The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its engaging and well-designed narrative, particularly in Season One, which is noted for its emotional depth and character development. However, Season Two has been criticized for its simplicity and lack of engagement, leading to a sense of stagnation as players often find themselves grinding for levels rather than progressing through the story. While the graphics and voice acting are generally well-received, some players express frustration over the linearity of the plot and the frequent resets that hinder long-term engagement with the storyline.
“The storyline for the main quest is well designed.”
“Great story, great characters, great gameplay, and very addicting.”
“The story is immersive, the gameplay is pretty simple.”
“The seasonal story isn't working for the game at all, especially since the story is about the game's main antagonist (the child of chaos) and the silent gods.”
“You spend more time farming than actually progressing through the story.”
“The game resets every 90 days, wiping all that is significant about your progress (story, gear, artifacts, character level) so that you start from scratch again.”

Overall, the graphics of the game are widely praised, with many users highlighting their stunning quality and attention to detail, often comparing them to console-level visuals. While some players experienced performance issues on older devices, the majority found the graphics to be a standout feature that enhances the overall gaming experience. However, a few reviews noted that despite the impressive visuals, the gameplay and story elements could be lacking or frustrating at times.
“The graphics are amazing.”
“The attention to detail with the artwork is simply mind-blowing.”
“The graphics are phenomenal, character modeling and animation is flawless, storyline is immersive and captivating.”
“The low quality 2D graphics in this game would have been a hit, but in 2003, I deleted it after a short 5 minutes from downloading it.”
“Game lags terribly on my 2019 Android phone, filling all my phone memory to the max quite quickly - even on 'very low' graphics - so I had to uninstall it after passing through 'fogtown'.”
“For anyone reading this, I don't recommend playing it at all, it's not optimized, the game is only for pay-to-win since it's way harder to get a single legendary in this game than in all other gacha games.”

“Great story, great characters, great gameplay, and very addicting.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive time required to progress, particularly after seasonal resets that erase hard-earned progress. Many reviewers noted that the lack of effective automation and the repetitive nature of grinding for levels, gear, and materials leads to a tedious experience, often feeling like a chore rather than an engaging gameplay element. While some players appreciate the grind in theory, the overwhelming consensus is that it becomes monotonous and discouraging, especially for free-to-play users who feel pressured to spend money to keep up.
“If only the game had a full auto-combat mode allowing you to skip the tedious grind... which gets even more tedious with every progress reset when a new season starts and you have to do the same content from zero.”
“After a month of playing, I've decided to leave the game since it gets too repetitive and too much grinding is involved just to max level a hero.”
“You will never get to end game content without spending a lot of money and time grinding.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players feeling that it leans towards a cash grab, particularly due to high in-game purchase prices and a lack of promised character customization. While some appreciate the absence of invasive ads and find the monetization not overly aggressive, others express frustration over the necessity of microtransactions for progression and the misleading advertising that initially attracted them. Overall, players are wary of the monetization strategy, hoping it won't become a burden as they progress.
“Don't have to watch any ads or nonsense, which I appreciate.”
“There are in-game purchases, but not really a necessity in order to progress and enjoy the game.”
“So far, I haven't seen any aggressive marketing schemes, nor any obligatory microtransactions.”
“After the first season though, it seems like a cash grab.”
“I shouldn't be forced to shell out triple-A game prices for a few hours of continued gameplay or some benefit that will only last me until the end of the season... when they reset everyone, which is an even more obvious cash grab than any other mobile game I've seen.”
“Feels like a quick cash grab.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many praising its quality and immersive nature, describing it as delightful and superb. However, some users express frustration over the inability to adjust volume settings, issues with audio crashing, and a desire for a more dynamic soundtrack.

“The background music is nice and the voices are pretty good.”
“The music in this game is delightful to listen to and it's one of my favourite aspects of playing.”
“I absolutely love the game, the graphics, music and voicing are all great.”
“Not to mention the music is way too loud, and there is no setting to lower it.”
“Audio background music was crashing every 16 to 20 seconds apart, and it hurt my ears at the first static.”
“The soundtrack lets it down a bit; I expect to wait a while after initial installation, and once installed, there's over 1GB to download.”

