The monetization in the game features microtransactions that primarily offer cosmetic items and boosts to free-to-play currencies, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money. While some users express concerns about the game's design being influenced by monetization, many agree that it does not negatively impact gameplay, and the pricing of microtransaction packs is considered reasonable. Overall, players can progress without spending, although the presence of microtransactions is notable.
- “I don't understand all the people hating because of the microtransactions; gameplay is still completely normal and playable without them.”
- “Microtransactions surprisingly don't make the game pay-to-win as it costs 100 gems for 2 hours of double XP, but you normally earn about 125 gems in 2 hours, so it's free double XP, and everything else in the shop is cosmetic.”
- “There are microtransactions, but I've gotten through the game so far quite easily without them, and the pack sizes are very player-friendly and not abusively priced.”
- “Microtransactions stop this cute dungeon crawler from being great.”
- “If I had to guess, I think many of these problems stem from the game being designed around monetization.”
- “A great amount of effort was put into implementing microtransactions, dailies, leaderboards, and anti-cheat that could have been put towards graphics and core gameplay mechanics.”

The story aspect of the game is described as minimal and lacking a clear narrative or conclusion, with players primarily engaging in quests and grinding for rewards. While some reviews highlight immersive graphics and deep NPC interactions, the overall sentiment suggests that the story is not a central focus, with many players more invested in gameplay mechanics than in the narrative itself. Future updates may promise a more developed story, but currently, it feels incomplete.
- “Great next-gen graphics, immersive and compelling story, deep NPCs.”
- “Overall though, the quest system is nice and passive and you can pick and choose which ones you'll take.”
- “For example, the caves dungeon gives you lots of minerals you need to upgrade your items, while the library-like castle dungeon has bookshelves that give you quest experience you can spend on special perks.”
- “The only reason to keep playing is to grind quests to make numbers go up.”
- “Some of the quests are horrible, but the option to reroll them is there for a reason.”
- “There's no story or ending yet, but from what I can tell that's coming eventually.”
