The story is criticized for its lack of depth and polish, with poorly written quest texts and simplistic missions that often lack context or guidance. Many players feel that the content is hastily assembled, resulting in a game that feels empty and unengaging, despite its humorous elements. Overall, the narrative experience is seen as underwhelming and lacking in meaningful engagement.
“It's very clearly made by a solo indie dev and some of the content looks very hastily slapped together, like quest texts having poor spelling and missing punctuation, or items not having any description. Even if it makes the game silly, it's harmless honestly.”
“Now that it's out, $13 is a lot for a game that is almost empty. Quests can be done in less than a minute, and the healer class just nukes everything. I kept all my legendaries from the demo, so I started off maxed out, and can't fly up to that giant platform in the sky. The only way to get really high is by ramming a dragon on a pyramid.”
“Horrid grammar and stupidly simple quests like 'go kill a wolf' or 'go kill quaf' with no information on where they are or why you are given such a bland mission.”

Players have expressed frustration with the lack of customizable graphic settings, particularly the inability to disable motion blur, which can cause discomfort. Additionally, the default graphics settings may lead to performance issues on lower-end hardware, impacting the overall gaming experience.
“Some of the game mechanics are a bit hard to understand and not explained at all, and I wish there were some graphic settings because turning off motion blur is something I always need to do or I get dizzy. With the default graphics, my laptop struggles to run the game smoothly.”

Gameplay is generally enjoyable and relaxing, especially in multiplayer settings, but some mechanics lack clear explanations, which can be frustrating. Additionally, the absence of graphic settings, such as the option to disable motion blur, may hinder performance on lower-end systems. Overall, players find value in the experience despite these issues.
“I don't feel like I wasted my money, because it's a lot of fun and relaxing gameplay, especially when friends join you, even in its current state.”

The game suffers from poor optimization, lacking dedicated servers and feeling like a disjointed collection of assets with incoherent quests.
“This game has no servers, no optimization, and is nothing but a few assets crammed together with some random text and nonsense quests.”
