Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of positive and negative experiences.

- “I would love to play such grindy games.”
- “Grinding takes far too long to do anything and items break too quickly.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, with users reporting issues such as unfulfilled in-app purchases, intrusive ads, and a perceived cash grab mentality that hampers gameplay enjoyment. Many players express frustration over losing progress and items due to the game's mechanics, which often push them towards spending more money. While some appreciate the absence of aggressive pay-to-win elements, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction with the monetization practices and customer support.
- “Great game, no ads, not pay-to-win, and no players raiding your hard work. Great story!”
- “Great graphics but the usual microtransactions with the storage bag and energy limits.”
- “Very nice game but although I can make in-app purchases, I don't actually receive anything I've paid for.”
- “Can die and lose everything from being AFK in your own castle. Let's not forget you can't even get through a single area without ending up naked before you leave, and there's no chance you get enough rest before you're done to replace the gear you lost. Just another cash grab app looking for money and removing the ability to play or enjoy the game without paying massive amounts of money.”
- “I love the game, but I spend a lot of money on in-game purchases. Recently, every time I try to buy gems from the store, the game takes my money and the purchase is successful, but I never actually received my purchase. I've tried multiple times thinking maybe if I try another purchase it will cause the previous purchase to load, but it hasn't, and I've lost out on quite a bit of money. I'm pretty upset about this.”
- “Microtransactions are not fulfilled despite payment.”
