The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many users praising their quality and aesthetic appeal. However, some players noted issues with repetitiveness, basic animations, and a lack of interactivity during battles, which detracted from the overall experience. While the visuals are often described as beautiful and engaging, there are calls for improvements in battle graphics and responsiveness.
“The graphics are top notch.”
“Overall a very interesting and entertaining game, great graphics.”
“The game has beautiful graphics and I love the addicting hero collection and development, crafting and upgrading the equipment.”
“The game's graphics are quite basic and the interface feels a little unresponsive at times.”
“This is like a really poorly made art of conquest, but way more boring and generic... I just think if you're going to make a game that's already been done, then you'd better make it better. This is what the game would have been like if it came out 5 years ago, just generic graphics almost like games when they first came out on phones, but now phones are way more capable and the games should show that.”
“Graphics can be hard to see on a phone as they are quite small.”

The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and lacking depth, with many players noting that it feels more like a series of objectives leading to battles rather than a cohesive narrative.

Overall, there is a strong desire for a more developed storyline and meaningful choices that impact gameplay.
“The storyline is good, the action in the fight sequences is exciting.”
“It's a fun adventure game; the more you play, the more you get immersed into the story and adventure, not just a hack and slash.”

“There is absolutely no story, just a series of objectives pointing you toward the next fight...with a button to get you there automatically.”

“The storyline is boring.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and often tedious, particularly at higher levels where progression can feel slow and repetitive. While some enjoy the grind as a fun time-waster, many express frustration over the limitations on resource farming and the pressure to spend money to advance more quickly. Overall, the consensus is that while the game offers enjoyable elements, the grinding can become a significant barrier to sustained engagement.
“I have been playing this game for over a year; it has great graphics, heaps to do, but it's not tedious.”
“The grinding in this game feels rewarding and keeps me engaged for hours.”

“Very grindy, unless you are willing to spend serious money (tens of thousands of dollars).”
