The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many praising its solid mechanics, engaging story, and high replayability.

- “One of the best RPG mobile games I've seen; both the gameplay and controls are excellent and I still can't believe it's not popular yet.”
- “It has native controller support, but the button that should open the ability tree does not work and you can't remap this one. So the tutorial you should do by touchscreen, as per the webpage, also during gameplay some notifications require this button and I can't use it.”
- “Game-breaking bugs: - when getting the first skill point, the button indicated to open the skill tree doesn't work - if I get to the skill tree and apply my points by pressing map and switching to skills tab, this doesn't register as having used the skill point and I can't progress the game - not redetecting controller (Gamesir S8) if plugged and unplugged during gameplay.”
- “Good game to pass the time, but the primary attack button needs a neutral lock-on feature to attack the closest target, as there are a lot of instances where you accidentally target the wrong enemies in combat. Gameplay is pretty hard to master on touchscreen.”
