The story is criticized for being overshadowed by a heavy emphasis on in-game purchases and a lack of depth, with novice quests serving primarily as tutorials that fail to engage players meaningfully. The gameplay is described as repetitive and dominated by auto-battling mechanics, with numerous currencies and constant prompts to spend real money, detracting from any narrative experience.
- “The novice quests kind of just show you the gist of it, but in no real detail.”
- “It's pure auto battling nonsense with 7000 different currencies to upgrade your 7000 different abilities and components, spamming you with generic auto battle quests that are some kind of attempt at a tutorial.”
- “Constant popups and quests that involve rerouting you to the cash shop, or daily spins that you can tweak with real money.”

- “While the trailer music makes you think it's going to be Metal Gear Revengeance, it's just another Chinese game that plays itself.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by its quirky class options, such as an epic barbarian and a psychic elf warlock, alongside the absurdity of playing as a "football player," which adds a lighthearted and comedic touch to the gameplay experience.
- “The classes made me laugh; you can be an epic barbarian with a giant axe, an elf psychic warlock with deadly spells, or you can simply be a 'football player'—no kidding!”
