The gameplay is generally described as easy and intuitive, with some players appreciating its fun story and free-to-play friendliness despite the presence of pay-to-win elements. However, many users report significant issues, including frequent crashes, bugs, and a lack of unique mechanics, leading to frustration and disappointment. Overall, while some enjoy the gameplay experience, others find it uninspiring and plagued by technical problems.
“Gameplay is easy and intuitive.”
“A simple yet quite deep mechanic idle game.”
“Unique story, and good gameplay, hope the dev hires some voice actors to voice the lines though.”
“Unfortunately, upon trying to resume playing, I continued to receive the termination error, and I am worried that the progress of my 32 days of gameplay may be lost.”
“I was really surprised how this game has such a terrible rating, just go through the tutorial and you will know why. Multiple bugs before you even start playing the game, a tutorial that doesn't teach you anything at all and forwards you to the solution every single time, so you only press 'quest complete' for like 20 minutes straight like a complete donkey, and extremely laggy gameplay. I haven't even reached the point of pay-to-win and it already sucks.”
“The game bugged 5 times in less than 15 minutes of gameplay where you cannot press on any of the menu, freezes after a boss is killed.”

Many players express frustration over the need to restart the game repeatedly due to these issues, indicating a lack of optimization and overall reliability. Despite some positive remarks about the game's content, the overwhelming technical problems render it largely unplayable for many users.
“This game is good, but when the story progresses, the game always suddenly freezes; even I can't choose to skip, and I have to exit the game.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over poor performance, slow loading times, and frequent crashes, particularly on lower-end devices. While some users noted improvements after updates, the consensus is that significant optimization is still needed to enhance gameplay stability and reduce glitches. Additionally, concerns about the focus on monetization over performance further detract from the experience.
“Not bad, but still need optimization on where clicking too fast can make the game freeze and force a restart. The game has potential to compete with other games of the same type, but I'm still staying for this rate.”
“This game's optimization is up there with CODM Warzone.”
“I turned off all that I could that wouldn't hamper the bare minimum of gameplay, low settings, etc. I do hope it gets a bit more optimized for lower-end phones, maybe?”
“Decent game but the developer should make the game more optimized as it has a lot of glitches.”
“This game is crashing... the loading on this game is so very slow, you wait 5 minutes before it opens... fix the bugs, make it load faster, and make it smooth like other games compared to this one. The performance is very poor.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mix of enjoyable and tedious; while it allows for some progress without extensive time investment, it still requires effort. The game features both idle and manual controls, with the latter offering a more engaging experience. However, issues like misleading notifications and technical problems have led to frustration among users.
“Little things like showing me I have new stuff in the shop just for it to be you telling me to watch ads is very annoying and gets tedious when I don't know if I actually have something new in it or not.”
“U see I made a review a few days ago which I don't really do at all because so many people were saying bad stuff about the game. Don't get me wrong, the game is still amazing, but I have been grinding this game non-stop and now out of nowhere I can't even play the game for 5 minutes before it keeps crashing. Like, what are y'all doing? I'm so glad I didn't spend a lot of money on this game. Please fix this before this goes to a 1 star.”
“Just a normal idle-grindy game to waste your time.”
