- “I love this game; it has like no ads and it's addictive.”
- “No ads, engaging gameplay.”

- “Constant forced ads are a pain but the real problem is the unreasonable amount of time it takes to restore food (energy) to be able to even do anything, it makes the game unplayable.”
- “The reason I'm only giving it 2 stars is because they offer ads to boost your rewards for battles only when you're low on food, so you can't battle; that's some shady stuff.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with players appreciating the strategic elements and various features but expressing frustration over the limited number of quests and lack of clear instructions for completing them.

Overall, while the foundation is seen as promising, there is a strong call for more content and clearer guidance to improve the storytelling experience.
- “Barely any ads, you're making a bunch of cool stuff such as alchemy labs and things of that sort, there's also that interesting weapon modifier, a story mode, chests, and a lot more.”
