The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, with players frequently required to watch multiple ads to receive rewards, often leading to frustration due to bugs that prevent rewards from being granted. While there is an option to pay a one-time fee to remove ads, many users feel that the sheer volume of ads detracts significantly from the gameplay experience, making it feel more like an ad-watching simulator than a game. Overall, while some appreciate the ability to buy out ads, the overwhelming presence of ads and their inconsistent functionality are major points of contention among players.
“Thank you for fixing the in-game purchase.”
“Would like to purchase the no ads option, but it's way too expensive.”
“It's a pretty good game; it would be nice if there were fewer ads in the game.”
“Constant playing ads on top or bottom of the screen plus lots of ads while playing - this game is like an ads mine, so beware, plus it heats up your phone fast.”
“The game locks more than half of its content behind ads and the system is broken enough that sometimes if you do play ads it won't stick and you end up having to watch another ad before you get the item you wanted.”
“Too many ads and more than 5 times on count that the ads did not grant any reward.”

“Satisfying, addictive gameplay.”
“Gameplay is fun, graphics are great and it's a mobile game that is genuinely challenging and takes skill, which is rare these days.”
“The graphics and visuals are stunning and the gameplay is, simply put, perfect.”
“Do not download unless you like more ads than gameplay!!!”
“The UI/UX is soulless and generic, the gameplay loop is boring, and character progression is a slog just to watch numbers go up incrementally.”
“Gameplay is slow and lacks the thrill of a run-and-gun style play.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their aesthetic appeal and smooth performance, with many users noting the unique art style and vibrant visuals. However, there are significant concerns regarding the lack of graphics options, leading to performance issues such as frame rate drops and lag, especially on lower-end devices. Overall, while the graphics are considered above average for the genre, optimization and additional settings are needed to enhance the gaming experience.
“Gameplay is fun, graphics are great and it's a mobile game that is genuinely challenging and takes skill, which is rare these days.”
“The graphics and visuals are stunning and the gameplay is, simply put, perfect.”
“Beautiful music, excellent graphics, I would highly recommend installing this game.”
“Please fix the graphic designs on it. I end up sometimes not being able to see my gunshots nor the effects; they just don't want to load in, along with the light of the character. It doesn't even render anything, and the music ends up stopping when being played.”
“I'm using a Redmi Note 9, and I think this game still needs some graphic optimization. When a lot of enemies or bosses use their skills or attack moves, it feels a bit stuttery. I already chose to lower the graphic option to 30 fps, but it still has that problem.”
“The 60 fps mode doesn't feel like 60 fps. Stuttering boss animation, please add graphic options too, from high to low.”

The game's story aspect is generally criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players expressing a desire for more narrative elements, character development, and mission plots to enhance the gameplay experience. While some users appreciate the graphics and gameplay mechanics, they feel that the minimal storytelling leads to a repetitive and ultimately unsatisfying experience. Overall, the consensus is that the game would benefit significantly from a more robust and immersive storyline.
“A couple of different guns to choose from and cool power-ups and an interesting story.”
“Archero is just a simple game which players challenge to reach the deepest of the dungeon while Orderzero has a storyline that includes some cutscenes to make players blend into the story better.”
“Since the graphics and gameplay are good as well as the storyline.”
“Not much story or conversation from the unknown girl, or even notes to go over every so often, but the combat can go from trivial to challenging.”
“With nothing to work towards like characters, or a story, I will probably grow bored of it.”
“Pretty much zero story though.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some appreciate the addictive nature and smooth gameplay, many criticize it for being monotonous and repetitive, especially in later stages. The lack of variety in gear and the need to repeatedly farm levels can make the grind feel tedious, though some users express optimism about future updates that may enhance the experience. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable but heavily reliant on grinding, which can detract from the fun for some players.
“This game wasn't too grindy or complicated compared to other games out there.”
“The grinding in this game feels rewarding and balanced, making progress enjoyable.”
“I appreciate how the grind is integrated into the gameplay, allowing for a smooth progression.”
“The game is monotonously repetitive and grindy, and the roguelike system of perks is absolutely atrocious; it should be changed to a deliberate choice of advancement.”
“Decent game, but it becomes very grindy at later stages. You need at least a few dozen runs or real-life days to see some progress. It becomes quite tedious doing the same run endlessly at later stages.”
“I usually enjoy mass farming, but it's more of a chore than fun in this one.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players experiencing significant performance issues, particularly after a recent graphics overhaul.

“I would give this game 5 stars if the graphics were optimized.”
“However, performance issues cause me to not be able to play the second stage simply because of how slow it is.”

“Not well polished and not optimized. It needs big resources for such a simple game; 4GB of RAM and an SD600+ series chipset is not enough and suffers from framerate drops. What specs do you need, huh?”

Character development in the game is noted for its impressive design and aesthetics, but many players feel that it lacks depth, particularly in storytelling and character traits. The main character's mute nature and absence of a backstory are seen as missed opportunities, leaving players wanting more engagement with her personality and narrative. Overall, while the visual aspects are praised, the lack of substantial character development detracts from the experience.
“I love this game so much because the character design and skills are great. The gameplay, machine pets, and enemies are also impressive. If I could suggest adding themes for backgrounds and skins for pets, it would be amazing!”
“Pretty alright game, but I wish it had an actual story. The main girl deserves a name and real character traits because her amazing character design feels wasted on a mute.”
“Nice game with great character design.”
“The character development feels shallow and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
“I was disappointed by the lack of meaningful choices in character progression; it feels like I'm just going through the motions.”
