Overall, the graphics of the game are generally well-received, with many users praising their quality and aesthetic appeal. While some players find the graphics to be average or reminiscent of lower-tier games, the majority appreciate the visual design and character models. However, there are occasional complaints about technical issues and the game's progression system that detract from the overall experience.
“Easy to play with excellent graphics.”
“Great graphics and gameplay.”
“Graphics are very good and characters are great too.”
“Pretty graphics with automatic combat and autopilot MMORPG: combined with painfully slow level-gated progression makes this a hard pass.”
“This is not the game that I used to play; the graphics look cheap and feel cheap. But let's see, I loved Aura Kingdom and used to play it when I was in high school.”
“The game could have been done better; the graphics are okay, but the draw rate and trying to get eidolons and costumes are horrible. I thought this would be like Aura Kingdom. I spent thousands of dollars on Aura Kingdom, but I'm not going to do that for Aura Kingdom 2. Evolution is more like disappointment; anyways, I'm not going to get my Discord friends to play.”

“Some quests are bugged, and I can't progress through them. For example, in the 'Goddess Love 2' quest, please fix it.”

Players note that while free-to-play (F2P) options exist, significant grinding—often several hours daily—is necessary to remain competitive. Additionally, issues with random number generation (RNG) and frequent bugs, particularly during AFK grinding, detract from the experience, leading to frustration for many users.
“Possible for free-to-play players, but it requires a lot of grinding (a few hours a day) to keep up with the current level.”
“The RNG is so bad that they only cater to whales, and there are too many bugs, especially when afk grinding; characters can get randomly stuck.”
