Overall, the gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing nostalgia for the classic mechanics but criticizing the current iteration for being repetitive and overly reliant on autoplay features. While some appreciate the upgrades and additional content compared to the original, others find the gameplay lacking in depth and plagued by bugs, poor graphics, and a pay-to-win model. The consensus suggests that while it may appeal to long-time fans, it fails to innovate or provide a compelling experience for new players.
- “A genuinely good upgrade from classic mu for those who want to experience the original gameplay (as opposed to something more modern like mu dark epoch, which is also fun!).”
- “The game feel is the same as the vanilla mu we know but builds on it with everything that was missing back then - more quests, better mechanics, many events, and much more.”
- “However, currently at level 150 and still having a good time doing dailies, grinding mobs, and enjoying the old-school gameplay.”
- “Back in the day, MU used to be fun as it was, but nowadays the mechanics and gameplay have turned boring (the autoplay worsens the situation). This makes me think of it as a nostalgic tribute instead of something 'new'.”
- “The gameplay is repetitive and lacks any substance.”
- “Clunky game mechanics and walking without auto play is rough because you get stuck on everything.”

The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with players noting that NPC interactions are minimal and uninteresting. Many users express frustration with the quest system, particularly in PvP areas where higher-level players and bots hinder progress, making it nearly impossible to complete missions without resorting to in-game purchases. Overall, the narrative experience is overshadowed by gameplay mechanics that prioritize monetization and player-versus-player conflict over storytelling.
- “Brings back memories of MU Online 0.98b yet on the phone and is too directed with all quests you can't stop completing.”
- “It's fun! I've been playing and doing quests and got some good stuff already.”
- “You're given a side quest early on to wear a 5 piece set.”
- “There is no story; all the NPCs just say hello or welcome to this place, etc.”
- “Worst experience; you cannot complete a single mission without a higher level killing you. There should be a non-PVP server with a lower experience drop rate. I'm tired of this...”
- “Once you get past level 65, it gets very hard to complete quests in PVP areas; you'll be killed a lot.”
grinding

The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized due to the overwhelming presence of bots that dominate farming spots, making it difficult for legitimate players to progress. While some players enjoy the old-school grind and daily activities, many report that the experience is marred by lag, UI bugs, and a significant drop in loot drop rates after extended farming sessions. Overall, the game is described as grindy but plagued by issues that detract from the enjoyment, leading some players to uninstall.
- “If you like games that are grindy, buggy, and unplayable, then this game is right up your alley.”
- “Full of bots and hackers killing you for no reason. I liked this game at first but then realized it was too good to be true. It turned out to be a forever grind for weapons, and hacked and bot players would be total douchebags and kill you while grinding for said weapons. I just uninstalled the game; it's totally not worth the time to play.”
- “After 1-2 hours of farming, the drop rates fall so hard and obvious, you barely get anything.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being exploitative, with many players feeling pressured to make purchases due to the presence of high-level opponents and a lack of permanent in-game items. Users report misleading advertisements that do not reflect the actual gameplay, excessive microtransactions, and poor customer support regarding refunds and bot reporting. Overall, the game is perceived as a cash grab, prioritizing profit over player experience.
- “No ads so far.”
- “A little too much microtransactions but decent game.”
- “This is very close to the original game but has a lot of limitations, encouraging microtransactions for items that are usually easy to obtain.”
- “No permanent in-game purchase items (expire after 30 days), PvP unlocked so you get killed by high-level players forcing you to buy items, and it's full of bots and AI.”
- “Translation is garbage, so I buy an item from the store that I assume from the translation does something, but it doesn't do that at all. I ask for a refund and get 'we don't refund anything.' My ticket gets closed, so I make a new ticket asking for more information, and it gets deleted without an answer. The game is swarmed with bots, and they do nothing about it. You can't even report anyone for botting or anything like that; it's pretty much a cash grab trying to steal as much as it can as soon as possible.”
- “This is very close to the original game but has a lot of limitations so they can add microtransactions to get things that you can usually get very easily.”
