The story aspect of the game is praised for its engaging lore and characters, reminiscent of classic 70s and 80s storytelling styles. While the narrative is described as simple, it effectively integrates set-piece puzzles with combat, offering players the freedom to approach the plot in their own way, which aligns well with vintage gaming experiences. Overall, the story is considered solid and enjoyable.
- “Now, after completing it 20 minutes ago, I can say the lore, the characters, and the story are really good, yet simple. It is a very 70s-80s way of telling a tale, and I completely love it.”
- “The plot is solid, and there is the option to play it in your own way.”
- “And the story: well, it seems a set of set-piece puzzles interspersed with combat, but I'm told this is close to an original vintage game.”

The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing them as "godawful pixelcrap" that detracts from the overall experience, while others appreciate the unique and bespoke art style, even if it can be distracting. Despite the varying opinions on visual quality, many players emphasize that engaging mechanics and exploration are more important than graphics in their enjoyment of the game.
- “The graphics are all bespoke, though perhaps a little arty and distracting in places.”
- “This features really godawful pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
- “Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the modern and impressive soundtrack featuring various artists, others find it inconsistent and occasionally disruptive to the gameplay experience. Overall, the music is seen as a secondary aspect to the game's mechanics and exploration.
- “Well this is very jolly: lots of nice bright colors and accompanied by a thoroughly modern musical set.”
- “The music is really good - such an impressive set of artists involved.”
- “- has a nice soundtrack”
- “On the bad side, the music is really random at times; it's kind of bad. I would say 60% of it threw me off the dungeon crawling mood, but that's the only negative thing I have to share about it.”

Reviewers emphasize that engaging gameplay mechanics and exploration are more important than graphics and music. The game successfully evokes nostalgia while offering a fresh take on its mechanics, making it enjoyable for both new players and those familiar with the original.
- “People nowadays think graphics and quality music make a game, but that's secondary to me. If the mechanics are fun and there's stuff to explore, I enjoy it!”
- “This game brings that nostalgia to the table but does the gameplay very differently, which makes it enjoyable to play again and see where I can recall certain things from the original.”

Players note that grinding is a significant aspect of the game, often requiring extensive time investment to level up characters and gather resources, such as health potions and food. Many express that the repetitive nature of grinding can be overwhelming, suggesting that it may feel like a second job for some.
- “Anyone who has played the original will remember how they spent hours hitting 144 to 1335 for their fireball lightning combos, spamming out masses of health potions, and grinding out a level repeatedly to level up their fighters.”
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
humor

Reviewers highlight the game's humor as a delightful addition that enhances the overall experience, seamlessly blending with its engaging RPG elements. The humor is described as interesting and rewarding, contributing to the game's charm and enjoyment.
- “While it's certainly a daunting feat to imagine so many disparate RPG elements could unify with one another, they all come together seamlessly to give you a smooth-yet-exciting mix of many things I've come to love about role-playing games: 'meaty' dungeon crawling, meaningful action elements, more-than-meets-the-eye secrets, intuitive item usage and environment interaction, interesting and rewarding puzzles which sometimes delightfully break linearity, instead opting for a bit of lateral thinking from the player, and a great sense of humor as the cherry on top!”
