“Too big for 2GB RAM... required on this game is 4GB to 6GB RAM... it's too laggy to play because of large graphics. I already set the graphics to low, and it's not enough.”
“Graphics very bad, do something.”

Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of positive and negative experiences. Many players appreciate the fluid combat mechanics, engaging crafting systems, and unique graphics, noting that the game offers a blend of ARPG and survival elements. However, issues such as item durability, energy management, and bugs affecting performance have led to frustration, with some players feeling that these problems detract from an otherwise enjoyable experience.
“Balanced crafting and building system, great combat mechanics.”
“The core gameplay is a mix between ARPGs like Diablo and survival crafters - battle mechanics are fluid and fast-paced, and there are RPG elements like stats and skills for progression.”
“All my other games are on hold because I can't put this game down... from graphics to the story... on to the actual gameplay... it is by far the most exciting game.”
“Lacking balance between gameplay and annoyance.”
“You're given a tiny bag; items have incredibly low durability (in terms of lasting gameplay) and to top it off, you have to constantly consume food and water.”
“Stuck at loading screen, and has the worst mechanics in gaming, the combination of needs of energy to travel across the map and item durability decrease faster.”

Reviews indicate that while some players enjoy the grinding aspect as a core RPG element, many find it excessively tedious and repetitive, with insufficient rewards for the effort invested. Issues such as quick item degradation, limited inventory space, and inadequate resource drops contribute to a frustrating experience.

“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.”
