The gameplay of the game is characterized by its complex mechanics and engaging idle RPG elements, which some players find appealing despite a lack of graphical polish. While the core gameplay loop is enjoyable and offers meaningful progression, many users express frustration with slow advancement, underexplained mechanics, and mandatory reset features that can detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game has potential but suffers from pacing issues and technical limitations that may hinder enjoyment.
- “It's the Dark Souls of idle games, with its complex mechanics leaving clicker heroes in the dust.”
- “While the game mechanics of Incremental Epic Hero are reminiscent of clicker heroes, it stands out with its combination of idle gameplay and detailed character customization, providing an engaging experience.”
- “Decent gameplay loop, but progression is too slow in this idle game.”
- “The gameplay gets even worse as you progress.”
- “It has a few neat ideas and I like the relatively slow grind, but without directions, you have nowhere to go, as well as a relatively disappointing prestige mechanic.”
- “This game lost me with its underexplained interface before it could interest me with its gameplay.”

The game is characterized by a significant amount of grinding, with players noting that progress can feel abysmally slow and often requires extensive playtime to reach the end. While the quest system and core mechanics are engaging, many reviews highlight the grind as tedious, especially for those not willing to invest real money for faster progression. Despite its grindy nature, some players find it enjoyable as a casual, idle experience, making it suitable for brief play sessions.
- “It's a bit dated, balance is questionable, and it's an idle game that has some very tedious non-idle elements in it.”
- “It gets really grindy quite fast though, so don't expect to finish the game any time soon unless you spend real money.”
- “But once you're at about a 370k slime coin cap and start to get all skills to level 200 minimum, you're starting to realize that you only have a few more ways to progress, each more grindy than the other.”

The game's story is generally seen as enjoyable but lacking depth, with a variety of missions that can feel grindy and repetitive. While the quest system offers interesting dialogue and a unique setting for each area, many players find the requirement to repeatedly defeat bosses and complete missions tedious. Overall, the narrative elements provide some engagement, but the focus remains heavily on gameplay mechanics rather than a compelling storyline.
- “Story - 7/10 - nice original setting for each little area, and even the quests have some interesting dialogue.”
- “Upgrades often have their own story too, which just means there's plenty to read while waiting for things to pick up speed, or while waiting to get levels or loot while farming.”
- “Each area has a set of missions you can try to attain, simple as kill __ number of monsters or gather __ number of materials.”
- “Its story, though lacking depth, provides an enjoyable, casual gaming experience.”
- “But there are other missions like 'capture 150 red fairy'.”
- “And that this is just for one of dozens of 'trap x enemy' missions?”

The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users describing them as sub-par, pixelated, and poorly optimized, leading to performance issues. While some find a bit of charm in the visuals, overall, the graphics are considered a significant drawback, lacking polish and failing to enhance the gameplay experience.
- “Graphically it's fun to watch because you can see your player become stronger/more efficient.”
- “Not the most graphically pleasing game but it has the basics and it’s understandable.”
- “The graphics are sub-par but do have a bit of charm.”
- “This game has horrible graphics; everything is pixelated, and it takes so long to progress because of how long resources take.”
- “This clicker grindfest wouldn't be too bad for what it is if it weren't so horribly optimized. It's making my CPU overheat, and it's got barely any graphics!”

The game's optimization is hindered by a significant glitch that affects the display of info boxes and skill icons upon loading save data, requiring players to toggle performance mode to resolve the issue. However, the performance mode itself is highly praised, with users rating it 10/10 and suggesting it should be a standard feature in idle games with animations.
- “Performance mode - 10/10 - this should be a feature in every idle game that has any kind of animations.”
- “I realize that's theoretically the point of an idle game, but usually you can still see some tangible increase in performance over time.”
- “This version, however, does have a really annoying glitch that needs to be fixed: when loading save data, info boxes and the 'ghost' icon of selected skills will not be displayed, and this continues until you toggle performance mode on and off.”
