The story has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its humor and character development, particularly the unexpected growth of the main characters. However, many criticize the overall depth and coherence, describing it as bland or rushed, with poorly developed characters and disjointed plot elements. While the premise is intriguing, the execution leaves much to be desired, often prioritizing voice acting over a substantial narrative.
“I read all the negative reviews and therefore expected utter garbage, but at least the story was actually funny.”
“The story was great; I hated the two main characters at first, but there was great character development, so much that my favorite wasn't even who I expected it to be at first.”
“First off, having our main character as the reincarnation of Zeus was too funny, and having these two girls, Yui and Ryn, fight over you because of your 'destiny' to ascend to godhood and choose one of them adds a very interesting story instead of just having them fight over you because they want you.”
“The story feels bland for me.”
“The characters are barely formed at best, and actively unlikable at worst, and the plot logic is disorienting in its randomness.”
“It's a shame because the starting premise is pretty decent and some of the plot elements are kinda cool - overall it just feels rushed though.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its ability to set the mood and enhance the experience, particularly in menu screens and key moments. However, there are notable issues with the audio balance, as players report that background music often drowns out voice acting, making it difficult to hear dialogue. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, improvements in audio mixing are needed for a better experience.
“The music that plays at the menu screen is nice, the art is decent, and the adult patch is worth it.”
“Music sets the mood in certain situations and the artwork is absolutely beautiful.”
“It's been a while since I played a visual novel game. It was fun, but they need to fix the voices; they're so low while the background music is so high that I can barely hear them.”
“The music is loud and the voices are too quiet.”
“One thing Dharker does get right is the music and artwork.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with some players finding the story and character dynamics, particularly the reincarnation of Zeus and the rivalry between the demigoddesses, genuinely funny and engaging. However, others criticize the humor as inconsistent, with certain moments feeling more awkward than amusing, leading to a disjointed comedic experience. Overall, while there are standout funny moments, the humor may not resonate with everyone.
“I read all the negative reviews and therefore expected utter garbage, but at least the story was actually funny.”
“First off, having our main character as the reincarnation of Zeus was too funny, and having these two girls, Yui and Ryn, fight over you because of your 'destiny' to ascend to godhood and choose one of them adds a very interesting story instead of just having them fight over you because they want you.”
“Yui and Ryn are just too funny that you can't help but fall for them, as they continuously refer to you as their 'king,' which made me laugh a bunch.”

Character development is highlighted as a strong point, transforming initial dislike for the main characters into unexpected favorites by the end of the story. However, the character design itself is considered unremarkable.
“The story was great; I hated the two main characters at first, but there was such great character development that my favorite ended up being someone I didn't expect.”
“The character design is also mundane.”
“The characters lack depth and fail to evolve throughout the game.”
“I found the character arcs to be predictable and uninspired.”
