- “I had to resort to using my own music in a separate app.”
- “The default music levels are way too loud, so turn those down immediately.”
- “Also, why on Odin's beard is there no music in the game?!”

Players find the gameplay engaging due to the balance between luck and strategy, particularly when mechanics are in place to mitigate randomness. However, a notable drawback is the limited space of the physical dice roller, which affects the rolling experience.
- “With dice games, luck is always a big factor, and as long as there is a mechanic to mitigate the luck, the game becomes interesting.”
- “My only complaint about the game mechanics themselves is that the physical dice roller has very little room to let the dice roll.”

The story aspect of the game is minimal, with effective voiceovers but lacking depth typical of story-driven RPGs. Players find the presentation of character narratives through mouse interactions on the gameboard somewhat awkward.
- “The voiceovers are fine, but this isn't a story-based RPG, so I'm not sure what people were expecting.”
- “I don't like that the player avatars are placed in the middle of the game board, and hovering over them brings up their story text.”

The graphics and user interface of the game are considered subpar, but given its low price point of $3, many users feel it's a reasonable trade-off.
- “The aesthetic and UI trappings of the game are a little lacking, but you can't complain too much for a $3 game.”
