- “The story descriptions use asterisks instead of actual descriptions of events, the plot is pretty generic, and there's a bit too much grinding for my taste.”

The monetization model of the game is largely praised for being non-intrusive and player-friendly, with no forced ads and optional ad viewing that rewards players with in-game benefits. Users appreciate the absence of a pay-to-win structure, noting that all items can be earned through gameplay, while in-app purchases are available but not necessary. Overall, the game is seen as a refreshing alternative in the mobile gaming landscape, allowing players to enjoy the experience without aggressive monetization tactics.
- “Totally not required to use real money just to get the good gears in-game, though if you choose to support the devs, there are in-app purchases for it to do just that.”
- “There is in-game purchase, but not really necessary because the dev is so generous with rewards and money.”
- “100% free to play, no ads unless you want them, easy to progress all the way without spending a penny, and plays well on all my devices.”
- “Graphics so bad it's looking like garbage, cloud save doesn't work like the developers' brains, you can't get your prize in the daily chest even if you finished the ads. Also, I didn't get my rubies in the trophies I leveled up Zerav to 50 and claimed my 500 ruby prize I should expect, but when I play the game again my 500 rubies are gone; they just vanished like a bubble. This game sucks, you shouldn't play it; it would just make you rage.”
- “It's sad to see that your very first game abandoned like this. With the release of EC2, I was hoping for a remaster since the grammar wasn't perfect and it's littered with bugs. Sometimes it would forget that I already redeemed the coupon, and the experience and loot boost by watching ads would just stop working. You watch an ad only to find that there is no 15 minutes of experience and loot boost.”
- “While playing the game, I recommend watching the ads as it gives support to the devs and gives you more loot! However, it's completely free: there's no paywall, all items can be acquired by grinding or luck, and ads are optional.”

- “The grind is engaging and keeps me motivated to explore more of the game.”
- “Great game, but gameplay gets really repetitive later on in the game when grinding for experience, gold, and items.”
- “Good at the start but gets extremely grindy towards the end. I know it is an RPG, but most RPGs don't take days to have any progress at all.”
- “However, the only drawback is the grinding system which will have you grinding for a very long time before you finish the entire game, hoping to see some pace balancing for it.”
