The gameplay is criticized for being minimal and confusing, lacking essential features like tutorials, tooltips, and a compelling narrative, which results in a frustrating experience. Players find the mechanics of the idler/autobattler genre poorly executed, with the gameplay loop being opaque and unengaging. Overall, the game offers little in terms of motivation or clarity, making it difficult for players to enjoy the experience.
- “Honestly, the few seconds every hour or so to figure out where we can kill is the closest this game has to gameplay, so I guess it's better for lacking that quality of life feature.”
- “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
- “I found the mechanics to be clunky and unresponsive, which really detracted from the overall experience.”

Reviewers note that while the game may lack the humor found in other titles within the genre, such as "Adventure Capitalist," it still offers a light-hearted experience. The humor is seen as a necessary element to alleviate the monotony of gameplay, suggesting that a more comedic approach could enhance player engagement and enjoyment.
- “I understand that 'AAA' indie idlers like Realm Grinder are a much more demanding experience, but I'd go so far as to recommend a truly barbarous time-sink like Adventure Capitalist over this for the sheer possibility (and relief!) of achieving milestones/progression, and a sorely needed sense of humor when bothering with this genre.”
- “Funny thing, this dev made this so that you waste time checking on it + maybe Steam stats will.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for being minimal and unclear, lacking any meaningful narrative or motivation for players. The absence of tutorials or tooltips further contributes to a confusing experience, leaving players without a coherent understanding of the game's context.
- “Bare bones and somewhat incomprehensible fantasy RPG-lite idler/autobattler; the static cute-pixel UI belies a perfectly opaque gameplay loop with no tutorial, tooltips, story, or simple motivating impulse.”
