The graphics in the game have received widespread praise for their vibrant art style, smooth animations, and overall visual appeal, often compared favorably to other titles in the genre. However, some players have reported performance issues, such as frame drops and a lack of adjustable graphic settings, which can hinder gameplay on lower-end devices. Overall, while the graphics are generally considered excellent, there are calls for optimization and more customization options to enhance the experience.

“Great graphics, gameplay etc.... keep up the good work.”

“The only problem I have with it is that it runs a little laggy on my device; maybe some graphic options would be nice.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the lack of forced ads and the option to watch ads for rewards. However, some users express frustration over intrusive or glitchy ads that disrupt gameplay, as well as a pay-to-win model that can hinder progress without spending money. Overall, while the game is generally seen as fair in its monetization approach, there are calls for improvements, such as the option to remove ads entirely or address technical issues related to ad loading.
“Surprisingly fun, and I enjoy that while helpful, the microtransactions aren't required to progress.”
“An actual decent, free mobile game that isn't outrageous with the prices on their microtransactions.”
“And although microtransactions are present, they are 100% optional.”
“It's just a cash grab with an extremely heavy pay-to-win aftertaste.”
“Now it is getting annoying - more ads, bosses are super tanky even when the level says easy, seems like they are forcing me to spend money.”
“Getting heroes and elements is nearly unattainable without in-game currency or in-app purchases.”

The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal or non-existent, with many players expressing frustration over the repetitive and difficult quest system that detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the engaging graphics and potential for a deeper narrative, the lack of a compelling storyline and the overwhelming difficulty of side quests leave many feeling disappointed. Overall, the game is seen as fun but ultimately lacking in meaningful story content.
“The graphics are great, amazing story and concept, it doesn't crash, no pop up ads and it's fun to play... just perfect.”
“The storyline is engaging enough.”
“Really enjoy the scenery and story.”
“There is no story.”
“Beautiful, with decent gameplay (simple, one-handed, good), but no story or adventure.”
“I like the style of gameplay very reminiscent of Zelda for the Super Nintendo; unfortunately, unlike Zelda, there is no puzzle solving and the story is practically non-existent. This game has the makings of a solid gold game of the year, but I give it 4 stars because it literally comes up short of being great. It's good, it could be great.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, black screens, and glitches that disrupt gameplay, often requiring a complete restart of the app. While some players note that bugs are rare, many express frustration over the game's tendency to freeze during critical moments, leading to lost progress and energy. Overall, the stability issues detract from an otherwise enjoyable gaming experience.

“I would give this game 5 stars if it weren't for the bugs, especially during boss fights where the boss can escape the arena.”
“The stability issues are frustrating, and I won't download this game again until it is completely glitch and bug free.”
“There is one where it just turns into a black screen and you can't do anything, and have to restart the level, wasting time. It's a real pain when it's a limited time quest; more buggy content.”
“The game randomly freezes up, and sometimes I can't get it to continue working without a complete app shutdown.”
“Game freezes too often.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and often tedious, particularly due to limited gear variety and exponential upgrade requirements. While some enjoy the progression through rotating events and find the initial gameplay engaging, many express frustration with repetitive maps and the lack of meaningful variety in grinding activities. Additionally, the inability to save progress can exacerbate the grind, leading to a mixed reception overall.
“The variety of gear is limited, the upgrades are exponential making the game very grindy, and difficulty depends on gear and character level, so difficulty rarely feels right - usually a level is too easy or too hard.”
“Fun game initially, however it becomes grindy really quickly without offering variety in the grind or ability to auto spend energy.”
“It doesn't feel like grinding losing attempts until you level enough or luck into a build.”
