The gameplay is generally praised for its solid mechanics and enjoyable mechanics, particularly in the battle royale context, with a unique treasure mechanic that enhances late-game experiences. However, players express frustration over the low player count, which hampers the overall experience and makes it difficult to engage in multiplayer matches. While the game features good graphics and smooth gameplay, there are calls for better tutorials and more content to sustain interest.
- “Built from the survival co-op game Out of Reach, launched back in 2015, Out of Reach: Treasure Royale makes some fantastic mechanical choices in an ever-evolving battle royale industry.”
- “Great mechanics, easy to learn, hard to master.”
- “This is a great game with fun gameplay.”
- “It would be appreciated to have a better introduction with a place where you can see what things do and what guns hold how many rounds, without being in the actual gameplay, as you feel a time pressure. It might be there and I just didn't find it, I don't know.”
- “I can't comment on if the game is fun or not, since literally only 4 people play it and won't even load a lobby, but just seeing the gun gameplay and the graphics from the lobby, it was really bad and I would not even play it if it was free.”
- “Would be nice to see this added for small battles with small ships in this instance, which would extend the gameplay at low player counts. Despite taking 2-4 people to run a ship, I've solo'd quite a bit and there's no reason why it couldn't work here too.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed to negative feedback, with many users noting issues such as dropped frames, rough visuals, and a dated appearance reminiscent of games from before 2005. While some players appreciated certain aspects like water graphics, the overall consensus is that the graphical quality is subpar and detracts from the gaming experience. Additionally, performance issues are exacerbated by poor optimization, leading to further dissatisfaction.

- “Quite nice graphics.”
- “+ decent graphics.”
- “The game dropped frames extremely badly, the graphics were rough, the music was out of sync with the graphics; in short, it was a mess.”
- “Spend some time shooting guns in the lobby because that is all I could do. The gun had no kick when zooming, and just some paint flashes came out of the barrel. Everything looked bland, and the graphics looked like they were from a game before 2005.”
- “I can't comment on if the game is fun or not, since literally only 4 people play it and it won't even load a lobby. But just seeing the gun gameplay and the graphics from the lobby, it was really, really bad, and I wouldn't even play it if it was free.”

Overall, the game appears to have persistent stability issues that can detract from the experience.

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for lacking effective advertising, which has contributed to a low player base. While players appreciate the developers' commitment to the game and do not view it as a cash grab, there is a strong sentiment that a free-to-play model with advertisements could significantly boost its popularity.
- “I'm sure if it was free to play and they threw advertisements on Facebook and Steam, they would pack the servers.”
- “Great game, but it doesn't have the player base at all. It's a shame really; they should do better advertising!”

- “Very interesting game, well optimized too!”
- “GPU settings are optimized, bots fill empty matchmaking slots, so now you always get the fullest experience.”

- “I played a little, and the truth is that the game is very poorly optimized for my mid-range PC.”
- “The GPU settings are optimized, but the matchmaking system is flawed, as bots fill empty slots, which detracts from the overall experience.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly in end-game scenarios where repetitive tasks, like resetting the altar, can become frustrating.

Overall, the grinding experience may require significant time investment, leading some to feel that it demands more effort than enjoyable gameplay.
