The game's story is generally praised for its engaging narrative and character choices that impact gameplay, making it more immersive than many survival RPGs.

Overall, the graphics of the game receive high praise from users, with many describing them as "great," "awesome," and "top-notch."

“Amazing graphics, great animation, outstanding storyline and is an absolute must play.”
“The truth is I don't like the graphics; it's messy, not as clean as in other games. That is the weak part here, and also moving and doing actions feels weird.”
“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.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the graphics, combat mechanics, and crafting systems, while others criticize issues like item durability, energy management, and bugs that disrupt the experience. Some users find the gameplay engaging and addictive, noting its unique elements within the survival genre, while others express frustration over balance and technical problems that hinder enjoyment. Overall, the game offers a decent mix of familiar mechanics and unique features, but it struggles with certain gameplay imbalances and technical issues.
“Balanced crafting and building system, great combat mechanics.”

“I absolutely love the gameplay mechanics; the graphics are really good as well.”
“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.”

“I tried playing this on four phones, and all weren't able to due to intense lag spikes and freezes, which made the beautiful game become an uninstalled game.”

“I would love to play such grindy games.”

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 detracts from 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 graphics and gameplay, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction with the monetization practices and customer support.
“Great graphics but the usual microtransactions with the storage bag and energy limits.”
“Great game, no ads, not pay-to-win, no players raiding your hard work, great story.”
“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 another purchase would cause the previous one to load, but it hasn't, and I've lost out on quite a bit of money. I'm pretty upset about it.”
“Microtransactions are not fulfilled despite payment.”
