“The graphics are amazing and it really draws you in as you play.”
“I love the graphics as well as the gaming experience.”
“The graphics are very nice with a refreshing anime style theme.”
“The only barely passable thing is the art/graphics.”
“The graphics are poor, even worse than those from Fortnite; there is no continuity (when you jump on a mount you suddenly become another person) and let's not talk about the voice acting and the background music.”
“I have no idea, graphics aren't anything to write home about; characters are basic and uninspired, just another game meant to rake in your money with empty promises of a game.”

The game's story is often criticized for being shallow and difficult to follow, with many players feeling that the auto-quest feature detracts from the narrative experience. While some appreciate the graphics and gameplay mechanics, the overwhelming reliance on automation leads to a lack of engagement with the storyline, making it feel repetitive and unchallenging. Overall, players express a desire for a more immersive and coherent story that encourages active participation rather than passive gameplay.
“I love the storyline.”
“The game is great, it has a story, gameplay mechanics are fun. I'd give it a five-star except there's one problem.”
“This game RPG is so amazing and also storyline.”
“Firstly, even with the auto-quest on, I barely have a story to get myself interested in. I hope I didn't skip the intro because, wow, that's a pretty stupid way to accidentally skip the backbone of the game.”
“There is no storyline in this, just an infinite repetitive quest.”
“I'm honestly very disappointed because I really did expect so much from this game. I thought that there would be a storytelling that would tell you that you have a purpose to play this game. I can't believe I actually waited this long just to turn on auto quest and watch my character do all the work for me.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being heavily focused on cash grabs and pay-to-win mechanics, with players frequently bombarded by ads promoting in-game purchases. Many reviewers express frustration over misleading advertisements that do not accurately represent the gameplay, as well as the overwhelming presence of ads that detract from the overall experience. While some players find enjoyment in the game, the consensus is that the monetization tactics significantly hinder its potential, especially for free-to-play users.
“And yes, I'm completely aware that this game has a lot of in-app purchases in it, but to be honest, it's not really that big of a deal.”
“First company that understands that and makes a true MMORPG without a VIP system and without gender-locked classes and without auto questing will make so much more money than any other game developer and draw in a huge player fan base who will naturally spend a lot of money on microtransactions.”
“Good game, no ads, just on items. Keep up the good work!”
“You can barely get 30 seconds into the game without being spammed with ads telling you to buy the packages to 'get ahead'.”
“When you get done customizing your character, you get constant ads and you always get pop-ups trying to make you pay to delete the ads, and almost everything in this game has to be paid for with money.”
“It's okay, for a pay-to-win cash grab, but the worst thing is the ads; they're misleading and don't show anything about the game, just like other mobile ads.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it tedious and repetitive, especially at higher levels where progression slows significantly. While some appreciate the auto-grinding features and offline farming options, others criticize the pay-to-win model that allows spending players to advance much faster, making it frustrating for those who prefer to grind without spending money. Overall, the consensus suggests that while grinding is a core part of the game, it can lead to boredom and a sense of unfairness in competitive play.
“The game itself is alright, but after level 300, there's not a lot of fun to be had; it's just constant grinding to get your character higher CP.”
“If you want to do well, you have to pay, which ruins the whole game, or spend hours grinding while someone can just pay to reach your level. Absolutely stupid.”
“Tedious and boring; such a shame for a good-looking game.”
