The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its simplicity, smooth controls, and engaging mechanics, while others criticize the restrictive key system that limits playtime and progression. Some players appreciate the new features and depth compared to the original, but feel that the game has shifted towards a pay-to-win model, detracting from the overall experience.

- “Solid gameplay, as expected from Flare.”
- “An overall enjoyable and easily understandable gameplay experience.”
- “Awesome gameplay, lots of fun.”
- “The entire first game's mechanics have been scrapped for a linear map loot-based system that is much harder, slower, and far more boring.”
- “Repetitive and unengaging - mechanics are not necessary to win, you can win by doing nothing or spamming buttons - each level is basically the same, and progression is linear and forced.”
- “The keys ruin the gameplay because you only have ten and you use them up really fast.”

The graphics of the game have received largely positive feedback, with many users praising the vibrant art style, smooth animations, and overall visual appeal. However, some players have expressed a desire for more customizable graphics options to enhance performance and reduce lag, particularly on lower-end devices. While the visuals are considered a significant improvement over the original game, there are calls for practical adjustments to optimize the gaming experience.
- “The graphics are clean, vivid, and fun.”
- “I love the graphics, it's so good, and gameplay is the best.”
- “Amazing game, good graphics and the gameplay is just so nice and fun.”
- “I usually get some other good equipment but not the one as advertised.. too much lag, this ground detail/motion makes for bad lag, plus need a graphics quality option to turn off animations and such.”
- “Great game, but 20-25 bucks (depends on the country) for 2 epics is too much. I need some graphics options too; it drains the battery way too much on an S7 Edge, and I want a smooth experience, especially with hordes and the corruption set combined + companion. The graphics were nice for a bit, now I want practicality.”
- “This game has bad graphics, plus when I tap the name it just makes me go back to the home and we should move on our own.”

The story aspect of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its complexity and engagement. However, many users express frustration with the energy system tied to keys, which limits gameplay and disrupts the flow of the story progression. While the storyline offers depth, the mechanics surrounding mission access and rewards detract from the overall experience, leading some to prefer the previous installment for its more accessible gameplay.
- “The storyline is more complex and provides more engagement on the player's part.”
- “Idk, it's a great game but not really an idle game anymore like the first one, but still good with much more character building and story.”
- “Very good game but needs updates for more story.”
- “If you are playing the story levels, you can't do much because you have to wait for keys.”
- “Chest takes too long to refresh, item drop rate very low, quest takes hours to refresh, like who would wait for 2 hours to get a quest???”
- “Well graphics are awesome even controls but this game sucks because to get a key you have to wait 15 minutes or more to get one. Chests are expensive and to get gold it's hard. With 10 keys you can't get anything, so I play but I delete it. I hope you will change some things like to have 50 keys or more and to get a key to be 5 minutes to wait, not 15.”
