However, some players find the controls confusing and the side missions lacking, leading to a repetitive gameplay experience.

- “If you remember Warnet Life, one of the first Akhir Pekan Studio games that made its popularity boom because of the Indonesian internet cafe theme, this game is an evolutionary gameplay combination of the monster series from World of Mystery, monster collecting and summoning, and the most nostalgic town and gameplay from Warnet Life.”
- “The HUD gameplay and graphics have really improved from the previous games (Bakso Simulator and World of Mystery).”
- “The gameplay controls (especially sprint; left shift is doubted to toggle sprint or hold on sprint).”
