The game is generally considered quite grindy, especially in the late stages, with many players noting that the grind can become tedious and repetitive. While some enjoy the grinding aspect and find it rewarding, others feel it detracts from the overall experience, particularly when trying to upgrade characters or complete quests. Recent updates have improved the balance, making the grind feel less overwhelming, but potential players should be aware that significant time investment is still required.
- “But once the grindy part hit, I was really turned off and had to keep trying to power through it before I just couldn't anymore.”
- “The game is fun until this point, but you'll need to sink multiple days into just grinding rare spawns before you make any more progress.”
- “My only hope and request is that the grinding of upgrading the robots becomes quicker and not so demanding, because there's really so many of them and trying to get the materials for all of them gets very tiring and quite boring.”

The gameplay is highly praised for its engaging core loop, combining monster collection with unique combat mechanics and a charming art style, resulting in around 50 hours of enjoyable content. While some players appreciate the grinding aspect, especially towards the end, others may find it repetitive and time-consuming. Overall, the game offers a well-balanced experience with various mechanics, including exploration and upgrades, though it may not appeal to those averse to grind-heavy gameplay.

- “Overall, I find the gameplay loop engaging and well designed.”
- “The game and gameplay are well balanced, and the game offers a good deal of content.”
- “The core gameplay loop of the game has a lot of strange decisions that were clearly motivated by the microtransactions that used to exist, but I think overall the game works well now with them removed.”
- “Level 4 and 5 are the last levels to fully upgrade the tree of the robot, but with how important that mechanic is, it should take less time to complete.”
- “Granted it is a grindy sort of game, so if you don't like grinding for making the perfect team or if you don't enjoy a somewhat repetitive mechanic (which most monster collection and battle games are at its core), then you should probably look elsewhere.”

The story in the game is generally considered enjoyable, featuring a full single-player narrative with numerous side quests, though some find the main quest and environments to be dull. Players appreciate the absence of energy limits and microtransactions, allowing for a more relaxed experience, but note that progressing through the story can take around 50 hours. Overall, while the storyline has its interesting moments, it is described as simple and somewhat repetitive.
- “The game is at its core a monster collection game but with an interesting twist for its combat mechanic, allowing for auto-play for the easier battles. Most importantly, the world-building and story premise are very fun and unique - as are the bots themselves.”
- “It has an amazing story with many side quests (which can be found in contracts).”
- “Full single-player story and everything is unlocked and earned like a normal game you can just enjoy.”
- “Botworld Odyssey is essentially the same storyline as Botworld Adventure, minus the energy, time limits, cooldowns, ads, and microtransactions generally inherent in the mobile platform.”
- “Environments are dull... quests are dull...”
- “While we don't need to max out everything, we still need to max out at least one main party to clear the story, and I guess it still needs around 50 hours to do so.”
