The game's graphics are generally praised for their solid quality, with particular highlights on detailed landscapes, impressive fire effects, and a visually appealing atmosphere. However, some reviews note that the visuals can feel dated and modest, yet they remain functional and contribute to an enjoyable gameplay experience. Overall, while the graphics may not be cutting-edge, they effectively enhance the game's charm and role-playing elements.
- “Graphically, the game looks solid as well.”
- “Nice graphics, I especially like the landscapes and the walls - very good details even from close range. Kudos for the fire effect as you turn your enemies to crisps, and the smoke coming out of their bodies. Good options for roleplay as a tank, damage dealer, or mage, with little rewards for exploring every bit of the maps.”
- “Simple old school hack and slash with great graphics and atmosphere.”
- “Visually, the graphics are dated—there’s no getting around that—but they’re functional.”
- “Verdict: Breath of Life is an amateur, modest project with limited systems, dated visuals, and a largely forgettable story—but within its scope, it delivers a functional, often enjoyable combat-and-loot loop.”

Gameplay is visually appealing with attractive character designs and a variety of equipment, but it lacks depth, featuring a repetitive combat system primarily based on simple click-based attacks. While the mechanics are straightforward and the structure revolves around combat arenas, the overall experience may feel shallow for those seeking more complex RPG elements. However, the game does offer a satisfying progression loop that can keep players engaged despite its limitations.
- “The structure is clear and repetitive in a way that feels intentional: gameplay revolves around combat arenas, where completing objectives across several arenas unlocks a larger, more open and longer level.”
- “Mechanically, it’s lighter and smaller than comparable niche action RPG projects, but the combat can still be pleasant enough, and the progression loop has that familiar 'one more run' pull.”
- “The graphics are pretty good and the mechanics aren't bad.”
- “The main character, as well as all her different armors and animations, are really pretty, and equipment has some decent variety, but there isn't much depth to the mechanics.”
- “Not with how boring the minute gameplay is with no abilities or combos or anything; you just have a 3-hit click-click-click routine with either a one-handed sword or dual-wielding swords (who needs non-blade weapons anyway, I guess?), or use a super clunky bow.”
- “If you expect deep RPG mechanics or standout production values, you’ll likely be disappointed.”

The story is generally considered average and lacks memorability, serving primarily as a thin justification for combat rather than a compelling narrative. While it doesn't detract significantly from gameplay, it is viewed as a modest and forgettable aspect of the overall experience. Players note that the slow progression and repetitive missions further diminish engagement with the story.
- “The story doesn't suck; I'm not sure where it's going yet, but I'm currently next up for map 16.”
- “Verdict: Breath of Life is an amateur, modest project with limited systems, dated visuals, and a largely forgettable story—but within its scope, it delivers a functional, often enjoyable combat-and-loot loop.”
- “On the downside, everything else is ugly, there's no enemy diversity, combat is clunky and too easy, there's no variety to the ways of disposing of all the various types of skeletons, and the story is average for the hack 'n' slash genre (so, terrible).”
- “The story is… fine, but not memorable—more of a thin justification for the next set of fights than a reason to keep playing.”
- “Replaying the same missions over and over again is not fun.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that the minimal XP rewards from enemies lead to a tedious and overly repetitive leveling process.
- “My biggest complaint is that every enemy gives the same tiny amount of XP, making leveling up feel excessively grindy.”
- “The grinding in this game is unbearable; it feels like I'm just repeating the same tasks over and over without any real progress.”
- “I find the experience gain to be painfully slow, which turns the game into a tedious grind rather than an enjoyable adventure.”

Character development is criticized for being lacking at the beginning, as players do not have access to meaningful skill customization early on, which limits the depth of character progression.
- “Where it’s noticeably thinner is character development at the start: you don’t get meaningful skill customization upfront.”
- “The characters feel one-dimensional and lack the depth needed for meaningful growth throughout the game.”
- “I was disappointed by the lack of choices that impact character development; it feels like a missed opportunity.”
