Many players appreciate the detailed character customization and smooth animations, although some have noted issues with performance on lower-end devices and the presence of bugs that can detract from the experience.

The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and well-written, while others describe it as boring, predictable, and lacking depth. Many users express frustration with the auto-quest feature, which detracts from immersion and makes the gameplay feel more like watching a movie than actively participating in a narrative. Overall, while the graphics and character customization are praised, the reliance on automation in quests has led to a perception of wasted potential in storytelling.
“The story is absolutely amazing, the graphics are nearly breathtaking!”
“Great game, great graphics, auto feature, good storyline.”
“Amazing game and nice story play and everything is awesome.”
“The MMORPG story is also boring and unoriginal.”
“The storyline is boring and predictable; the items aren't cute at all.”
“The visuals are bland, the story is cliche, and rather badly presented, and overall the game is a waste of time.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its smooth mechanics and graphics, while others criticize it for being overly automated and repetitive. Some users enjoy the character customization and combat systems, but express frustration over bugs, crashes, and a lack of engaging content, leading to a feeling of boredom. Overall, while the game boasts impressive visuals, the gameplay experience varies significantly among players, with many calling for improvements to balance and depth.
“Gameplay-wise, I love the combat system and so many features that you can try from dungeons to PvP.”
“The gameplay is solid and the graphics are very good.”
“Great graphics, storyline is engaging enough, gameplay is simple, and the auto feature works well.”
“Never even got to gameplay; the sign-in experience is absolutely abysmal and makes you want to blow your brains out. Make a better game that can actually function with Google sign-in. How can you put your game through Google Play but be garbage at coding in the Google account option that isn't bugged and broken? Worst 5 minutes of my life.”
“The gameplay is repetitive and you don't feel any progression.”
“The gameplay feels solid and all, but at the start of the game, auto battle started, feels like pay-to-win too.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, crashing, and lagging, even on high-spec devices. Many players experience interruptions during gameplay, particularly when accessing features like the shop or entering dungeons, leading to lost progress and frustration. While some users note that the game runs smoothly under certain conditions, the overall consensus is that it feels unfinished and requires urgent fixes to address its numerous bugs and performance issues.
“The game runs great, super smooth on high graphics. I just started playing it today, so I haven't unlocked a ton of functions yet, but it's fun.”
“Beautiful graphics and the game runs great as long as you have a good enough connection.”
“Nearly console-level graphics and fairly straightforward gameplay, and the character customization options are nice, but the game is quite buggy with frequent freezes, crashes, and restarts required, meaning you've lost progress on whatever you were doing.”
“But the fact it freezes and crashes every 5 minutes just doesn't seem like a finished product to me, especially when I'm playing it on an 8GB RAM device. It's very slow, lags, and freezes, and it's unintuitive.”
“It's an awesome game but it's super slow and freezes like crazy.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it excessively tedious and time-consuming, especially after reaching higher levels. While some appreciate the balance in resource farming and the option for auto-play during grinding, others criticize the low experience rewards and the need for repetitive quests to progress. Overall, the game is seen as heavily reliant on grinding, which can detract from the enjoyment for those who prefer a more streamlined experience.
“Nice game with good graphics. It becomes grindy when you reach level 40, but more content would be appreciated.”
“The leveling system is horrendous; farming for resources to upgrade any of your gear is pointless since you will be wasting money and resources if you don't have high enough luck. The game crashes entirely too much, shutting down during loading screens, character creation, or in-game. You basically have to have the game on auto the entire time due to the lack of markers on the screen.”
“Overall, it's a good game, but the only thing that really sucks is that it's an epic grinding game to get anywhere, and it's hard to do much of anything because the experience rates are really low.”
“My only gripe is the extreme level of grinding required to level up. Aside from that, it's amazing.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that while it runs smoothly on higher-end devices, there are significant performance issues on lower-end hardware, including crashes and lag. Users have suggested the need for an options screen to adjust graphics settings for better performance, as well as improvements to stability and battery usage. Despite some players enjoying the graphics and gameplay, the consensus is that further optimization is necessary to enhance the overall experience.
“Depending on the hardware capabilities of your mobile device, display options can be customized/optimized to suit your preferences.”
“Exceptional experience, overall performance and visuals beyond expectation.”
“Great game, it really pushes my Galaxy S9's performance to the maximum; my Galaxy S9 can cook an egg while I am playing this game, lol. Great job on optimizing this game! The graphics are amazing too for a mobile game!”
“I would suggest adding an options screen at startup so graphics can be lowered for optimal performance.”
“Game is not optimized, crashed when collecting rewards while auto questing.”
“I found so many bugs and the game keeps crashing on iPhone 6, and that's all I'm wishing for the game optimization and the fixes of all bugs because this game is perfect. All it needs is bugs fixed and optimization.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it as a "cash grab" due to high in-app purchase prices and a reliance on loot boxes. While some users appreciate the absence of intrusive ads during gameplay, they express frustration over the complex microtransactions and the slow progression for those unwilling to spend money. Overall, the game's monetization practices are seen as exploitative, detracting from the overall experience.
“Character building centers around equipment, and so do their microtransactions.”
“Now I changed my review for fixing my problem. Very good in any aspects, but the only thing is in-app purchases are a bit expensive. Can you at least make a promo pack for first-time top-up users?”
“Hopefully next time in-app purchases will be cheaper; I will consider giving 5 stars.”
“In-app purchases are high in my opinion.”
“All items are overpriced and loot box based; in fact, there are already £100 microtransactions in the game, which shows just how greedy the devs are.”
“Uninstalled immediately; the signs of a cash grab app showed up immediately.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and appeal, with many users highlighting the soundtrack as a standout feature that enhances the overall experience. However, some players express frustration with repetitive stock music during updates and the inability to mute it, which detracts from their enjoyment. Overall, while the music is well-received, there are technical issues that impact its presentation.
“It's visually beautiful, has an in-depth storyline, the music is nice, you can pan around (which I love).”
“The controls are good and the graphics are amazing; the soundtrack is dope and that's all I want in games.”
“I am really loving the graphics, music, and voice acting.”
“It's good, but the gameplay is sweet. However, it would be great if every time I had to update the game or when installing it, I didn't have to listen to that stock rock guitar and watch the same three videos over and over again. Instead, I would prefer to listen to the music I have playing on my phone. Maybe add a mute button to those screens and allow the game to download updates in the background.”
“When I exit the game, the music still plays, so I actually have to stop the game from running to avoid wasting my battery.”
“I created a character, and during the intro movie, it locked up while the music kept playing.”

Overall, the emotional aspect of the game is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players finding the storyline boring and unoriginal. The automated gameplay and grindy mechanics contribute to a sense of detachment, leaving players feeling uninspired and unchallenged. While the graphics are praised, they do little to enhance the emotional experience, which many reviewers find lacking.
“Just another boring story, automated RPG.”
“An MMORPG like many others, exhaustingly grindy already from level 30, cash shop filled with pay-to-win products, unoriginal art style, boring storyline, dry character customization (no beard options, what?), auto gameplay with child-proof skill tree, no challenge or depth in building your character.”
“Very impressive, high graphics game and boring storyline.”

“Kinda funny... just make it remain like in what they have in M+ set or add something like %.”
“I know it sounds funny, but let me know if you need help.”
