The monetization strategy for "Thor's Ascension: Nine Realms" has been criticized as misleading, with the game being described as an advertisement rather than a full product. Reviewers highlight the prevalence of fake reviews and the deceptive practice of publishing demos as separate games to gain visibility, ultimately urging players to avoid spending money on what they consider an exploitative marketing tactic.
- “The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $8 USD on buying Thor's Ascension: Nine Realms, and I don't recommend you do that either.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”

The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for their poor quality, resembling outdated textures reminiscent of early 3D titles like Mario 64, and suffering from significant performance issues, including low frame rates even in menus. Users noted that the graphic settings had minimal impact on visual fidelity, leading to a generally disappointing experience that feels more suited for mobile platforms than modern PCs. Overall, the graphics are considered a major drawback, detracting from the overall gameplay experience.
- “Otherwise, the graphics aren't too bad when set to epic, which the game defaulted to for me.”
- “Not ready; only leaving a negative review as the game is on sale in early access, with translation issues (random German text) and very mobile-esque graphics and combat.”
- “While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics.”
- “Terrible performance paired with abysmal graphics; graphic settings changed close to nothing. Every texture looks like a Mario 64 texture, and even the menu runs at a spicy 20 fps at most.”
- “Not ready; only leaving a negative review as the game is on sale in early access. There are translation issues (random German text) and the graphics and combat feel very mobile-esque.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing its pacing and lack of depth, describing it as a simplistic "kill everyone" narrative.
