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, aside from a brief and confusing tutorial. While the gameplay offers a plethora of missions and challenges, the absence of a compelling storyline detracts from the overall experience, leaving players to focus more on mechanics than on any meaningful plot. Despite this, some find enjoyment in the endless quests and character interactions, suggesting that the game can still be fun for those who prioritize gameplay over story.
“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.”
“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.”
“There is no real story to this game.”
“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.”

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 and the necessity to grind extensively for resources and character levels can make the process feel tedious.
“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 compromised, with frequent movement glitches causing gems to uncontrollably jump around, accompanied by an unbearable and repetitive loud sound that can be physically distressing 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 an extremely loud sound at a rate of about 20 times per second.”
