The gameplay loop is fun, combining monster farming with action-oriented combat, which can be engaging for players who enjoy grinding.

The game is very grindy and repetitive, with many mechanics feeling underdeveloped and simplistic, leading to a lack of depth.
Combat can be clunky and frustrating, especially with a poor camera and targeting system that makes battles chaotic.
The reliance on menus for navigation and the lack of an open world detracts from immersion, making the game feel more like a visual novel than an RPG.

The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it clichéd, predictable, and lacking depth, often comparing it to children's narratives. While some appreciate the unique world and voice acting, others criticize the repetitive and simplistic storytelling, suggesting it fails to engage players beyond basic mechanics. Overall, the narrative seems to cater to a niche audience, particularly those who enjoy light-hearted, visual novel-style storytelling, but may disappoint those seeking a more complex or darker plot.
- “Things I like about it are the story for the most part is good; I like the unique world and the art is nice too.”
- “Not only does the game’s anime style, challenging quests, and interesting story effortlessly garner attention, but the quality and quantity Farmagia is able to cultivate succeeds in making it a must-play hit.”
- “Farmagia is a very interesting concept with a lot of good ideas, great voice acting, and an elaborate story.”
- “The story is godawful boring and one note as well as predictable, the characters are barely baked when they're not just stereotypes.”
- “The story feels like it’s written for 10-year-olds, with characters reduced to absolute clichés.”
- “The other locations to visit, from as far as I've played, are nothing but set pieces for more of the visual novel story, honestly not worth the price.”

The grinding aspect of the game is a significant focus, with many players noting that it is prevalent from the early stages and can feel excessive. While some enjoy the grind for leveling up creatures and progressing through the game, others find it tedious and poorly integrated with the overall gameplay, which suffers from awkward mechanics and a lack of depth. Overall, the grinding experience is polarizing, appealing to dedicated players but potentially off-putting for those seeking a more streamlined or engaging experience.
- “First thing is first, this game is very grindy; from the very early stages of the game, this became apparent.”
- “The camera is horrid, the farming isn't, the combat is awkward due to the bad camera and block-centric mechanics forcing you to re-send your army out to fight things after every block. The story is godawfully boring and one-note as well as predictable, the characters are barely developed when they're not just stereotypes, and the creature collection is lacking due to a lack of different varieties.”
- “Farmagia has fun and flashy combat, but its lack of depth and threadbare farming ultimately make it hard to recommend.”

The gameplay in Farmagia is characterized by a charming art style and a fun loop, but it suffers from a lack of depth and coherence, with awkward combat mechanics and a frustrating camera. Players note that while the farming and town aspects are engaging, the combat feels repetitive and linear, often relying on parrying rather than more dynamic mechanics. Overall, the game presents an interesting concept but is hindered by mediocre execution and design flaws, making it feel more like a mobile game than a fully realized RPG.
- “The combat isn't too difficult as long as you guard when necessary and use the other mechanics to your advantage.”
- “I like the gameplay loop.”
- “Farmagia’s unique approach to the genre may raise some eyebrows, but successfully creates a fun time with its interweaving gameplay components.”
- “The camera is horrid, the farming isn't, the combat is awkward due to the bad camera and block-centric mechanics forcing you to re-send your army out to fight things after every block. The story is godawfully boring and one-note as well as predictable. The characters are barely developed when they're not just stereotypes, the creature collection is lacking due to a lack of different varieties, and the challenge only comes from bad design. It's like combat Pikmin with no real entertaining mechanics...there's just nothing to recommend this for.”
- “Things I didn't like especially about it are things like forcing you to parry, which is not fun. I find parrying to be usually the hardest or most ignored mechanic in most games, at least for me it is for sure. Having to rely on it instead of a dodge is kind of sad. The game doesn't have exploration and is on the tracks a little too much so far, but I'm hoping for it to free up soon. If not, then it's a little too linear for me.”
- “Bare bones gameplay, corny characters so far, no real depth. $29.99 max is what I would pay for this and honestly only for the art.”
