The gameplay has been described as mediocre and simplistic, primarily resembling a standard dungeon crawler with minimal engagement and difficulty. While some players appreciate the skill tree and map design, many feel the overall experience lacks depth and innovation, leading to a perception of the game as a lazy adaptation of the source material. Overall, it seems to offer a fun but ultimately underwhelming experience for both fans and newcomers.
“The available skill tree choices are nice, and the map design and mechanics are okay.”
“The gameplay is just your simple dungeon crawler but with the characters from the anime, so you might find it boring or not as engaging, but it's still pretty fun.”
“There's a lot of going back and forth uncovering the map as per usual with these kinds of games, and so far, the gameplay hasn't reached high difficulty.”
“As many others have stated, the gameplay is mediocre.”
“To handwave away this bit of lore in service of painfully mediocre gameplay is pathetic.”
“As a Mushoku Tensei reader and watcher, I love this series, but this game is a pretty lazy slap together in terms of the actual gameplay.”

The story is described as a basic retelling of the anime, set in a vibrant world that offers a relatable protagonist's perspective. While it incorporates RPG mechanics and features a recurring theme of mana exhaustion, many reviewers feel it lacks originality and depth, making it more suitable for dedicated fans rather than newcomers seeking a fresh narrative experience.
“Whereas series like Shield Hero deeply rely on RPG mechanics to tell their story, this game exists in a living, breathing world that just so happens to have a protagonist from our side to give us a relatable perspective.”
“A recurring plot point throughout the series is mana exhaustion - a mage's mana pool is finite, slowly regenerating over time.”
“From what I've experienced, there's nothing new in this story.”
“This is just a basic dungeon crawling RPG that retells the story of the anime.”
“Story translation is okay.”
