The game's story is often described as lacking depth and engagement, with many players finding it repetitive and linear, primarily consisting of simple fetch quests and combat tasks. While some appreciate the graphics and character design, the overwhelming reliance on auto-play features detracts from the narrative experience, making it feel more like a grind than an adventure. Overall, the consensus is that the story fails to captivate players, leading to a tedious gameplay experience.
“The plot and gameplay are fun; however, it's been stuck on a certain version, with no new maps, expansions, or events for almost 2 years that don't involve using money.”
“But the storyline and graphics are good; I like the characters and the places.”
“Good story, auto quest, and auto loot; a good app for me as a busy father, it serves me as a stress reliever, I can play while AFK.”
“No compelling story.”
“No story to learn, no adventures to complete if the game can just do it all automatically for you.”
“Boring, by the numbers, tedious fetch quests that make this nothing like the original game.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its smooth controls and enjoyable mechanics, particularly for a mobile experience. However, many users express frustration over a lack of character customization, repetitive quests, and issues with game balance, such as hidden health bars and auto-play features. Overall, while the graphics and potential for fun are noted, significant improvements in gameplay depth and player engagement are desired.
“Great gameplay, lots to do and great graphics for a game on my phone.”
“Wonderful gameplay.”
“Smooth gameplay, simple controls - perfect little MMORPG for a phone.”
“The gameplay and controls were boring, and you would be locked in animation while attacking.”
“They don't die when the health bar hits 0, and it screws up timed gameplay, or you die because the enemy has a hidden extra 50% of health, so you think you've won, but they just don't die.”
“This game has low-tech servers full of bugs and glitches. It's not recommendable for slow connections, and no matter how fast your connection is, you'll still end up on a glitch that will disconnect you automatically. The dev team doesn't care about this concern; they prioritize pay-to-win players, and every update is becoming worse.”

“Super predatory monetization practices, with incredibly low chances of success for things like gear upgrades.”

“At this point it's a blatant cash grab, I mean, it was when it was released too.”

The music in the game evokes nostalgia for many players, particularly those who fondly remember the original Flyff soundtrack. However, there are mixed feelings about the current music, with some finding it repetitive and annoying, especially the loading theme, while others express a desire for the return of classic tracks. Overall, while the background music can be relaxing, it fails to capture the charm of the original game for many long-time fans.
“I really like the game because I played it back when I was in high school. I remember picking a magician and my second job was psychipper. The only thing I want from this game is to use its original theme song from the old version.”
“The game's music and feeling are still in my memories; there's nothing quite like it.”
“Most things I liked were hearing some old Flyff music.”
“Also, the repetitive loading song drives me nuts.”

Also, no matter how fast your connection is, you'll still end up on a glitch that will disrupt your gameplay and disconnect you automatically.

None of this fixed the issue.”
