The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over unresponsive controls, excessive auto-play mechanics, and poor optimization leading to lag and crashes. While some appreciate the nostalgic graphics and decent mechanics, the overall experience is often described as generic and lacking depth, with many players feeling that it does not live up to the standards of other MMOs. Overall, the game shows potential but requires significant improvements in gameplay mechanics and performance to enhance player engagement.
“Kinda like the graphics and all, skills and mechanics are also good enough.”
“Gameplay is nice.”
“This game has so much potential but the mechanics are insane... first the auto attack skills (tactics) are different from the skill bar.”
“Unfortunately, the gameplay feels unresponsive and the initial NPC interactions just don't grab my attention.”
“The graphics are great, but the auto questing seems to ruin the gameplay.”
“This is so disappointing; the combat mechanics and auto questing ruin everything.”

The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players reporting severe lag, stuttering, and graphical issues across various devices, including high-end models. Many users express frustration over the game's performance, suggesting that it is not well-suited for mobile platforms and requires significant updates to improve stability and responsiveness. Overall, the consensus is that without substantial optimization efforts from the developers, the game remains unplayable for many.
“The game is pretty good... at least in this game, dodging and shielding is manual, so it's an improvement from older Asobimo MMORPGs. The game only needs performance improvement that I think affects everything in the game.”
“With a little bit of optimization, the game could have been amazing and you could have saved a lot of money with the R&D.”
“This game has potential; I'm going to come back when the dev team has optimized it.”
“I think the overall performance of the game might be a bit much for mobile/handheld devices to handle.”
“Had to uninstall because the game isn't optimized; it causes my phone to overheat to the point that it burns to touch.”
“From the instability of the graphics, the awful lag, and the constant stuttering, this game has not been properly optimized and I've got an S22 Ultra, so there's no excuse.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes, severe lag, and graphical glitches that render it nearly unplayable. Many players experience freezing during gameplay, particularly when adjusting graphics settings, and encounter various audio issues and visual anomalies, such as missing textures and distorted colors. Overall, the game is deemed too buggy and unstable, leading to a poor user experience.
“Crash, lagging buggy as soon as I've gone through the tedious download process. Now I get to play, but if you change graphics settings, it gets laggier the higher you go. My phone should be able to handle high graphics, yet the game crashes when I was using the menus in-game.”
“Personally too buggy to consider playable. If you minimize out of the game for a moment and then enter back in, the audio is completely gone (which is a common bug for Asobimo games). Graphical glitches such as hair being turned into a blinding pink color (also common), and despite the extremely low graphics quality, the game loses frames really easily when I can play higher spec games on higher graphics with no frame drops at all.”
“Game freezes and crashes after character creation.”

Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game, with some finding it tedious and time-consuming, particularly due to lengthy dialogues and manual questing. While the game offers unique jobs and an interesting world, many users express a desire for more automation to alleviate the grind, especially in resource gathering and combat. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a significant factor that can detract from enjoyment, despite some appreciating the free-to-play elements and crafting opportunities.
“I actually wish there was an auto feature so I didn't have to watch tedious/boring conversations and quests.”
“Most tedious start to a new game I've tried in years!”
“Usual large download, followed by hours of system maintenance, all endured patiently only to find a really tedious start to the game even when trying to skip dialogues to make it faster, even found a quest that it wouldn't let me complete.”

The reviews highlight a strong appreciation for the character designs, noting their beauty and artistic quality, reminiscent of Final Fantasy.

“Beautiful environment and character designs from one of my favorite artists.”
“The character design helped to raise my rating by 1 star.”
“The only thing I like is the character design, and that's all.”
“It's still very glitchy and laggy; I couldn't see my character in character design, it was all bright pink... and it said I had mail but there was nothing in it, so I'll try again in a few months.”
“Wasted all that data for nothing; I can't even do character design without it glitching and kicking me out.”
“The character design helped to raise 1 star.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a cash grab, with many players feeling it leans heavily towards pay-to-win mechanics. Despite having potential, the game is seen as unoriginal and fails to learn from the backlash faced by similar titles, leading to frustration among users.
“After I saw how much of a nightmare the menu was, I can already feel how much of a cash grab and pay-to-win this game is.”
“You'd think they'd learn from the backlash that Diablo Immortal received, but they've gone ahead and used similarly egregious monetization tactics.”
“Game doesn't offer anything new; instead, it copies other cash grab games.”

The humor in the game is noted for its amusing animations, particularly the gunner's, and the irony of its ranking, which contrasts with its claim of being a top free role-playing game. Overall, players find the humor to be a mix of lightheartedness and playful sarcasm.
“The gunner animation looks funny though.”
“The funny thing is it says top 6 in free role playing, but they're ranked at 268. Come on!”
