The game's story is generally described as linear and predictable, with many reviewers noting it lacks depth and originality, often serving merely as a backdrop for the adult content. While some players found the narrative engaging enough to keep their interest, others criticized it for being bland and repetitive, with a few mentioning problematic themes. Overall, the story is seen as a mixed bag, appealing primarily to those focused on the erotic elements rather than a compelling plot.
- “I gave this game such a high rating because I really like the plot being just a short story that plays itself out on the larger canvas of fantasy or sci-fi rather than one chosen to save the world's narrative.”
- “The story itself had me interested and eager to finish it.”
- “The story is long, well written, you will have to discover many secret scenes and endings.”
- “The story was a bit bland, and combat can basically be skipped if you spend a few minutes literally buying levels near the start of the game with absolutely zero penalty.”
- “The story itself isn't all that creative, though, so don't expect it to get too interesting.”
- “The story may as well not exist; it's just a platform for the excuse of having h-scenes that you might feel like you're earning.”

The gameplay in this h-game is generally described as basic and repetitive, primarily relying on standard RPG Maker mechanics with turn-based combat and a simplistic leveling system. While some players appreciate the straightforward nature and the integration of a depravity mechanic, many find the gameplay shallow and lacking depth, often feeling disconnected from the adult content. Overall, it serves as a casual experience for those primarily interested in the erotic elements rather than engaging gameplay.
- “Despite being a game for coomers and degens like me, the gameplay is actually fun and has an interesting storyline.”
- “The gameplay loop is pretty straightforward; keep delving and at regular intervals you advance the storylines for characters.”
- “With good graphics, decent music, and very user-friendly game mechanics, this game will appeal to those who like adult games with gradual corruption themes.”
- “The gameplay is bland and the 'corruption' system isn't even a proper corruption system; it's just a dumb flag that stops you from getting certain scenes.”
- “The gameplay itself is barely put together; although the RPG Maker engine does a good job of avoiding the combat being a buggy mess, the gameplay is shallower than a dry puddle in Death Valley, once again made worse where combat has zero to do with any of the 'scenes'.”
- “The story is passable but predictable, but the gameplay is yawn-inducing.”

- “The graphics are not the only thing that's very 2D in this game.”
- “Makina is one among the many hentai RPGs available on Steam these days: similar graphics, similar assets, similar sounds and music, similar stories.”

Overall, the grinding aspect of the game is largely optional and can be easily bypassed through a level-up shop, allowing players to focus on the story and other features without engaging in tedious battles. While some players find the combat basic and repetitive, the ability to purchase levels and the presence of auto-leveling options make it accessible for those who prefer a more casual experience. However, for those who do engage in grinding, the rewards may feel insufficient, leading to a less satisfying progression.
- “Combat just required a little skill to a moderate amount, no grinding required, and no paid DLCs exist.”
- “Tedious generic JRPG setting, with tedious RPG Maker combat, layered over a bland and generic prostitution sim.”
- “Grinding isn't enjoyable as the experience you get from monsters is far too low to level up at a satisfying rate.”
- “The grinding can be basically skipped at an auto-leveling NPC, since the game at least seems aware that it's a waste of everyone's time.”

- “Good graphics, decent music, most of all fun to play!”
- “The music is decent, but still matches the theme.”
- “The music could get a bit repetitive in some dungeons.”

Overall, players express disappointment in the absence of depth and significance in the game's emotional content.
- “Wholesome mr. goblin.”
- “There's a scene where adult adventurers are turned into children, but they are still horny adults mentally and so they grope the main character and two nuns and the nuns get all flustered and enjoy the children touching them sexually.”

- “The emotional depth of the story is severely lacking, making it hard to connect with the characters.”

The game offers moderate replayability through player choices that influence outcomes, encouraging different behavioral paths, and the potential for achievement hunters to engage in multiple playthroughs. However, some players find the dungeon crawling and combat lacking depth, which diminishes overall replay value. Comparatively, other titles like "Treasure Hunter Claire" are suggested as better options for those seeking more engaging replayable content.
- “The choices affect the outcome of the game, providing replayability by encouraging both naughty and nice behavior choices.”
- “I'd say buying their new game 'Treasure Hunter Claire' is just a much better choice considering the price, the replayable parts, the art, and the content.”
- “The dungeon crawling is shallow and not challenging; replay value and itemization border on nonexistent, and combat is almost entirely skippable. Floors are not randomly generated.”
- “If you’re a Steam achievement hunter, you may find some challenge and replayability in completing them all, which will likely require at least two playthroughs.”
- “For the style, theme, and scenes, it's not a bad game with some replayability after completion, or a speed-up mechanic that is optional to skip the grind.”

- “The game takes its time to build up the situation and atmosphere, but it ultimately feels lacking.”

stability

- “Very, very buggy.”
- “The gameplay itself is barely put together. Although the RPG Maker engine does a good job of avoiding the combat being a buggy mess, the gameplay is shallower than a dry puddle in Death Valley, and this is made worse by the fact that combat has zero to do with any of the 'scenes'.”

The optimization of "Fallen ~makina and the city of ruins~" has notable issues, particularly the lack of a fullscreen option, which leads to stuttering and frame skips when the window is maximized. While the game offers a casual-friendly experience with a "level up shop" to quickly enhance player abilities, these performance flaws detract from the overall gameplay experience.

- “In Fallen, you are free to enjoy the RPG aspects of the game like fighting, grinding, and leveling up, or you can take a more casual approach and 'buy your superpowers.' The developers have made it accessible for both casual players and those who want a more traditional experience, with a 'level up shop' available right at the beginning of the game.”
- “The level up shop allows players to purchase levels for 50 gold each, making it possible to reach max level early on. This optimization feature is designed to help players complete a 'pure' run and achieve the last hidden achievement of the game without unnecessary grinding.”
- “There is a minor flaw with this game; however, there is no fullscreen option, and if you maximize the window, the game suffers from stuttering and frame skips.”

- “While the game offers various paths and options, the overall experience is hindered by poor optimization, leading to frustrating gameplay moments.”
