The game's story is generally well-received, with players appreciating its depth and engaging twists, such as the perspective of being a monster versus heroes. However, some users find the dialogue excessive and the quest mechanics cumbersome, particularly regarding the distance between quest givers.

Overall, users report a stable gaming experience with no significant glitches or issues. While there are minor suggestions for improvements in character design and item upgrades, these do not detract from the game's overall performance.
- “I love this game from the art style to how simple it is to play and understand. So far, there are no glitches or problems. My only gripe is that upgrading items past level 2 at the blacksmith requires diamonds, but with all the optional ads that give you some, it's usually not an issue. Keep up the good work; I can't wait to see what this game does in the future!”
- “This game is pretty awesome, but the monster skins are too bright. Additionally, the two-horned options should be positioned lower on the head, where the forehead is, especially when using the hair option. There are also glitches when equipping objects, as they don't show any changes on the monster, like gloves. Just my suggestions, and I'm a big fan of your apps.”
