  • Well-designed skill trees and character customization options, including multiclassing that offer depth and replayability.
  • High-quality graphics and sound design with offline play support and minimal intrusive monetization, enhancing user experience.
  • Slow combat animations and progression pacing early in the game, resulting in a sluggish and repetitive experience for some players.
  • Limited skill slots (only 3 active at once) restrict build diversity and combat flexibility; no dodge or roll mechanic reduces fluidity in battles.
  • Technical issues such as game freezes, loading screen crashes, poor loot drop rate and scaling, and bugs that hinder smooth gameplay and progression.

    The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness, engaging combat, well-paced leveling, and good balance of challenge and fun, making it addictive and suitable for busy players. However, many users criticize the lack of a dodge or roll mechanic, stiff attack controls, repetitive or slow pacing in some parts, limited skill slots, and occasional pay-to-win elements, which can restrict depth and flexibility. Overall, while the game shows strong potential with satisfying core mechanics and customization, improvements in combat fluidity, skill resets, and gameplay variety are needed.

    • “Top down, hack and slash with good loot system, good story, awesome combat gameplay, customizable upgrades. I'm just breaking the surface but loving every minute.”
    • “The gameplay mechanics are intuitive yet offer remarkable depth, ensuring every moment is engaging and rewarding.”
    • “The combat system and exploration mechanics are particularly enjoyable, providing a good balance of challenge and fun.”
    • “After a couple of playthroughs and class choices, I'll break it down as: 1/5 maps – some are just plain dumb and too maze-like, taking over 1 hour to fully explore; 1/5 classes – they do not perform as expected; 0/5 gold drop – fully upgrading an item requires more gold than you earn from start to finish; 0/5 for some poorly thought bosses; 0/5 because you cannot cast skills while running; barely 2/5 stars overall.”
    • “- Gameplay boring; overloaded with stats, attributes, and mechanics, half of which do not work; second half of the build takes so much time that sooner or later you will have to pay money.”
    • “Lack of dodge mechanic makes it very hard to avoid enemy crowd control when engaging, especially if you're playing melee. Additionally, the character cannot cancel skills when trying to move away from enemies, making gameplay feel somewhat stiff.”
  • graphics

    The game’s graphics are widely praised for being visually appealing, modern, and well-detailed, often drawing favorable comparisons to Diablo and similar ARPGs. While many find the visuals smooth, vibrant, and immersive, some users note occasional optimization issues, a desire for camera adjustments, and minor animation flaws. Overall, the graphics significantly enhance the gameplay experience, contributing to player engagement despite occasional technical hiccups.

    • “The game is absolutely stunning, from graphics to gameplay.”
    • “The graphics and gameplay are smooth and stunning, and it’s super addictive.”
    • “Awesome graphics, plot, no glitches.”
    • “The graphics are still smooth when I'm in the crypt, but that's all. I cannot play anymore since I always get stuck on the loading screen whenever I change maps.”
    • “Also, too much focus was on graphics, little on combat. What's the point of a full swing animation lock for the basic attacks?”
    • “Game is too linear and too uninspired. You get thrown into the game and immediately you can tell it is like the Temu version of Diablo. The controls feel stiff while the ability animation takes 900 years before it decides to do its job, creep kill feels too lackluster and barely does anything, it feels draggy for the intro and the graphics are subpar for a 2025 mobile game.”
  • story

    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 52% neutral mentions, 15% negative mentions

    The story in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging, compelling, and well-crafted, while many others criticize it as repetitive, minimal, or nearly non-existent. Common criticisms highlight a lack of meaningful quests, poor narrative depth, and insufficient character or lore development, which leads to a gameplay experience focused heavily on combat with little story progression. Overall, players suggest that enhancing the story, adding more quest variety, and enriching lore would significantly improve the game's appeal.

