The game's story is praised for its engaging plot, well-written dialogue, and humor, with players expressing a desire for more content as it currently feels unfinished. While the main storyline and side quests are enjoyable, some players noted that the quest design can be overly simplistic.

“The gameplay and story are some of the best.”
“Wonderful art, great gameplay, and a storyline that I want much more of.”
“Can't wait for the rest of the story; honestly, the dialogue is very well written and has made me laugh multiple times with its up-to-date references.”
“Quest can be a bit hand-holding at times, made worse by the fact there is an oracle in case you are stuck, so the quests should be less simplistic.”
“Harem in Another World is presently still in early access and is very unfinished -- at a certain point, you'll start getting 'end of current content' messages when you try to continue various storylines, and then eventually the whole thing comes to a stop.”

The gameplay blends elements of a walking simulator and visual novel, featuring engaging story moments and charming dialogue, though some minigames can feel grindy and tedious. While the tavern gameplay is criticized as annoying, the overall mechanics, including auto-battle combat and a focus on exploration over traditional RPG elements, contribute to a solid and addictive experience, enhanced by beautiful pixel art and animations.
“Story is fun with some cool gameplay moments such as the arena fights and the drunken sailors.”
“This is the type of game which gets you addicted very fast (at least if you like pixel art gameplay mixed with beautiful visuals).”
“It is definitely not shovelware; rather, it is a very solid and enjoyable game, filled with charming dialogue, fun mechanics, and attractive art.”
“The gameplay is a mix between a walking simulator and a visual novel, and the minigames feel somewhat grindy and boring. However, this is an adult game, and that's not really why people play it.”
“The mechanics are somewhat clever: combat is entirely auto-battle, and there are no experience points or loot drops from enemies. The game explicitly states that there's no benefit to fighting, and you're better off avoiding combat when possible.”
