The game is praised for its quality but suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent crashes, freezing during online play, and persistent bugs that hinder progress. Players report overheating devices and losing in-game currency due to glitches, leading to frustration and potential uninstallation. Overall, while the game has potential, it requires urgent fixes to improve stability.

When you play online, it freezes the NPCs, and when you try to reload the game, you get stuck on the text that pops up when you open the game for the first time. When you click on it, it just gives you gold, but you can't exit the text and can't play the game. I've had to restart 2 times with considerably high progression. Even though it's a really good game that I would recommend, it has some bugs that need fixing.”

- “I really want to play this game, but every time I try to open the store, it just freezes and I can't move, and the store does not pop up.”
