The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism for being heavily reliant on misleading advertisements and aggressive pay-to-play mechanics. Many users report that the game features constant ads and in-app purchases that are essential for progression, while also accusing it of using false advertising by showcasing gameplay from unrelated titles. Although some players appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards without being forced, the overall sentiment leans towards frustration with the game's deceptive marketing and cash-grab tactics.
“Let’s keep this basic and short: it’s a fun game that takes time (don’t expect to clear it in a day), and the in-app purchases seem very tempting (although I haven’t given in yet).”
“Extremely pay to play, constant ads.”
“You do have to watch a lot of ads to get items that are impossible to get unless you pay.”
“Game is nothing like what is shown in advertisements.”

The story aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the overwhelming autoplay feature that detracts from narrative engagement. While some appreciate the graphics and character design, they feel the lack of a compelling storyline and the automated gameplay make it difficult to immerse themselves in the game's world. Overall, players desire a more interactive experience that allows for deeper storytelling and character development.
“The details, the voice lines, the story, it all fits so well, and the characters are so pretty and nice. You would think that the game would cost money, but it's free, making it a great game to play on road trips!”
“This game is so good! It has great graphics, a good storyline, and the combat is great. I love the different classes you can pick (I especially love the rogue). So overall, if you love RPGs, you should get this game.”
“This game plays like an MMO but has voice acting and story sequences like a high-quality anime movie.”
“Auto play ruins the storyline (if there is one) and is inconsistent.”
“There isn't a story to dive into and it just keeps putting you into autoplay after I turn it off every time.”
“But there is no storyline to it, plus if you want actual gameplay you do not get it, it's just auto always on and you cannot shut it off.”

The gameplay experience is heavily criticized for relying on an auto mode that can leave players confused about their next steps, while also being compared unfavorably to the gameplay of the upcoming game "Forspoken," which was used in misleading advertisements. Players note a lack of character customization and poor mechanics, describing it as a generic and subpar experience that mimics other games in the genre. Despite some enjoyment from the expansive world and combat mechanics, the overall sentiment leans towards disappointment due to false advertising and gameplay quality.
“It'll keep you busy for a very long time between its huge world, deep combat mechanics, endgame, and events.”
“I have been playing many games similar to Astral Soul Rising, I really enjoy playing this game; it is pretty straightforward and so far I didn't encounter any problem with gameplay, login, or with the recharging feature.”
“Keep it up with the good work and I'm looking forward to new events and gameplay.”
“The auto mode dominates all gameplay and sometimes it stops, leaving you wondering where to go next.”
“Subpar gameplay with an overdone storyline.”
“No character customization at all; just pick a generic man, woman, or loli and start your self-playing game that has absolutely no gameplay.”
