The game features a rich background steeped in Cthulhu, sci-fi, and various mythologies, but many players feel the actual story underutilizes this potential, resulting in a repetitive and shallow narrative. While the story mode offers some enjoyment and serves as a means to unlock additional content, it is often described as slow, tedious, and filled with uninspired dialogue, leading to a lack of engagement. Overall, while the game may appeal to card game enthusiasts, its story is considered lackluster and not a primary draw.
- “The game has a very rich story background setting, including Cthulhu, sci-fi, and different mythologies.”
- “Not only are there tons of modes for single player replayability, but the storylines are awesome (paranormal sci-fi fantasy).”
- “There is a beautiful main story with world sightseeing.”
- “The story mode is slow and tedious.”
- “You have to sit through far too much excuse plot for a game that basically amounts to pantomiming out exploration over a single still image of background before being told to fight another mook-slaughtering battle.”
- “I wish I could be bothered, but I honestly just don't care enough to want to slog through the boring story mode filled with its (appropriately) paper-thin cardboard cutout characters and excuse plots.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their high quality, particularly the card artwork, which is described as "awesome" and "top notch," especially for fans of anime-influenced styles.

While the game features impressive animations for each card, some players feel that the graphical assets are underutilized due to subpar gameplay mechanics.

- “The battle mechanics are addictive, and the artwork on the cards is top-notch.”
- “If you like this genre, you'll enjoy the game. It's quite tough once you go deep, but it's worth playing because the artwork is brilliant.”

The game is heavily focused on grinding, particularly for card collection and leveling up, which some players find tedious and slow, especially in story mode. While the initial chapters can be completed easily, the difficulty spikes significantly in later levels, necessitating extensive grinding to progress. This grindy aspect can be appealing for some, offering a therapeutic escape, but may deter others who prefer a more balanced gameplay experience.
- “The story mode is slow and tedious.”
- “It's just as well, by the time you get to level 40 of a dungeon, the boss monsters suddenly spike in difficulty from pushovers you can kill on a starter deck to suddenly having cards with stats 10 times higher than yours, and it's impossible to go further without tons of grinding.”
- “Grindy - it feels like it was made for a phone or something; the dungeon is the best example of this. You spam click explore and get small amounts of experience and gold, you level up kind of quickly, but the problem is each level is about 20 extra HP and each floor the enemies seem to jump about 1k in health.”

Eternal Destiny is praised for its complete absence of microtransactions, setting it apart from typical pay-to-win mobile games. Reviewers commend the game for providing a rich and enjoyable experience without the burden of in-app purchases, highlighting its content and design as a refreshing alternative in the collectible card game genre.
- “A charming CCG with no microtransactions and plenty of content.”
- “Eternal Destiny is a giant middle finger to all those crappy pay-to-win mobile games loaded with ridiculous in-app purchases.”
- “This 'pay-to-win game' in sheep's clothing (the one brutal fact that the game has no microtransactions) deserves more than it gets credit for because whoever the creator of this game is was no less of a genius to conceptualize another dumb pay-to-win mobile game you see on the next guy's phone, except stripping all the in-app purchases and making the entire experience of being rich with the best cards into a playable game in and of itself.”
- “Eternal Destiny is a very fun collectible card game, notable for lacking any kind of microtransactions.”

- “Hilarious animation.”
- “If you want a game with some solid hours and funny animation, this does the job, but all the negatives will probably bog you down, in which case I recommend it for maybe 2-3 bucks.”
