The gameplay of "Seven Knights 2" has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its graphics and story but criticizing the gameplay for being overly simplistic and heavily reliant on auto-play mechanics.

Users report high prices for microtransactions, frequent ads, and a pay-to-win structure that detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the game's monetization practices have resulted in significant dissatisfaction among players, with calls for improvements and more player-friendly pricing.

“The game's monetization is a little aggressive and on the high side of pricing.”

The humor in the game is often described as unintentional, with players finding the absurdity of its mechanics, pricing, and pay-to-win elements to be both appalling and amusing. Many reviews highlight the ridiculousness of the game's systems, such as the high costs for in-game items and the frustratingly low rates for obtaining rare heroes, leading to a comedic experience that feels more like a parody of itself. Overall, while the game has solid graphics and an interesting story, the humor primarily stems from its flaws and the exaggerated nature of its monetization strategies.
“Ruby package prices are hilarious, $100 for 1 legendary, yeah okay bud.”
“People have gone 50+ pulls straight without even a single rare hero, which is funny because you need a ton of dupes to raise a hero's level cap to max. Thanks, Netmarble!”
“It is hands down the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen; I'm appalled and humored at the incredulous caricature it is of itself.”

The emotional aspect of the game "Wohhh" is described as painful and heart-breaking, reflecting themes of hard work and struggle common in Korean narratives.

Players suggest that the emotional impact is not enough to redeem the game's shortcomings compared to other titles.
“Wohhh, it's painfully heart-breaking, like most Korean games reflecting its country and the hard work every day.”
“Overall pretty boring game; the characters are all ugly except Miss Velvet, but the rest all look like generic Korean MMO characters. Pretty weak gacha, boring story, awful English dub, boring gameplay. Just another pay-to-win game. You should rather play a game like FGO or Azur Lane than this garbage.”
“Boring story so far.”
