The monetization model of the game is primarily based on optional ads, which players can choose to watch for rewards, making it possible to progress without viewing any ads at all. However, many users express frustration over the high cost of the monthly subscription to remove ads, as well as the perception that gameplay rewards are often less valuable than those gained from watching ads. Overall, while the game is praised for not forcing ads on players, the reliance on optional ads for progression and the expensive subscription model are common points of contention.
“It has almost no ads and great graphics.”
“The membership pass for no ads is relatively expensive because it is not permanent.”
“Good game but what I hate is why not have no ads permanent, not monthly.”
“One crucial flaw with this game though is that there are too many places that offer rewards for 30-second ads, especially for spins which have high probabilities of getting a certain low reward.”
“After playing for a while, I'm starting to hit the progression walls where you either spend 50% of your time watching ads or pay $10 for a pass that lasts for 28 days for some reason for an indie game that you probably can buy for the same price or less on Steam.”
“You do need to spend $10 a month to not have ads (you will spend a lot of time watching ads if you don't pay to get rid of them) but other than that I love this game!”

The gameplay is generally praised for being fun, engaging, and visually appealing, with many players appreciating its casual nature and lack of forced ads. However, some users note that the side-scrolling "hack and slash" mechanics can become repetitive, and there are concerns about bugs, intrusive tutorials, and a reliance on ads for progression. Overall, while the game offers enjoyable mechanics and cute art, it could benefit from more variety and polish to enhance the experience.
“Interesting gameplay, no forced ads, and progression is easily possible without spending a penny of real money.”
“Great game with fun gameplay that doesn't bombard you with ads.”
“Very fun super nice, it's a casual offline game that's very easy to play, gets a bit harder which I like, making sure the game is endless, barely any ads, fun heroes, and gameplay would recommend.”
“Currently, the gameplay feels stagnant.”
“Rewards for gameplay are negligible compared to watching ads.”
“Any gameplay progress (upgrading slime, equipment, etc.) seems to be from spamming ads.”

The story aspect of the game "Legend of Slime" is generally well-received, with players enjoying its engaging narrative and interactive quests. However, many users report frustrating bugs and progression issues that hinder their experience, suggesting that improvements in quest mechanics and additional storyline content could enhance the overall enjoyment. Overall, while the foundation is appreciated, there is a strong desire for more polish and depth in the storytelling elements.
“This game is a great companion for the story of Legend of Slime.”
“Enjoyed Slime Legend, Slime Quest is very fun, very interactive, and will definitely keep you busy.”
“If as much work was put into Slime Quest as your idle game Legend of Slime, this game would be five stars and Editor's Choice if it included half the playable slimes and the bugs worked out.”
“So if I finish all 100 stages, I can't complete any quests anymore. At least you should let us repeat some stages to complete daily quests and main quests.”
“Try to add more stuff and storyline to keep the game fresh.”

“I would like the ability to change the music style; it gets old even though it's not bad.”

“Can't turn off music in settings until fully completed the tutorial.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, particularly in later chapters, with many upgrades requiring significant time investment or microtransactions. Despite this, some users appreciate the engaging gameplay and cute art style, making the grinding experience more enjoyable when played with friends. However, issues like ad interruptions can detract from the overall experience.
“If my game closes because of ads failing to load and I continue the fight, I lose all progress. The game is way too grindy, all while ads to buy their microtransactions are in your face every time you try to progress.”
“Overwhelming, though, especially the grinding in chapter 6.”
“Excellent game, but most upgrades require either a lot of grinding or purchasing.”

The game's stability has been a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent glitches and crashes, particularly when attempting to access certain features or during gameplay. While players appreciate the overall experience and character design, the persistent bugs detract from their enjoyment, leading to requests for fixes to improve stability. Overall, the game feels unfinished to some, resembling a beta version due to its instability.
“Overall this game is very good, it has cute characters, I am not bombarded with ads, etc. The only problem is when I tap 'Get All' on the book, the game just freezes and the music continues even if I close it. Please fix it and I'll rate you 5 stars.”
“I like the game, the gameplay is simple and easy to understand but also interesting enough to keep my attention. It is very buggy though; I'll click to watch a video to get additional upgrades or materials and the game will crash. It has also crashed several times during the campaign, and I am playing on a flagship phone that usually holds out well compared to more demanding games. Fix these issues and it would be an easy 5.”
“It feels like a beta version, though, as the game is extremely buggy.”
