The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it overly simplistic and reliant on button-mashing, while others appreciate its smooth mechanics and variety of enemies that keep it engaging. Many noted the potential for improvement, particularly in difficulty and animation transitions, while the energy-based mechanic was seen as a frustrating limitation. Overall, the game shows promise with its unique character abilities and responsive controls, but it currently lacks the depth and challenge expected from a soulslike experience.
“I tried the China version, and it exceeded all my expectations in terms of gameplay and visuals.”
“The variety of enemies keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting.”
“Smooth, responsive combat mechanics.”
“The gameplay is just mash until something works or you have high enough gear and beat them without trying; no real skill involved.”
“Apart from that, the gameplay is a cheap soulslike that has very promising mechanics and combat dynamics. However, it is almost impossible to lose or die, at least in the beginning. The game looks like something that can be improved, but it's definitely not good yet.”
“Gameplay is just smashing buttons; there's dodging and other mechanics, but it feels like there's very little impact.”

The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players praising its gripping narrative and unique character backstories that add depth, while others criticize it for being convoluted and lacking substance. Despite the engaging mythological inspirations and visually stunning presentation, interruptions and a cluttered interface detract from the overall storytelling experience.
“The story is gripping from the very first scene.”
“Each character has a unique backstory that adds depth to the game.”
“Engaging story with mythological inspirations.”
“It's your average mobile game cash grab, bombarding you with 100 pop-ups for a million things that don't matter. It assaults you with constant interface interruptions and has that auto-walk quest completion that all these games have.”
“No one would be able to follow the game story, and it just feels so empty.”

The monetization in bogx: orisols features a mix of gacha elements and various resource currencies, including paid options, which some players view as a cash grab. While it incorporates these elements, it is perceived more as a randomizer for status attributes rather than a direct incentive for character purchases. Overall, the monetization strategy has received mixed reactions, with some players feeling misled by advertisements.
“Currencies (many types of resources and yes, there are paid currency cash grab elements).”
“This is worse than anything; don't believe the advertisement.”
“It's not bad, it's just not what I expected from the advertisement.”
