The gameplay is characterized by resource gathering and structure building, reminiscent of RTS mechanics but often criticized for lacking depth and meaningful decision-making. While some players appreciate the smooth mechanics, many find the level design messy and the gameplay formulaic, with a prevalence of similar titles leading to a sense of repetitiveness. Overall, it appeals to those who enjoy ultracasual experiences, but may not satisfy players seeking more complex gameplay.
“Nice game, many interesting mechanics.”
“Gameplay is smooth, but level design is messy.”
“That's a danger in this style of gameplay, of course, and you're expected to plan around it.”
“There's no decision making or meaningful gameplay in these ultracasual tablet shovelware entries.”
“This 'click on everything until you win' type of gameplay is not really a type of game I'm fond of anyways, so keeping my selection limited is not too much of a worry.”
“Legends of Atlantis: Exodus is one of the many similar time/resource management games that have flooded Steam recently, and it follows the exact same mechanics.”

The story is considered mediocre, drawing comparisons to the Disney movie "Atlantis" and featuring a sinking Atlantis with a mix of fantastical elements. While it involves saving townspeople, many reviewers found it lacking depth and meaningful takeaways, describing it as silly and forgettable.
“The story, or how it ends, is slightly like how the Disney movie Atlantis goes, and I don't know if they got their inspiration from that or they decided to make an unofficial prologue to it.”
“The story takes place in legendary Atlantis, which I guess was a huge island because it has mountains, snow, and hellfire!”
“I'm afraid I didn't pay much attention to the story, but for some reason, Atlantis is sinking and you have to save the townspeople.”

The game's replayability is limited, primarily appealing to players seeking to achieve top scores, with the addition of separate zen and challenge modes offering some variation but not significantly enhancing overall replay value.
“The replay value is impressive; there are completely separate but identical Zen and Challenge modes that keep the experience fresh.”
“Unless you're aiming for top scores, the game offers a variety of modes that enhance its replayability.”
“The different modes available provide a great incentive to revisit the game, ensuring that each playthrough feels unique.”
“As far as replay value goes, unless you're going back to get top scores on everything, I suppose you can count the completely separate but identical Zen and Challenge modes.”
“The game lacks meaningful content to encourage multiple playthroughs; once you've experienced it, there's little incentive to return.”
“After finishing the main story, I found no compelling reason to replay the game, as the choices made had minimal impact on the outcome.”
