- “The game looks fine graphic-wise, but there are several things that bother me, such as controls, the inventory system, and targeting enemies.”

- “The graphics are okay for the style the devs are going for.”

- “It also has terrible dialogue and extremely dated and obfuscating visuals.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users finding it below average due to poor graphics, significant lag, and confusing mechanics that lead to a boring experience. However, some players appreciate the nostalgic RPG elements and the extensive main campaign, suggesting it can provide hours of entertainment despite its flaws. Overall, the gameplay feels unpolished and lacks engaging mechanics, leaving players divided on its value.
- “Lastly, it's impressive as it looks like the whole game was mostly built by one guy. Definitely a must-play if you're looking for a fun little bit of RPG nostalgia to kill a few hours. I mean, it's got like 40+ hours of gameplay in the main campaign easy, so maybe more than a few if you really dive in and explore the worlds.”
- “Really bad graphics, such bad lag it's unplayable, mechanics are confusing, and gameplay is boring. Don't waste your time.”
- “A little boring, mechanics are very strange and old-school. It gives you the feeling like... what is the purpose of this game?”
- “I feel like the author is attempting to create a different mechanic in fighting, but currently it's just a matter of holding spacebar, which is meh.”

- “If you're not a native English speaker, I suggest you get someone qualified to translate the text for your NPCs/storyline to make it more captivating and encourage players to continue exploring the story. If English is your first and only language, then I recommend educating yourself a bit in punctuation, grammar, and spelling.”
