- “The simplicity of form in Deity Quest manifests itself primarily in the visual sphere, which is reminiscent of the graphic beginnings of the Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest series.”

- “The game stays fresh, the levels are interesting, and the game mechanics, though tough to learn for me, are very well done.”
- “Given the frenetic nature of the gameplay, switching between the two available item bars and selecting spells by their image, not their title, can be confusing.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive and lacking in strategic depth, often feeling necessary to progress, especially in the early stages. While the monster-collecting and auto-battling elements provide some enjoyment, the limited activities between boss battles lead to a grind-heavy experience that can become tedious.
- “Repetitive, grindy, and lacking in strategy.”
- “While this could be sort of a weird gem—it's a monster-collecting auto-battler that's fun enough—it's very grindy, especially starting out, and it's got some serious bugs.”
- “Apart from the quest areas which are generally quite challenging albeit slightly repetitive, there isn't much to do other than looking for gilded chests and farming experience.”
