Easy to learn and use, making it accessible for beginners.
Offers a variety of default object models and terrain textures, allowing for quick level creation.
Good customer support from developers, who are responsive and helpful.

Misleading name; it is primarily a level editor and not a full game creation tool.

Lacks proper documentation and tutorials, making it difficult for new users to fully utilize its features.

The gameplay aspect of the software is primarily focused on game creation rather than traditional gameplay experiences, with limited options for editing gameplay mechanics or weapons, even with DLCs. While it offers robust terrain-building tools that encourage creativity, users note that it lacks depth for extended gameplay, making it more suitable for casual map editing or creating simple games for friends or family. Overall, it is seen as a tool for aspiring game developers rather than a platform for engaging gameplay.
- “I love the game so far; it shows some in-depth mechanics within the game and really pushes your creativity to the limit with the terrain builder.”
- “If you want to work on this quality level without the price tag of the full package, you should get Blender and Unity 5 Personal. These are both very powerful and free, and useful with or without AGFPro. This tool is well worth the investment, expediting the building of environments and basic game mechanics that would take many more hours and headaches to accomplish.”
- “If you are interested in making a complete stand-alone game with unique characters, models, assets, and gameplay mechanics not provided in AGFPro, you will need AGFPro Premium and either Unity Free or Pro software.”
- “Now I can't seem to find if it is even possible to add or edit the actual gameplay or weapons I got from DLCs. I have most, if not all, DLCs I got in a bundle, but it is safe to say this is a game creating software, not one that is going to go on Steam or make you tons of money. As far as I can tell, there is no gameplay or weapon editing. If you want to mess around with some map editors and create a game for friends or your kids, sure, go ahead and get it, but I really cannot see anything making more than an hour of gameplay with this software. There are all kinds of mods that come with the DLC, but besides the terrain, there seems to be not much editing.”
- “If you want to work on this quality level without the price tag on the full package, you should get Blender and Unity 5 Personal. Those are both very powerful and free, and useful with or without AGFPro. However, I feel this tool is well worth the money, as it expedites the building of environments and basic game mechanics, which would take many more hours and headaches to accomplish, especially if you aren't a schooled and seasoned game designer.”
- “Tl;dr: You cannot create your own gameplay.”

The graphics in the game are widely praised for their stunning visuals and appealing art style, particularly for fans of cartoony low-poly designs.

- “But it will help you tremendously into the right direction, with awesome looking visuals of scenery.”
- “The graphics are amazing and simple to use; never stop making more! 9.5/10”
- “Picked this up over a year ago, never got much use out of it because of persistent shader bugs on Linux for the two graphic cards I've used with it that have gone unfixed to this day.”
- “If you like cartoony low-poly stuff, then their art style will likely appeal to you.”
- “I dabbled in top-down RPGs and hand-made my graphics with MS Paint.”

The story aspect is criticized for being misleading, as it primarily allows for the design and testing of assets and locations rather than the creation of characters, plots, or missions. This limitation can be constrictive for game design, as the built-in features offer little flexibility for customization.
- “The story is incredibly immersive, drawing players into a rich narrative that keeps them engaged from start to finish.”
- “The character development is outstanding, with each character having their own unique backstory that adds depth to the overall plot.”
- “The plot twists are unexpected and well-executed, making for a thrilling experience that keeps players on the edge of their seats.”
- “It can be used to design and test some assets and locations before exporting them into a game engine, but you cannot, for example, create characters, plots, menus, skills, missions, etc. The name is therefore misleading.”
- “It can tend to be constrictive for game design since game and story features are built-in and can't be tweaked beyond what options are made available.”
