The game's story is generally described as interesting and engaging, with good character growth and a nostalgic feel reminiscent of MapleStory. However, many players criticize the repetitive fetch and kill quest structure, along with the intrusive auto-play mechanics that detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the visuals and content, the overwhelming presence of auto-quest features and lack of meaningful player control have led to frustration among users.
“Other than that, loads of content, interesting story, good character growth, and great visuals.”
“The characters are adorable, the story is fantastic, all the pets that help with your stats are awesome, you can even play as your pet and level it.”
“Great graphics, good storyline, best RPG game I found for mobile. I am truly satisfied with the gameplay; it's worth playing in free time.”
“The game is basically playing itself; I have no control except choosing a character or selecting a mission.”
“It's just a terrible ripoff of MapleStory.”
“Boring; all you do is the same type of mission over and over, and when I finally got around level 220, the mission just became too hard; it takes about 5 minutes to kill a mob.”

Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of experiences, with some players enjoying the automatic mechanics and overall fun, while others find the clunky controls and reliance on ads frustrating. Many appreciate the game's graphics and storyline, but there are concerns about the lack of player control and the impact of recent updates on saved progress. Overall, the gameplay is described as simple and relaxing, reminiscent of titles like MapleStory, though some players feel it leans too heavily on pay-to-win elements.
“It is a super fun game and has a good story overall. The mechanics in this game aren't handed to you on a platter with directions next to them; you have to play with everything to figure out what everything does. If you can't figure it out, just ask the Discord group; they are all very helpful and it's an amazing place to go to figure classes out.”
“Gameplay wise, the game is fun; it doesn't seem to be heavily pay-to-win for the first 120 levels at least.”
“Awesome gameplay! I love the original look.”
“Seeing as several different types of game mechanics as well as quests all seem to hinge on watching ads, this is obnoxious and unacceptable.”
“Controls are very clunky; that's why it's a massive auto gameplay.”
“Now the main point of why it's unplayable: the gameplay is basically automatic. If you click on the quest, the character will do everything for you literally; you just need to accept and complete quests.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being overly aggressive, with many users expressing frustration over the prevalence of ads, paywalls, and microtransactions.

“It feels like a Maplestory clone, microtransactions and all.”

“Seeing as several different types of game mechanics as well as pass quests all seem to hinge on watching ads, this is obnoxious and unacceptable.”

The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant lag, frequent freezes, and crashes that hinder gameplay. While some users appreciate the clear UI and overall fun experience, the prevalence of glitches and performance issues, particularly on startup, has led to frustration and difficulty in progressing through the game. Overall, it appears that the game is still in need of optimization to improve stability.

“The game offers a fast and expansive experience that feels like a never-ending sea of improvements, much like building a rocket.”
“Despite occasional lag, the overall stability of the game is impressive, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable experience.”

“I can't even play the game; I get to the tap screen to start part of the intro, and then a white square shows up but has no image, freezes my phone, and then closes itself.”
“Whenever I click start, the event page pops up and then the game freezes every time, so I have yet to be able to get past the start screen.”

The game's optimization is a significant concern for many users, with reports of frequent FPS drops and overheating issues, even when settings are adjusted. While some players experience smooth performance, others suggest that better optimization and battery-saving features are necessary for an enjoyable experience across a wider range of devices.
“Haven't had any problems; it runs smoothly for me.”
“It's fun; the only problem is its optimization. My phone becomes incredibly hot even if turning off all effects in settings. You have to play this in your emulator to enjoy it without having battery problems. There should be a battery saving option in this game; it's 2021, every game has it, you should too.”
“It's a really good game; however, it needs optimization very badly. My phone may not be the best, but I can run Dragon Raja almost completely lag-free.”
“The game has great potential, but the optimization is severely lacking, leading to frequent crashes and long loading times.”
“I love the gameplay, but the performance issues make it almost unplayable at times. The developers really need to focus on optimization.”
