The gameplay is a mix of engaging combat and character-building mechanics reminiscent of classic MMORPGs, though it can feel repetitive and grindy due to forced encounters and a heavy focus on grinding. While some players find the gameplay boring, others appreciate its depth, RPG elements, and the ability to cater to different playstyles, with a notable mention of challenging fights that require preparation. Overall, the game offers a blend of interesting mechanics and art, making it a standout in its genre despite some criticisms.
“Everything about it is better than I originally thought; the gameplay is more involved and interesting with an RPG system and battle mechanics somewhat reminiscent of Karryn's Prison. The plot, character, and world-building are deeper than I anticipated, and the artwork is both better looking and more gratifying than any of the store page images could show.”
“The art is nice, and the gameplay is good and deep enough for different playstyles.”
“The story and gameplay in the Pokémon-style game are quite interesting, but the game can feel quite repetitive, as there are many forced encounters where monsters constantly get in your way.”
“The gameplay is certainly grindy, but that comes from the design of building your character and mostly mimics the original MMORPG.”
“Probably going to spend more time grinding if anything, and the catching mechanic can be a nightmare.”
