    The story of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its premise but criticizing its execution. Common complaints include a lack of depth, rushed narrative, and the requirement to pay for additional content, which detracts from the overall experience. While some players enjoyed the graphics and gameplay, they felt the story was not as engaging or well-developed as in previous installments of the series.

    • “I really liked this game's series and the whole story itself.”
    • “I enjoyed 1 and 2 a lot, I think this one has nice puzzles and storytelling :)”
    • “This game has a unique story and decent graphics; the sequel to this, Epic 2, is way better than this. Please update it fast because we are in a pandemic <3 I love the series.”
    • “The controls are specific and slow, the story is sloppily thrown together, and you can't skip text or cutscenes, making the game feel slow and boring.”
    • “The graphics and puzzles are great but I feel that the story was really rushed with the bad guy only existing for a few levels.”
    • “It's bad because you have to pay to play more of the story.”
  • graphics39 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the improved cartoonish and detailed visuals compared to previous installments, while others express disappointment, feeling they lack the charm of earlier versions. Some users highlight the fun of character creation and the overall aesthetic appeal, but there are complaints about bugs and the need for graphic settings to accommodate different device capabilities. Overall, the graphics are generally regarded as a strong point, though opinions vary on their execution and impact on gameplay.

    • “The graphics are amazing, and I find it so fun that you're able to create your own characters!”
    • “I love how the cartoonish and 3D graphics look!”
    • “Mind-blowing graphics, mind-blowing game.”
    • “The graphics are bad unlike the 2nd game.”
    • “It is all rubbish graphics and if I could grade this out of ten it's about -700000. I highly doubt buying this game and don't request it.”
    • “There's just something about it, it really is umm.. too detailed, the simpler art-style of 2 was very charming, and seeing it become more complex?”
  • monetization33 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to excessive ads and mandatory in-app purchases to access additional levels. While some appreciate the option to unlock content through gameplay, the overwhelming presence of advertisements and the requirement to pay for a full experience have left many feeling frustrated and disappointed compared to earlier installments. Overall, players are calling for a more balanced approach, such as a premium version with fewer ads.

    • “So I went for a first play, it was overall good. I would pay for in-app purchases and stuff, but the problem is that it lags a lot, and when I go offline, it wouldn't go through since it needs an internet connection. I like the sequel and the first game because they're offline; I wish you could do something to make the game offline and ready to play on the go without internet.”
    • “Fun, but there are again in-app purchases.”
    • “The game already has a lot of ads, but then you have to pay to play it after the 2nd level. You guys should have just made the game free and had ads, and maybe you need to pay to draw multiple items or to get more colors, just like Epic 2 and 1.”
    • “It's a good game, but now it's just a cash grab. You only get to play 2 levels before you have to buy the rest. This game is nothing but a cash grab.”
    • “Too many ads, doesn't let you even play the game without spending 6 dollars.”
  • stability25 mentions

While the game has its enjoyable elements, the overwhelming number of technical problems has led to a generally negative perception regarding its stability.

    • “The game is so buggy, it's impossible to play.”
    • “I was okay with the lags and random freezes sometimes but it's not even playable past the load screen; it just stays at 100%.”
    • “I used to play Draw a Stickman Hero free as a little kid and thought maybe this would be an improved version, but every time I open the game after I press start, it takes me to the loading screen then just freezes. If I touch anything, the game crashes, so I can't play. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times, and every time the same thing happens: load, start, freeze.”
