The game's story is minimal, primarily consisting of lore found in skill descriptions, but it stands out as one of the few incremental games with a complete narrative. Players appreciate the improved story, graphics, and music compared to its predecessor, along with increased challenge due to the potential for failure in higher difficulties. Overall, while the story may not be central, it adds depth to the gameplay experience.

Gameplay is criticized for its conflicting mechanics and excessive downtime, leading to a lack of meaningful choices, as players find that simply maximizing mana and attack is the most effective strategy, rendering other options ineffective.
“Many of the new mechanics are at odds with each other, there's a lot of dead time, and most of the options are noob traps (literally just max out mana and attack, nothing else matters).”
