However, some minor inconsistencies, such as misnamed quest mobs, can lead to confusion early in the game, though these issues are generally considered trivial by most players.

- “The worst was calling weird plant creatures 'owls' (not even their actual name), which happens to be the second quest, so the confusion starts early.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including numerous bugs and incorrect screen resolution that affects gameplay. Players have expressed frustration over the lack of a faithful remake, feeling that the current version is a poorly executed attempt to capitalize on nostalgia without addressing fundamental technical problems.
