- “Here before me a hero or so the story goes”
- “Hope I'm a good part of your story”
- “There's no story, but that's fine.”
- “It is a very basic dungeon crawler, no high-end graphics, deep storyline, long list of abilities... just a classic dungeon crawler brought to VR.”
- “I mean, being a quest port by itself is annoying, as you get very limited games due to quest hardware, but the lazy ones are the most annoying.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics, great animations, and an engaging loop, with easy access to skins.

- “Falls apart right after you understand the mechanics, so in about 2 hours.”
- “Skins are obtainable easily, in terms of a few hours of regular gameplay.”

The monetization strategy has drawn significant criticism, particularly for the inclusion of ads in the main menu of a paid game, which many players find unacceptable. Promises to remove these ads have not been fulfilled, leading to frustration and a loss of trust in the developers.
- “They also promised in another review that they would 'remove ads from the main menu screen in the next patch' - they did not remove the ads as promised, so their word officially means nothing.”
- “I would not have left a negative review, but the final straw was the audacity of the developers to put ads in the main menu of a 15 euro game.”
- “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, especially considering the price of the game.”

Overall, players find the game runs smoothly with easy controls and gestures; however, frustrations arise from the quest binding limitations and over-culling optimization issues, particularly given the game's mobile origins on a gaming PC.
- “The controls and gestures are easy to master, and the game runs smoothly without any hiccups.”
- “The optimization is impressive, allowing for seamless gameplay even on lower-end devices.”
- “I appreciate how well the game is optimized; it maintains a high frame rate and responsive controls.”
- “Quest binding only in the UI is pretty frustrating already, but having to handle on top of that the stupid over-culling optimization for what's a mobile game on a gaming PC, culling that probably happens because of the non-quest FOV, and no usage of anything the quest does not have is really irritating.”
- “The optimization feels half-baked, leading to frequent frame drops and stuttering, which ruins the overall experience.”
- “It's disappointing to see such poor optimization; the game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate even on high-end hardware.”

- “Great game, bug-free, fantastic replayability.”
- “The game runs smoothly without any crashes or glitches.”
- “I appreciate how stable the gameplay is; it allows for an immersive experience.”
- “The game is very buggy. In the 100 minutes I have played so far, I have encountered plenty of game-breaking bugs, including being unable to open the final dungeon chest, enemies being invisible and invincible, being locked out of boss rooms and mini-boss rooms, and being unable to progress in the 3rd dungeon because of an enemy that didn't spawn. There are also tons of visual bugs.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, with frustratingly repetitive item drops and a lackluster multiplayer experience. The endgame primarily revolves around relentless farming for minimal rewards, leading to a sense of monotony and dissatisfaction.
- “Do not forget the very grindy nature of the game with insulting drops (you hated this bow? Let's have it 3 times this run! Still better than having 3 chests and no key though) and a very poor multiplayer system for playing with strangers.”
- “The endgame is just praying for a super drop or farming endlessly for tiny bits of currency to get a super weapon.”
- “The guy is like super tall, so even outside of combat is tedious at best.”
