    The story aspect of the game is generally seen as lacking a cohesive or engaging main storyline, with many users describing quests as repetitive fetch tasks without epic or meaningful narrative depth. While the game offers a variety of quests and events, players frequently express a desire for more diverse, challenging, and rewarding missions, as well as clearer quest guidance and new areas to explore to maintain engagement. Additionally, issues such as high in-game prices, limited ways to earn currency, and absent or incomplete quests contribute to player frustration and diminish the overall story-driven experience.

    • “The 10 year anniversary quest was amazing and I wish there were more quests in general as there's nothing really to do otherwise.”
    • “Very unique game, great way to socialize and meet new people you thought you'd never meet, full of lots of quests that are difficult, but worth the time taken.”
    • “Fun quests and mysteries everywhere you look!”
    • “At first it seems fine if you know 'A Link to the Past,' it makes a great connection but two things: 1) they don't have a real storyline, I mean, it doesn't have clear quests for the users there.”
    • “This game literally has zero plot or story quests.”
    • “The game had no story point. Needs serious fixes, like a clear goal or storyline to follow.”
  • graphics

    The game's graphics are widely appreciated for their charming retro, cartoony, and pixelated art style reminiscent of classic titles like Zelda, though some users find them outdated or too childish. While the visuals bring nostalgia and a unique identity, occasional graphic glitches, lag, and lack of modern updates have been noted as drawbacks. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's addictive and enjoyable experience despite mixed opinions on technical performance.

    • “The graphics are fantastic, and their staff and creator are always there to help with any problems that you may have.”
    • “I think this game is great game graphics and etc even it's pixelated. I recommend that people should play this.”
    • “There are great retro graphics, it's easy to play, challenging quests and it is super addicting.”
    • “Coming back after about 5 years, there are a lot of graphic issues, lagging and occasional crashing while playing.”
    • “I've loved this game since I found it a few years ago. I've recently downloaded it onto my new phone and graphics are messed up, things showing up in weird places. It doesn't affect gameplay too much but it's still kinda annoying.”
    • “After a broken intro screen, I was thrust into a tutorial with no visible background graphics, text boxes with overlapping words, a character edit menu that displayed only half its UI, and a character consisting of a floating head.”
  • grinding

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being overly time-consuming and restrictive due to frequent nerfs, farming limits, and expensive items. Many players express frustration with the current farming system’s difficulty, limited daily gralats earnings, bans linked to farming activities, and a perceived shift towards pay-to-win mechanics, which diminishes the overall enjoyment and progression. There is a strong demand for reverting to the old, less restrictive farming system and adding more diverse, engaging ways to earn gralats.

    • “The ability to obtain gralats has been nerfed so many times, it's unreal and annoying when every item costs between 3k to 10k+, and new items roll out every month making it impossible to get even one unless you grind every day, all day.”
    • “Grinding is obnoxious because of player killers, looting is boring, and bug hunting feels pointless, making the farming system extremely tedious.”
    • “The new farming system is an absolute tragedy; they literally killed everything that was good about this game with the gralat farming update.”
  • stability

    The game suffers from frequent bugs, glitches, and lag issues that disrupt gameplay, causing freezes, invisible characters, and problematic server performance. While some players find occasional glitches amusing or tolerable, many report frustration with persistent instability and slow or inadequate developer response to these problems. However, a few users experience minimal or no issues, indicating inconsistent stability across different devices or updates.

    • “No glitches so far!”
    • “I played it and it is awesome on my phone; nothing happened, no glitches, no lag, even lag outs didn't happen.”
    • “This game is great with little or no glitches.”
    • “The new updated system is killing the game itself, with countless bugs and glitches and lack of attention to feedback reports.”
    • “The server has too many bugs and glitches; the game shows other players frozen and presents black borders that can't be crossed.”
    • “This game has so many bugs and glitches that cause lagging; for example, my bomb vendor disappeared from my guild house and never reappeared despite restoring furniture.”
  • gameplay

Overall, players call for more meaningful gameplay updates, fairer experience, and improved stability.

    • “Gameplay is fun though, Graal maintains its online RPG appeal well across platforms.”
    • “This game is very unique, this is one of the first online games I've played, and I have to say I love the graphics and gameplay. If I had to choose between any other roleplay game and this, it would be 100% this.”
    • “The gameplay is cool, there are so many things to collect like loot, hats, mounts, furniture, and my favorite, food.”
    • “It's clear the development team doesn't care about the game or respect the players, and they exploit players' addiction by removing mechanics (farming, for example) to force them to spend real money on gralat packs.”
    • “Very minimal actual gameplay, too hard to make money, riddled with cheats and hacks.”
    • “The farming system changed, more unnecessary updates, laggy gameplay, language barriers, and players grinding for expensive items.”

    • “The music has an off switch; it's awesome.”
    • “I would recommend that they consider changing the hideous music, adding more quests, and addressing the bugs to enhance the overall experience of this game and make it more enjoyable for players.”

    • “It's a good game to meet friends around the world and funny to play.”
    • “I like this game because you meet new people around the world. There are more games like this, like Graal Era, but I like this one better and I'm not the only one; there are more people, so you should play. It's fun and funny.”
  • monetization

    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    18% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 65% negative mentions

    Users find the game's monetization to be expensive with limited value, describing it as a "cash grab" and calling for lower prices and better advertising efforts to revive its popularity. While some appreciate the lack of ads, many feel the game lacks updates and new ideas, and suggest introducing ad-based rewards to improve income and player engagement. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as a barrier to growth and player satisfaction.

    • “Love it, no ads, wonderful, install this game now!”
    • “I've played this game since 2010 and I've spent hundreds on in-app purchases, love it but there's too many kids playing nowadays, I know this was originally called Zelda Online or something and it's pretty much a clone of A Link to the Past, my favourite Zelda game so good kob c:”
    • “Gliches are mostly controlled but to get around you need to get about all in-app purchases.”
    • “Now it's just one of those cash grabbing games.”
    • “Other than that there's so little updates and new ideas added, compared to other games it's so infamous; financially, I think the game isn't selling since the prices of in-game purchases are so high for so little.”
    • “Glitches are mostly controlled but to get around you need to get almost all in-app purchases.”
