The story in Domo is often described as outdated and poorly translated, which detracts from the overall experience and immersion.

Despite these issues, some players appreciate the community aspect and the charm of the narrative, suggesting that the game may appeal to those who prioritize story over graphics.
- “The game has lore; I know most of us don't care about the story, but it's there if anybody wants to check it out.”
- “It's a really lovely game if you enjoy somewhat simple graphics, but a good storyline!”
- “Once upon a time... a game was made with an actual plot and storyline.”
- “The story is a product of its time, quickly written and thrown in just for the sake of saying it has one.”
- “It's nice to see untranslated names of characters and even a region, but there's no excuse for main story dialogue not being properly taken care of - it takes away from the humor and charm and disrupts immersion.”
- “The main quest is a little obscure in how it has you go about, and you need to grind in between just one part of a quest to the next.”

The gameplay of the game is often described as outdated and generic, with many players noting its reliance on traditional MMO mechanics such as questing and combat. While some appreciate the unique class system and nostalgic elements, others find the camera controls frustrating and the overall experience lacking in innovation. Despite its flaws, the game can still be enjoyable for those who appreciate its old-school charm and community aspects.
- “The gameplay and class systems are cool.”
- “Gameplay is unique and fun yet very frustrating; the class system is awesome. Your character is every class, and you should rank all of them up because you can multiclass a pair of the others as subclasses.”
- “Well, it is an outdated game and has its problems, but honestly, I played this game a while ago and it was fun. You can change class almost like in Final Fantasy IV, which is always a good thing. I love the pet system and the nostalgia that games give to me. Playing an 'old school' MMO from time to time doesn't hurt anyone; I'm going to play it occasionally because of nostalgia. It was my favorite MMORPG back then, even if it wasn't the best; it was free-to-play with cool gameplay for me.”
- “I revisited Domo recently to check for any changes or updates, but unfortunately, the gameplay remains largely the same, and it's currently not in great shape.”
- “The graphics and gameplay are very outdated, considering the game itself is about 12 years old now.”
- “And the gameplay consists of near nothing but quests containing 'kill this thing until you're ready to get the quest where you kill its palette-swaps.'”
grinding

The grinding aspect of the game is a significant focus, with many players noting it can be excessively time-consuming, especially at higher levels, often requiring repetitive tasks like farming and mob grinding. While some enjoy the social interaction and unique class mechanics that accompany the grind, others find it tedious and frustrating, particularly due to a lack of meaningful rewards and a challenging economy. Overall, the game appeals to those who appreciate a traditional, grind-heavy MMORPG experience, but may deter players seeking a more streamlined or quest-focused progression.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “The game is extremely grindy; almost every quest you do for leveling requires you to kill multiples of ten of a certain monster, and the number increases the farther you go in the game.”
- “Leveling up sucks because grinding the monsters takes a heck of a lot of time for such low experience; even Ragnarok Online offers better grinding than this game.”
- “The lack of experience from quests renders our level progression quite coarse, forcing our hand into grinding.”

- “If they added some nice cheerful music in the background, I would probably like it a lot more.”
- “Then, there is a music loop of very... unatmospheric music.”
- “The fact that there's not even background music is boring.”
- “Even after the music is turned on, it's still kinda wonky, and doesn't loop very often, so you'll have a thirty-second period of music, then another few minutes of silence (not counting the attacking sound effects).”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the cute graphics, funny dialogue, and hilarious cutscenes, others find the humor to be bland and feel that poorly translated main story dialogue detracts from the overall charm and immersion.

Overall, it offers a blend of humor that resonates with some but falls flat for others.
- “I love playing this game; it makes me think about my childish side, haha! This game is very unique and funny.”
