The music in the game is described as minimal, with some users noting it consists mainly of ambient noise rather than a robust soundtrack, which contrasts with previous titles like Avalon Legends Solitaire 2 that featured a more enjoyable score. While some players appreciate the chill background music that enhances the relaxing experience, others find the lack of a significant musical component disappointing. Overall, the music aspect seems to evoke mixed feelings, with some enjoying the zen-like atmosphere it creates, while others miss a more engaging soundtrack.
“Some nice chill music and overall just a fun game that can throw you into zen mode.”
“Nice background music.”
“I have music turned off so cannot comment on that, but overall this is a 5-star card game of its type.”
“It's just like Avalon Legends Solitaire 2, except it hardly has any music, only some ambient noise, while the previous game had a relatively nice soundtrack. This one features special cards that can be really annoying, especially when they make a level impossible to solve; only restarting helps.”

The gameplay is primarily centered around city-building mechanics, which some users feel detracts from the overall experience. The introduction of power-ups is seen as an attempt to enhance gameplay, but many perceive it as a shift towards a solitaire-style format reminiscent of cradle games, where players complete levels to gather resources for city or castle construction.
“This brings us to the city-building mechanics.”
“I feel like they tried to add to the gameplay with the power-ups and took away from it.”
“Much of the gameplay appears to me to be a solitaire version of the cradle games, where you play levels to acquire resources and the like to build or rebuild a city or castle.”

The game's story features an unexpected background mission that involves building a village and collecting magic powers, which adds an enjoyable layer of depth to the typical solitaire gameplay. This element pleasantly surprises players and enhances the overall experience.
“I had no idea that the game comes with a sort of background mission of building up your village and collecting new magic powers along the way, but it was all a pleasant surprise which adds a bit of fun to the usual monotony of a solitaire game.”