Character development in the game is generally praised for its user-friendly approach, allowing players to customize their squads according to personal preferences. While the character designs and animations are highlighted as high-quality and visually appealing, some players feel that the storyline lacks depth, which can hinder the overall character development experience. Overall, the game features impressive graphics and voice acting, but there are calls for more extensive character customization options.
“Character development - it's user-friendly and allows you to play like you want to, meaning run a squad to your liking.”
“Absolutely love the game so far, I would like to see more characterisation options because you can't do a lot with the character design but they're good overall.”
“Very dark and engaging storyline and character development.”
“Again, not fun. The storyline is pretty lame; the graphics and character design are pretty cool. However, after 65 days of daily play, I cannot and would not recommend it at all.”
“Well-written dialogue and story with nice voiceovers, but it's too slow, melodramatic, and inadvertently bottlenecks character development and initial gameplay.”

Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag, with many users reporting performance issues, particularly on older devices, leading to overheating and lag. While some players with newer phones experience smooth gameplay, others criticize the lack of graphical upgrades and excessive battery consumption. Improvements in quality of life features and general optimization are needed to enhance the gaming experience for a broader audience.
“From the art design, music, graphics, and optimization.”
“The game is very epic; it said my performance would be lowered since my phone's model, but I have no problem. It still shows the amazing art that it has and a good story with good voiceovers. I'm very happy with it. If you like mythical exploring games, this is for you. Good job, devs!”
“Graphics, audio, and performance are solid but not groundbreaking.”
“I'm giving it two stars because it is not optimized and my device overheats just by playing for 15-20 minutes (it has very good specs).”
“For anyone reading this, I don't recommend playing it at all, it's not optimized. The game is only for pay-to-win since it's way harder to get a single legendary in this game than in any other gacha games. This game depends on what phone you use; if it's newer or recent, then you can play without lag, but if it's older, you won't be able to play well at all even on the lowest graphics, and you can't enable 60fps either, which is frustrating. If you're rich, then you can play, but the story is boring either way.”
“QOL optimization is bad, too many clicks.”

The game's stability is a significant concern, with users reporting frequent crashes and freezes, particularly during critical moments like battles and updates. Many players experience glitches that disrupt gameplay, leading to frustrating interactions with tech support. While some users note good graphics and minimal bugs, the overall consensus highlights a need for urgent improvements to stability to prevent device issues.
“Buggy occasionally, you'll finish a summon event and won't get the character. I had to play email tag with tech support several times, answering the same questions over and over until I missed a day and they sent me a 'no reply problem considered solved'.”
“Crashes and freezes more than any game I've ever played on Android.”
“But the game often just completely crashes and freezes my device, and this is a very big problem that could actually break devices, so please fix.”

However, some reviewers noted that while the overall ambiance is impressive, the individual character designs can be forgettable, and the user interface may detract from the experience. Overall, the combination of visuals, sound, and storytelling contributes to a strong atmospheric presence.
“It is simply gorgeous; the animations and character designs are immaculate. The atmosphere in the general areas and terrains, plus the music, are just perfect.”
“The game is amazing; the graphics are great, and the overall atmosphere and D&D influence are just superb.”
“From the cutscenes, the voice acting is also good, the immersive atmosphere, the visuals, and the diverse characters.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by the developers' witty responses to player complaints, which some find amusing despite the serious nature of the issues raised. However, the overall sentiment suggests that the humor may stem from frustration with the game's free-to-play model rather than intentional comedic elements.
“The developers' response was just hilarious, and to answer them, no, all the stuff you get from spending is reset.”
“You'll get nothing other than the leftover scraps after everyone ate their share, lol!”
“The humor feels forced and often falls flat, making it more cringeworthy than funny.”
“I expected a lot more laughs, but the jokes are stale and predictable.”
“The attempts at humor are so over-the-top that they become annoying rather than entertaining.”
