The story aspect of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the organized and varied quests, as well as the engaging narrative elements facilitated by the app. However, there are frustrations regarding the absence of existing campaigns from the quest books in the app, which limits cooperative play options and exploration due to time constraints. While some quests may feel too easy or inconsistent in difficulty, the overall experience remains enjoyable, with players eager for more content.
- “Very good and very organized quests and campaigns generally.”
- “Automating the overlord, keeping track of your campaign's gold, experience, equipment, and even adding neat role-playing and story-driven encounters in the game world make this a must-have.”
- “Now it's at least once a week, more if I feel an itch and want to play solo :D The quests seem interesting and varied, I love the fact the app handles your inventory and skills, and I love the thrill when you open a new door in the dungeon, and end up staring into the maw of a shadow dragon XD I can't wait for more!”
- “I wanted to use the app to play through the quests in the guide as co-op with my wife and learn to play the game, but instead we ended up playing against each other as I took the role of overlord.”
- “Exploration is discouraged because each quest is put on a time limit, but at the same time, if you don't explore, the game punishes you by increasing the difficulty exponentially.”
- “I love the idea of the app, but the only thing I don't like is how the campaigns that already exist in the quest books aren't in the app. Please put the quest books in the app.”

The gameplay mechanics are well-designed, but the "one vs many" format may alienate players who prefer cooperative or solo experiences, leaving some content underutilized. Additionally, reliance on community modifications can detract from the game's core immersion.
- “The mechanics of the game are great, but I've never been a fan of 'one vs many' games.”
- “There are people like me who have most of the box campaigns, heirs of blood, but can never play them co-op/solo, so all that amazing content is just gathering dust. Using community additions such as Redjak takes away from the core gameplay and immersion.”
