The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with many players noting that there is virtually no narrative to engage with beyond a brief tutorial. While the gameplay offers a plethora of missions and challenges, the absence of a compelling storyline detracts from the overall experience, leaving players feeling that the adventure is more about grinding through missions than following a meaningful plot. Despite this, some players find enjoyment in the character interactions and the variety of quests available, even if the main story is minimal.
“Though this game has very little storyline, as you’re progressing, you do really feel like you’re on a never-ending adventure, exploring unknown places.”
“The characters are amusing, the amount of magic and skills you can use is rather large and there are plenty of quests and side-quests to keep you occupied, even if the main story isn't very short.”
“The story is nothing special but it's good enough.”
“There is no real story to this game.”
“Especially the ones that mention the story: there is literally no story in the current version.”
“There is an extremely short and confusing tutorial with one character ('Hi, I'm a goddess of something, click here and there to kill stuff'), and after completing it you won't see a single line of story.”

The gameplay is a mix of classic mechanics reminiscent of games like Bejeweled and Puzzle & Dragons, featuring smooth controls and appealing graphics.

“So far the environment is cool, monsters are cool... gameplay is smooth... a lot of data to wrap my head around, lots of monsters, unique skills, a lot of strategizing.”
“This game combines several common mechanics of mobile games, and does it poorly.”
“Battle mechanic is poorly done and poorly explained.”
“Game mechanics barely exist.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while the leveling and skill system is well-designed and offers a better-than-average grinding experience, the lack of card sorting makes non-battle activities tedious. The need to grind extensively to maximize levels and acquire resources, such as diamonds for summoning, adds to the overall grindiness of the game.
“There is no ability to sort the cards, so any activity outside battles becomes tedious.”
“Given the amount of characters and skills, this forces a lot of tedious grinding to max out levels.”
“Now I’m grinding to beat these dragons so that I can progress.”

The game's stability is severely criticized due to frequent movement glitches that cause gems to uncontrollably jump around, accompanied by an unbearable and repetitive loud sound effect, leading to a frustrating and painful experience for players.
“It's physically painful to move gems around (mostly because you'll be bleeding from your ears - when the movement glitches and gems start to jump around like crazy, the game starts playing extremely loud sound at the rate of about 20 times per second).”
