Overall, the story is often described as generic or non-existent, leading to a sense of boredom and frustration among users.

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting its reliance on auto-play mechanics that detract from engagement and skill. While some appreciate the graphics and character customization options, others criticize the gameplay as repetitive, laggy, and lacking depth, often feeling more like a tutorial than a fully realized experience. Overall, the game shows potential but suffers from optimization issues and a lack of meaningful interaction.
“I've really enjoyed playing this game; the game mechanics, the story, the quests, all of them work together. You can upgrade multiple things, from gear to mounts, pets, ornaments, and more. The progression was really fun and easy, and this game can be enjoyable and played without paying a single cent. Honestly, if I would spend some money on this game, I wouldn't regret it, because that way I'll be supporting the developers!”
“The game has beautiful graphics, fast gameplay, and a fair leveling system.”
“It's a very enjoyable experience with an interesting story and gameplay.”
“The gameplay is horrible, horrendous graphics, and it is not a true action MMORPG game.”
“There isn't much gameplay; the game plays itself.”

The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with many users labeling it a "cash grab" due to the overwhelming presence of in-app purchases and pay-to-win features. Players express frustration over misleading advertisements that promise extensive customization and gameplay depth, only to reveal a focus on monetization and excessive ads. Overall, the game is seen as prioritizing profit over player experience, leading to a negative reception regarding its financial model.
“It's a fine game, but if you want to become stronger eventually, you have to make in-game purchases.”
“Without in-game purchases, you aren't going to grow much; I played for 2 months continuously, so I know.”
“Put more effort into adding events without microtransactions, even though this is a pay-to-win game.”
“It's a cash grab though, everything is spending or topping up crazy amounts.”
“The game is a massive cash grab and is like a budget version of Dragon Raja.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive and tedious, often requiring significant time investment for minimal rewards, particularly in boss fights where gear drops are limited and competitive. While some appreciate the auto-battle feature for easing the grind, many express frustration over the necessity of spending money to progress faster and the lack of benefits for free-to-play players. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a major drawback, detracting from the enjoyment of the game.
“Repeated boring grinding is another issue.”
“Fun for a couple of days, then it becomes boring to spend hours a day grinding bosses for 1 piece of gear per boss (some don't drop any usable and if multiple players hit the boss, usable gear only goes to 1st place in damage) and you need 16 pieces to get max gear and there are 6 pieces of gear that you upgrade in this way (after t6)... you also need an active clan to exchange gear between sexes.”
“And there are not many privileges for free-to-play players; all you have to do is top up, which becomes necessary. There are many free-to-play players grinding so hard to increase power every day with no privileges.”

“Hearing the parts where something was voiced by the voice actors always cracks me up because it lowkey sounds funny.”
