However, many users report significant optimization issues, leading to lag, poor performance on various devices, and unresponsive controls, which detracts from the gameplay experience.

- “I've never seen Korea presented in such beautiful console-quality 3D graphics.”

I can't see the analog and attack buttons, even after deleting the character and starting from the beginning again; the buttons are still invisible.”
- “The game is very laggy even at low graphic settings with high FPS (60 FPS).”

The game's story is generally praised for its immersive quality and engaging concepts, with many players appreciating the graphics and character development. However, issues such as poor optimization, lag, and unresponsive controls hinder the overall experience, making it difficult for some players to fully enjoy the narrative. While the story has potential, its delivery is often criticized for being incoherent and overshadowed by gameplay frustrations.

- “The story is good, the graphics are great.”
- “Game is going great, amazing graphics, intense gameplay, great story (also watch the show).”
- “The story isn't being conveyed properly and coherently, and what makes it worse for me is the game itself is very laggy. Combined with the rough control (delay and unresponsive), it makes combat very frustrating.”
- “Probably autoplay with no customization and a story as bland as bread to boot anyway.”
- “However, the game crashes all the time after finishing the stage or doing a 'train' for some reason. It may feel like a Souls-like game but lacks something; the repetitive quests and stages are the norm, yet it still has little twists to offer.”
