- “The gameplay has some charms, even if it's not meant for the majority of people.”
- “The gameplay isn't meant for the majority of people (hunting and progression) but has some charms.”

- “Tldr: cute game with lovely art style; needs some kind of guidance on the main menu to select and change controls, if the main ones are too tricky for a player to use.”
- “Also, whenever the screen moves, it feels a little jittery, but I think that may just be part of the art style, so I didn't mind it too much.”
- “This game is humble and comes with pixel art state graphics!”

The story mode offers a structured progression system with a skill tree, making it a recommended starting point for players. However, some users have reported persistent bugs that detract from the experience, and the overall gameplay across the three modes—story, freeplay, and PvP—feels quite similar.
- “+ skill and season progression (in story mode)”
- “I completed the tutorial on single player thinking it was just a bug for that scenario, but on the second part of the story mode the problems still happened.”
- “Additionally, there are 3 different modes which include the story, freeplay, and PvP, but they more or less play the same way.”
- “I would recommend playing the story mode first because it has a skill tree progression between the stages.”
