The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it addictive and immersive, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking meaningful content. Many noted that the game can become boring after a certain point, with some mechanics feeling unnecessary and achievements requiring excessive grinding. However, innovations like combat and quests have been appreciated, suggesting potential for deeper engagement.
- “With a simple but addictive gameplay, this game will immerse us for many hours of entertainment and exploration.”
- “Very fun game, definitely recommend; that being said, it does kind of run out of gameplay after around 30 hours.”
- “This is more of the gameplay you got in Haste Miner 2, but with some innovations (combat, mining types, quests) and rebalancing (less idle gains, less overpowered treasure chests, less tedious prestiging).”
- “But worst of all is the wasted potential; there is nothing to do in it totally, boring as hell. Some of the mechanics are totally unnecessary, achievements are unsatisfying, and some are embarrassingly 'difficult' due to how much grind it takes to get them.”
- “The gameplay loop is too boring and repetitive, and despite being easily entertained, I was quickly bored.”
- “I personally like that the game requires active gameplay, but essentially, just like an idle game, it really devolves into AFK and watch numbers go up as you grind upgrades out.”

The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players appreciate the depth and improvements over previous titles, others find it excessively tedious and a slog, particularly due to the necessity of deep mining for progress. The game is enjoyable for those who favor grind-heavy experiences, but it may not appeal to players seeking a more streamlined or less repetitive gameplay. Overall, it offers a solid value for fans of the genre, despite its flaws.
- “Not idle, I was under the impression that it was... this is massively grindy in a bad way.”
- “The quotes around that previous word are very purpose-placed, and I am now reasonably suspicious the trailer cutting down the combat showcasing to just the beginning and end for the most part was intentional to avoid showcasing how huge a tedious slog many may find it.”
- “Artifacts only spawn in deep mines, so these are not just tedious bores, but also required to progress.”

The story is criticized for lacking motivation, as players feel little incentive to engage in combat or complete quests due to low rewards. Additionally, the repetitive enemy AI and drawn-out gameplay detract from the overall experience, making it feel tedious rather than engaging.
- “I found no actual reason to go fighting or completing quests since the earnings are very low.”
- “If this was a short jaunt that didn't overstay its welcome, then it would be innocuous; however, every last enemy in the massive bubble I had wrangled was every bit as hit spongey as a Valdis Story boss, and all their AI essentially boiled down to 'walk towards the player' with one having projectile capabilities.”
stability

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs affecting gameplay and user experience, such as graphical glitches and menu navigation problems. While the core gameplay is enjoyable, these technical flaws require urgent attention and bug fixing.
- “It's extremely buggy; other than that, it's good, but this needs a lot of bug fixing.”
- “Finally, to close out the disappointments, the game was also a bit buggy, with particles you can get as a customization option floating off the bounds of the menu when scrolling it. Additionally, ore blocks are transparent, showing all of the block breaking squares seemingly on the wrong plane, appearing behind things rather than to the sides or in front.”
