The graphics in the game have received widespread acclaim, with many users praising the stunning artwork, character designs, and overall visual quality.

“The graphics are absolutely stunning, and the story sucks you in!”
“The graphics are gorgeous, the gameplay is smooth.”
“The graphics are amazing, the storyline is interesting, and the overall gameplay is pretty easy.”
“Also, the graphics in this game are sometimes horribly distorted.”
“I started playing about a month ago, so this must be a recent change, but the new character models look outright bad, even on high graphics.”
“The new artwork is absolutely horrendous, but what makes it worse is that when summoning x10 now, whatever class you summon, that's all you get. There are no variants of mage; I got x9 male mages and 1 of the same class female. This update and bugs are letting the game down.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that while microtransactions exist, they are not overly intrusive and do not hinder gameplay significantly. However, numerous users expressed frustration over misleading advertisements that do not accurately represent the game's features, leading to disappointment regarding the promised mechanics, particularly around character customization and hybrid creation. Overall, while some players find the game enjoyable and free-to-play friendly, others criticize it as a cash grab that relies heavily on deceptive marketing tactics.
“A fun auto battler which, after a few hours of playing, doesn't seem to try and shove its monetization in your way.”
“Microtransactions are present, but it is free-to-play, so no purchases are required.”
“The in-app purchases are actually optional and just speed up the game a bit, but a free-to-play person can also play and enjoy the game as well!”
“Now, it's just a huge cash grab.”
“The 'heir and bloodline' system that this game prides itself in specifying both in the description and in the obnoxious ads is a lie - it's nothing more than a separate means to get predetermined characters from its exploration (the gacha element) with no 'inheritance' whatsoever.”
“Love how the key advertising point, the lycan race's king, is locked behind a $30 paywall.”

Overall, the reviews indicate that the game's replayability is limited, primarily due to a lack of diverse playable races and relationship options, which diminishes the potential for varied gameplay experiences. In contrast, titles like The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption are highlighted for their strong replay value, suggesting that this game falls short in comparison.
“Games like Witcher 3 and Red Dead are known for their replayability and are basically revered.”
“A game that doesn't allow any replayability can be easily forgotten.”
“Okay but not a lot of replay value.”
“The main appeal advertised by the ads is that there are different races, like werewolves, dwarves, elves, orcs, humans, even draconic type races, but only 3 of these are playable races: orcs, humans, and elves, the most generic ones. The main appeal that drew me in was the thought that maybe this game would have something different from other games of its type through being able to play these different races, but no, and on top of that, you can't have different types of relationships gender-wise.”
