The art style and monster designs are charming and visually appealing.
The game features a nice little story with potential for future development and likeable characters.
The music and sound design are solid, contributing positively to the overall experience.

The game is very short, with many players finishing it in around 5 to 8 hours, which feels inadequate for an RPG.
Combat is poorly balanced, especially in the early game, making it frustrating and tedious due to frequent random encounters.
The story feels generic and lacks depth, with a disappointing 'To Be Continued' ending that leaves players unsatisfied.

The story follows Noa, an aspiring adventurer, and his friend as they embark on a series of typical quests that lack depth and engagement, often feeling like a setup for a larger narrative yet to unfold. While the plot picks up towards the end, culminating in a "to be continued" that frustrates rather than intrigues, much of the journey is marked by generic tropes and predictable scenarios. Overall, the narrative is seen as having potential but ultimately falls short of delivering a compelling experience.
- “Noa, the primary protagonist, has always dreamed of being an adventurer. The story plays as the first quarter of a longer, richer, deeper RPG, driven mostly by Noa and his childhood buddy's eagerness to be adventurers and their willingness to embrace whatever comes their way.”
- “The story was interesting, if not very deep.”
- “+ nice little story with a lot of potential for the future (sequel)”
- “After the first quest, you don't really have that much skin in the game of the plot, so it's really just the characters kind of following along doing random things as they happen around them.”
- “The rest of the story is very by the numbers: grandma needs medicine > go get medicine > go tell the king about the plague you only see grandma sick with in the whole game > go investigate the source of the plague > king's obviously evil chancellor (shown in the prologue) sends you to kill his personal hit squad that he no longer needs > go find some sage > go into the wild lands of the savage orcs > orcs aren't the monsters we thought they were!”
- “Story was okay, but generic.”

Players find the grinding in the game to be excessive and often tedious, with frequent encounters that detract from enjoyment. While some grinding is necessary to obtain better equipment, many feel it leads to a point where running from battles becomes the preferred option due to a lack of meaningful rewards. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a significant drawback, overshadowing the game's potential.
- “Encounters -- the fights are too sluggish and grindy and way too frequent; you hit a point where you're honestly just running from everything since you don't need the gold for almost anything and the fights aren't fun.”
- “I spent over an hour, probably close to 2, grinding to get the best equipment in the first town, except for the armor.”
- “Game was half decent and had potential, but even with some grinding, you can finish it in eight hours.”