    • “The storyline is masterfully crafted, drawing players into a world filled with compelling characters and challenging quests.”
    • “The story is quite good, has arena, something really close to Nephalem & Greater Rifts from Diablo 3, great gear progression, many classes to choose from.”
    • “A wonderful RPG with good story, tons of skills and loot.”
    • “The story is super boring, and the maps are massive and they're repeated over and over again.”
    • “Hi, this game crashes a lot and lacks story. I want villains or opponents who have dialogues. I feel like fighting demons and animals is a bit repetitive and boring. It would be fun to have a lot more NPCs, a few more villains with dialogues and actual skills like defense, guts, invincible, or magic-based skills.”
    • “Leveling is slow and there is almost no story or anything else besides killing stuff.”
  • monetization

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    37% positive mentions, 21% neutral mentions, 42% negative mentions

    The game's monetization is generally praised for its minimal impact, featuring no intrusive ads, no pay-to-win mechanics, and a mostly pay-once model, which users appreciate. However, certain key features and gear are tied to watching lengthy ads or using a spin wheel, which some players find frustrating and view as underhanded monetization tactics. Overall, the low-pressure approach is favored, but there is some dissatisfaction with the ad-reward system and locked content.

    • “No monetization attempts many hours in, no game-as-service nonsense, and a decent skill tree.”
    • “Adding dodge for the first time in the anima - oniro series is revolutionary in making oniro one of the top ARPG mobile games to download, not even considering its $0 price, no ads/paywalls, and low storage space.”
    • “Amazing gameplay and no ads unless you spin the wheel which is the best way to get me to watch ads.”
    • “Tired of underhanded monetization BS tactics!”
    • “Game is good but a key feature for any endgame build is locked behind a paywall and an obnoxious spin wheel where you can pay real money to spin, or watch an even more obnoxious advertisement.”
    • “Watch ads that are 1 to 2 minutes long to get nothing good.”
  • grinding

    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is notably slow, tedious, and often repetitive due to large, empty maps and slow leveling, which can frustrate players, especially early on. However, the farming and grinding mechanics also provide a rewarding challenge for dedicated players who enjoy persistence and progression without pay-to-win elements. While some find the grind tedious enough to uninstall, others appreciate it as a core part of the game's addictive loop.

    • “The game has a nice ARPG atmosphere, but the loop is tedious.”
    • “Levelling up is slow and tedious.”
    • “Which includes the very slow levelling and grinding at early parts of the game.”
  • stability

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    6% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 94% negative mentions

    Stability issues are frequently reported, with many users experiencing game freezes, crashes, and glitches during map transitions, skill use, and menus. Despite good graphics and an engaging plot, these stability problems negatively impact gameplay and require urgent fixes to improve the overall experience.

    • “With the latest update, the character freezes in the middle of the game.”
    • “Game is amazing but in the stage after the prison escape, the game glitches out and crashes. The grass blinks vivid red, green and yellow; the closer you get to it, the slower it goes, then it crashes.”
    • “Control is unresponsive, sometimes it freezes mid-fight and I have to close and reopen the game.”
  • optimization

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game's optimization receives mixed feedback, with smooth performance and decent graphics on many devices, including older ones, but also notable issues such as bugs, poor scaling, and subpar optimization on low-end hardware. Players acknowledge the game's potential but call for improvements in performance stability, UI design, and control responsiveness. Overall, while running fairly well, the game requires further technical polish and optimization to enhance experience across all devices.

    • “Graphics are nice, content is plenty, the game runs smoothly, no glitching, no bugs, never got a loading issue or a freeze.”
    • “Gameplay loop remains the same with bigger campaign, more complex skill tree and great presentation and performance.”
    • “And it runs smoothly on old device.”
    • “While a potential good game for the genre, it totally still lacks technical reviews and overall better performance.”
    • “Good development till now, loot drop rate has to be improved by a ton very poor drops rates, UI design needs to be improved, requires an actual story line instead of going through a few different environments and calling it done, no proper scaling of items, poor optimization for low end devices, bosses drop rate has to be improved, no proper scaling here, reward item boxes drop rate has to be improved a lot, gambling UI is poor, lot of quality of life improvements required.”
    • “Please kindly consider working on control optimization.”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The game offers considerable replay value with its extensive content, appealing graphics, music, and skill tree. However, some players find it can become repetitive and less engaging over time. Overall, replayability is generally strong but may vary based on personal preference.

    • “Huge, long, and great replay value.”
    • “Great replayability with impressive graphics, music, and skill tree.”
    • “Unfortunately, in my opinion, the game lacks replay value and can get a bit boring.”

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
