The grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention among players, with many describing it as both tedious and rewarding. While some enjoy the grind as a core element of the MMORPG experience, others find it excessively time-consuming, particularly due to inventory limitations and low drop rates for rare items. Overall, the game appeals to those who appreciate grinding, but it may frustrate players seeking a more balanced or less repetitive gameplay experience.
“Not too grindy as you can level up faster than other online games.”
“Overall great game, fun and isn't as grindy as similar games I've played before.”
“The enemy drop tables are poor, the drop rates themselves aren't great, it's very grindy, you're constantly starving for equipment at later levels, the health stat is utterly useless and unbalanced, they ask you to spend money on the game in chat every 20-30 minutes.”
“Grinding can get really boring, repetitive and extremely grindy.”
“Great game and all but at the later levels it becomes harder and harder to play because you level up slower and slower to the point it gets boring and you don't have any fun if the game was less grindy and more adventure then it could be better.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engaging content, with many players noting the absence of a clear narrative or meaningful quests. While some enjoy the grind and classic MMORPG mechanics, they express a desire for more structured quests, a storyline, and better quest tracking features to enhance the overall experience. Overall, the consensus is that the game would significantly benefit from the addition of a compelling story and more diverse quest options.
“This is exactly the kind of game I was looking for: an 8-bit game where you can gather resources, do quests to get a reward, and build your character up.”
“I would like to see story quests that bring players to finish the whole content, including killing all bosses.”
“But I wonder that the game would be much more exciting if it had some main storyline.”
“No story or good quests.”
“No storyline to speak of, content is sparse; you spend most of your time killing pallet-changed mobs.”
“There still isn't a story, the new update was just a goddamn chat bubble.”

The game's stability has received mixed feedback, with many players reporting significant bugs, glitches, and lag that disrupt gameplay, particularly in specific modes and during boss fights. While some users noted that they encountered no issues, the overall sentiment indicates that the game requires urgent fixes to improve stability and user experience.

“The controls are easy to learn, no glitches encountered.”
“I am a beta tester and so far the game is not that buggy.”
“No glitches.”
“The game is good but unfortunately it has bugs and lags that caused me to lose stuff. I would like to suggest fixing the chat as it glitches sometimes. Other bugs include lag and glitches that made me lose some of my items. The network connection is bad as well; some servers work better than others, which is an issue as well. Hopefully, they will fix this.”
“I will rate 5 stars once you fix all the bugs. For example, when I try to log into my account, it freezes, and whenever I was playing the game, it crashes. Please, developers, fix the bugs. Overall, your game is relaxing and I love it so much; please fix the bugs and then the game would be very beautiful.”
“I finished the tutorial and it asked me for my name. When I was going to type my chosen username, the input was very buggy. When I pressed a single letter, three random letters started to type. I don't know why, but that's my only problem. I can't get past this; I can't even confirm my username, so please fix this.”

The lively community and engaging mods contribute to the comedic atmosphere, while players share amusing anecdotes, such as farming grasshoppers for in-game currency.

The mods visit players and even play the games themselves, the creatures are hard enough to be fun to kill yet easy enough to actually beat. The sprites are precious and cute; I'm kinda annoyed at my settings not sticking much, but it's still a great game! :D”
“The best MMORPG ever! I gained 18 million by spending weeks farming grasshoppers, hahaha what a funny memory of mine.”
“Dope little MMORPG akin to the old school free browser MMORPGs. The community is lively and the mods are funny and cool.”
