The game's story is generally considered weak, with many reviewers noting a lack of depth and quests, which detracts from the overall experience. While the mechanics and monster breeding aspects are enjoyable, the absence of a compelling narrative leaves players wanting more. Overall, it is seen as a decent game for fans of monster collection, but it could benefit from a more developed storyline.
- “Huge fans of Dragon Quest Monsters, DQM, Pokémon, or any other monster breeder/trainer will love this!”
- “The monster breeding system is similar to the one in Dragon Quest Monsters (very good), the game has both manual and automatic combat modes.”
- “However, for the first game that this developer made, it is a really nice one even though it is a bit short and lacking in storyline as well as instructions (I did not notice that we could combine monsters at first).”
- “If this game was polished, had animations, included more monsters, more specific breeding recipes, and included exploration as well as a story, then it would be a top-tier game.”
- “Even though it is a bit lacking in story, it is a decent one to waste your time.”

Overall, it reflects a fair approach for an indie developer.
- “This is much more of a game than most of the other mobile 'monster tamer/summoner' games - which are all cookie-cutter cash grabs.”
- “Don't watch ads for jewels, but other than that, it's a good game.”
