickly.”
- “Really fun gameplay with a wonderful collection of mini open-worlds to explore.”
- “The mechanics are easy to use and provide you with some nice variation for attacks.”
- “Some mechanics, like the healing items, are not explained properly; that you have to put them on your hotkeys to use them, but this is never explained.”
- “The gameplay could easily be forgiven, or even add to the game's charm, if other aspects of gameplay are solid enough to prop it up, but unfortunately the rest of the game is either too dull or feels unfinished.”
- “But regarding more substantial, core issues to the foundation of the gameplay, even after less than an hour of playtime, I can point out a few pretty obvious ones that make the game unfun to play, and should be pretty obvious for any QA tester.”
