  • gameplay
    74 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating its simplicity, depth, and engaging mechanics, particularly in character customization and dungeon exploration. However, some find it repetitive and grindy, with a need for clearer tutorials and more diverse gameplay elements. Overall, while the game offers a fun and enjoyable experience, improvements in the gameplay loop and mechanics could enhance its appeal further.

    • “The early game is very fun and it's easy to learn and utilize each of the game's many mechanics.”
    • “Great fun, surprising depth, and creative gameplay.”
    • “Fun gameplay loop, anti-p2w dev, tons of customization, and I can tell this is just the start.”
    • “Not bad, it's for a specific kind of gamer though. I didn't really enjoy the combat system; it was a bit vague regarding each ability's two engaging modes (at least for the fighter class). It seemed as if only one mode was worth using (parrying). Also, while the fighting mechanics are very simple (by design evidently), it gets boring easily.”
    • “Things I believe can be improved: the gameplay loop, while fun, is a bit monotonous, what with only two PvE zones.”
    • “Fun to click through for a couple of minutes, but the gameplay is very repetitive and grindy.”
  • monetization
    67 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is highly praised, with users consistently noting the absence of ads and intrusive monetization tactics. Players appreciate that the game is free-to-play without pay-to-win elements, and any in-app purchases are optional and primarily cosmetic. Overall, the lack of ads and pressure to spend money enhances the gaming experience, making it a refreshing alternative in the mobile gaming landscape.

    • “Monetization isn't intrusive and is totally optional; there is multiplayer.”
    • “The microtransactions are neither intrusive nor overpriced, the gameplay is simple but also has depth, and the equipment/leveling system is well-balanced, as are all the different classes.”
    • “I also really appreciate that the only in-app purchases are cosmetic and completely irrelevant to having the best character.”
    • “It feels a bit slow, especially at the beginning, and as if the only way to really progress in the game is by making in-app purchases and buying extras and accessories and the like.”
    • “The main purpose of the app is to get you to watch ads.”
    • “Pretty bad game that only exists to harvest your personal information and microtransactions.”
  • grinding
    57 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that the game features a significant amount of grinding, which some players find enjoyable and rewarding, while others consider it tedious and repetitive. Many appreciate the lack of ads and the flexibility in leveling paths, though concerns about the grind becoming overwhelming or leading to a halt in progression are common. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a double-edged sword, contributing to the game's charm for some, while frustrating others.

    • “To me, it's the best mobile turn-based game I've played so far. No forced ads, not very grindy, and great gameplay mechanics.”
    • “You are able to progress at a decent pace. The game doesn't feel like you have to grind (well, you have to grind, but it's not tedious or annoying), and I spend a lot of time on my phone on basically just this game.”
    • “So far, it seems like it is not too grindy, with upgrades and new items just around every corner.”
    • “Fun to click through for a couple of minutes, but the gameplay is very repetitive and grindy.”
    • “It made leveling come to a grinding halt, pun intended.”
    • “An absolutely ungodly amount of grinding to get to the next lot of dungeons.”

    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players express a strong desire for more music and sound effects in the game, with many noting the current soundtrack is either too short or non-existent, leading to a lack of immersion.

Despite these criticisms, a few players appreciate the music that is present, indicating a mixed reception regarding this aspect.

    • “The game is amazing, the music, artwork, even the animation is stunning.”

  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for being minimal or non-existent, with several users noting that it feels more like a grind than a narrative experience. While some players find the gameplay enjoyable and immersive, they express a desire for a more developed storyline and additional content in the future. Overall, the lack of a compelling story does not detract significantly from the fun factor for many players.

    • “Very fun and immersive with different paths and skills. I wish to see this game grow in the future and possibly get more animations and more of a story to go along the way.”
    • “The tutorial(s) also just feel overbearing at the start; clicking a button should hopefully not need a tutorial. Story is a good start as well, I'd say.”
    • “I love this and Quest of Dungeons a lot.”
    • “It's pure grind with no story whatsoever, but I'll still give it a 4-star as it looks like a one-man job.”

However, some players criticize the experience due to language barriers and coding issues that hinder understanding of the mechanics, leading to frustration in character progression.
