The gameplay has been widely criticized for being boring and simplistic, often compared to outdated flash games, with a lack of engaging mechanics and a stock storyline. While some players find it addictive and enjoyable in a mindless way, many agree that it fails to deliver on its promises and is not worth its current price. Overall, the game is seen as lacking depth and originality, making it a disappointing experience for most.
- “Addictive gameplay, has that, 'just one more go..' feeling.”
- “[note]: it is not what the vendor has described it as, there are no rogue-like components, it is a simplistic flash game that has some elements of gameplay that are fun.”
- “Maybe at $5 or less... if you like building characters and don't mind the 'mindless' gameplay, then check it out on sale only!!!”
- “Boring, disengaging gameplay coupled with an insanely stock storyline. This is a tiring sit for all the wrong reasons, and the price it's currently at (£1.74) is arguably too expensive for what amounts to something less complex than what would be found on Newgrounds 10 years ago.”
- “The story is quite unremarkable (if even existent). The whole game mechanics don't share much but a few keywords with the TDE world, and if you played some of the other titles from this developer, you realize where many of the graphic resources come from and why they don't really seem to fit the game's proclaimed universe.”
- “Speaking of 'adventure,' the game has only one mechanic: click to start the fight.”

The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and unremarkable, often described as a generic plot involving a kidnapped woman and a tedious grind to save her. Players note a lack of depth and engagement, with the narrative failing to connect meaningfully to the game's world or mechanics. Overall, the storytelling is seen as a significant weakness, detracting from the overall experience.
- “The story is quite unremarkable (if even existent), the whole game mechanics don't share much but a few keywords with the TDE world, and if you played some of the other titles of this developer, you realize where many of the graphic resources come from, and why they don't really seem to fit the game's proclaimed universe.”
- “Well, there is almost no story to speak of, and the game seems to be only superficially related to the world of Aventuria as far as I can tell, but the main problem with this game is the excessive degree of grinding required to reach the end.”
- “With very little storyline (woman kidnapped, train up to save her, save her, done).”

The game is heavily focused on grinding, with many players noting that it can become excessively repetitive, especially if character stats are not optimized. The lack of a compelling story further exacerbates the grind, making the experience feel monotonous as players farm for items and progress. Overall, while some find it entertaining, the grinding aspect is a significant drawback for many.
- “Well, there is almost no story to speak of, and the game seems to be only superficially related to the world of Aventuria as far as I can tell, but the main problem with this game is the excessive degree of grinding required to reach the end.”
- “Skilltree Saga is reasonably entertaining, although very repetitive and grindy towards the end of the game.”
- “It can get grindy if you build your hero's stats wrong and need to farm the shop for the right items.”

The graphics are described as classic point-and-click adventure style, which some players find charming but ultimately not impactful on gameplay. While the visual style is considered nice, it is criticized for feeling recycled from previous titles by the same developer, leading to a disconnect with the game's intended universe. Overall, the graphics are seen as adequate for a casual RPG but not worth the price tag, especially when similar experiences are available for free elsewhere.
- “The graphic style is quite nice but not contributing to the gameplay.”
- “The graphics are reminiscent of classic point-and-click adventure games, which adds a nostalgic charm to the experience.”
- “The visuals have a fun, flash-type RPG aesthetic that appeals to fans of the genre.”
- “The story is quite unremarkable (if even existent), the whole game mechanics don't share much but a few keywords with the TDE world, and if you played some of the other titles from this developer, you realize where many of the graphic resources come from, and why they don't really seem to fit the game's proclaimed universe.”
- “This is hard for me to do this review, because on the one hand it is good for what it is, a fun little flash-type RPG, with classic point-and-click style adventure game graphics. On the other hand, it really is not worth the $9.99 for a game the likes of which you can play free through other sources. When you move around the world map, it costs so much gold, and when you encounter an enemy, the graphics are like a point-and-click adventure (on the map too, as well as in the city).”

The music in the game has been criticized for being reused from a previous title, "Grotesque," leading to a perception of it as uninspired and lacking originality. Overall, it has been described as disappointing, contributing to a negative impression of the game's overall quality.
- “Most of the music I heard, in the few hours I played so far, seems to be reused from Grotesque as well.”
- “Awful gameplay, awful art, awful music.”
atmosphere
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The atmosphere of the game is noted to be less immersive compared to alternatives like Drakensang, which offers a deeper role-playing experience in a more atmospheric world. Users suggest that for those seeking a rich and engaging environment, exploring other titles may be more rewarding.
- “If you are looking for a real roleplay experience in the deep and atmospheric world of TDE, you are better off finding Drakensang or one of its successors for the same price in a budget pyramid.”
