The reviews highlight that the game involves significant grinding, particularly in creature collection and leveling, which some players find enjoyable while others see it as tedious. The farming mechanics are described as simplistic and secondary to the combat and creature management, leading to mixed feelings about the overall design. While the game blends elements of farming and RPGs, it may not satisfy those seeking a deep farming experience akin to titles like Rune Factory or Harvest Moon.
- “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 resend 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. The challenge only comes from bad design, and it's like combat Pikmin with no real entertaining mechanics...there's just nothing to recommend this for.”
- “The farming system is very basic and it's much more about knowing what to drop to get the resources from the research notes than about farming itself, but it's not a problem.”

The story in this game is generally criticized for being clichéd, predictable, and lacking depth, often feeling more suited for a younger audience. While some players appreciate the unique world and art style, many find the narrative boring and the characters stereotypical, with limited character development. Overall, the storytelling is seen as a significant aspect that can either enhance or detract from the gameplay experience, depending on individual preferences.
- “This game is fun if you like a lot of story and some grinding to collect all the monsters.”
- “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.”
- “You start off with a small piece of land to grow your buddies and when you leave your farm, a selection menu pops up to go to the dungeon (maze), the tavern, the shop, etc. It is a lot like a visual novel except everything involving the main story is voiced, which I like a lot.”
- “The camera is horrid, the farming isn't, the combat is awkward due to the bad camera and block-centric mechanics forcing you to resend your army out to fight things after every block. The story is godawful boring and one-note, as well as predictable. The characters are barely developed 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 gameplay is characterized by a charming art style and a fun loop, but it suffers from a lack of depth and significant design flaws, including a poor camera and awkward combat mechanics that rely heavily on blocking and parrying. While some players appreciate the simplicity and enjoy the farming aspects, many criticize the linearity, repetitive grinding, and underwhelming creature collection, leading to a mixed reception overall. Despite its shortcomings, those who resonate with its mechanics may find enjoyment, though it feels more suited for a mobile platform.
- “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.”
- “I'll admit it feels a little like a phone game, but I enjoy the simple mechanics; some games these days are overcomplicated for no reason.”
- “The camera is horrid, the farming isn't, the combat is awkward due to the bad camera and block-centric mechanics forcing you to resend your army out to fight things after every block. The story is godawfully boring and one-note as well as predictable.

- “Horrible looking creatures, terrible graphics, terrible gameplay.”
- “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.”
