The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring engaging building mechanics and a fun combat system, though it suffers from issues like hit detection and a clunky UI. While the game offers a solid experience for an early-access title, some players feel it lacks depth and innovation, with repetitive resource management mechanics that may not satisfy those seeking a more hardcore gameplay loop. Overall, it shows promise but requires further refinement to fully engage players.
- “The gameplay is great for an early-access game, and for the couple of months I have played it, I have watched it grow!”
- “The game itself is very enjoyable; the system it has to build your own town, mansion, or even castle is well made. The NPCs that you can hire are well designed, the store mechanics work nicely, and the combat is quite fun.”
- “It gave me so much fun within 5 hours of gameplay.”
- “The game is a mash of low poly assets with quests and premade mechanics sprinkled in.”
- “Trying to drive fans from a game that has a massively hardcore gameplay loop and then giving them gameplay that essentially boils down to 'place a resource node in the middle of your base and infinitely farm it' is likely not the smartest move.”
- “The recent news article asking to be nominated for the most 'innovative gameplay' award to me despite having the most basic mechanics and gameplay loops shows that this game is boasting far more than it should with the current features.”

The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with many players feeling that it fails to engage them meaningfully.

- “A cool pre-game storyline!”
- “You can hear other players speaking with mission givers, NPCs, directly.”
- “2 - unique quests system, - quest navigating orientation with an exclamation mark directly over the world scenery, with clever informative popup messages automatically fading out after a few seconds or after completing the quests reflecting its state, scrollable - not taking up the entire display.”
- “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc. to the mobile app.”
- “There is no point to the story.”
- “If you cannot customize your character to allow you to feel like you are your character, or to feel like you are creating a story, then why do I, the player, want to play?”

- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
