The graphics are generally praised for their appealing visuals, especially during dynamic moments, but some details, like character faces, can appear odd upon closer inspection. Comparisons to older titles like Saurian highlight a perceived lack of polish in the current game's graphics, suggesting that even a small team could have achieved a more impressive aesthetic.
“The visuals are really nice while soaring, creating an entertaining and lighthearted experience.”
“The graphics are stunning and immersive, making the game feel amazing.”
“Even with a small team, the graphics are impressive and stand out in comparison to other games.”
“This game came out this year, but Saurian was released in 2017, and when I got it back then, it looked amazing and felt amazing. Now, the game is nearly dead. I know Saurian had a small team, but even if it was made by just one person, I know for a fact it would have looked better than this game's graphics.”
“The graphics are disappointing and feel outdated compared to other games released in the same year.”
“I expected more from the visuals; they seem rushed and lack detail, making the overall experience less immersive.”

The story is enriched through exploration, as players uncover shrines that provide a compelling background about a once-thriving society. However, some users express disappointment with the design of the dragon, criticizing its appearance and noting that it resembles a character from a children's storybook rather than a more sophisticated creature.
“The exploration leads to finding shrines which reveal a decent background story that fills you in on what happened to this quiet, abandoned society.”

Despite its clunky appearance and dated animations reminiscent of early polygon games, the gameplay is noted to be surprisingly refined and enjoyable.
“Yes, it looks clunky, and some of the animations are reminiscent of Virtua Fighter 1 and other first-generation polygon games, but the gameplay is actually very refined.”
