    The story of the game has received mixed reviews, with some fans appreciating the integration of original content and the nostalgic elements from the anime, while others criticize its execution, including reliance on slideshow-style storytelling and omissions of key arcs. While the narrative is described as enjoyable and well-structured, it may feel disjointed or simplistic, particularly for those unfamiliar with the source material. Overall, the game appeals primarily to dedicated fans of the series, but many feel it does not fully capture the depth of the original story.

    • “The game does have some original story content that works for the setting and was integrated very well.”
    • “The side stories and quests are also fun to follow.”
    • “Honestly, as a huge fan of this series, I love the story of the game and the combat may be easy but it's still fun to play around with.”
    • “I love the anime/manga/light novel, so I'm biased, but it's clearly not worth the price. The art is frankly bad, the gameplay is okay but gets tiring very fast, and the story... did the people that made this game actually read any of the novels?”
    • “I do have some criticism about this game, like how they just pull off screenshots of the anime in part of the story like slideshows. They ignored the whole demon lord Clayman arc where Rimuru goes to Walpurgis to meet the other demon lords and beat Clayman and form Octogram. Instead, we got instant King Youm (the champion) where they hit us with the last story arc of the game, the Holy Kingdom of Angels.”
    • “Developers somehow missed the whole appeal of the isekai genre by passing up the golden opportunity of immersing players in the world and characters of a story (literally modeled after a game).”
  • gameplay25 mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it enjoyable and simple, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth. Many feel that the combat mechanics are outdated and do not reward skillful play, leading to a sense of monotony. Overall, while some appreciate the nostalgic feel, others believe it fails to meet modern gaming standards, especially given its price point.

    • “It took a good while for it to grow on me, and when it did, I was able to abuse all my powers and the dodging mechanic to its fullest.”
    • “I had fun playing it, and the combat mechanic is very simple; it was nice.”
    • “The gameplay is really fun!”
    • “I love the light novel/manga/anime of this series, and it's a shame seeing such low-quality gameplay and the game overall.”
    • “Graphics aside, the gameplay is just lacking; the battle mechanic is 2D and doesn't work at all as real-time combat.”
    • “The gameplay itself is lackluster when it comes to combat.”
  • graphics18 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing them as low quality and reminiscent of older console graphics, particularly when set to default settings. While some players found the visuals acceptable after adjusting the settings, others felt that the overall aesthetic and interface were outdated and detracted from the gameplay experience. Despite these criticisms, a few users noted that the game performs well on mobile devices and has a certain charm, suggesting that the graphics may be more suited for that platform.

    • “Other than that, the graphics, UI, and everything feels right, and it's a game where you can actually enjoy.”
    • “Once you adjust the graphics settings, portraits are no longer pixelated during dialogue, and I can no longer count the number of pixels on most of the textures.”
    • “I'm not big on graphics and animation, but in my opinion, if everything else is lacking, it should at least be visually appealing.”
    • “The graphics are very low quality, the combat is nothing special, and the controls are very strange for mouse and keyboard (they really want you to use a controller).”
    • “The graphic is very bad, the interface looks like it's from PS1, and the gameplay is boring.”
    • “If anything, they should have ported the mobile game to PC, since it actually looks better graphically than this PC release.”
  • grinding3 mentions

    • “Before you ask if I even played, I spent over 100 hours grinding this game to get all achievements. I was hell-bent on doing so.”
    • “Cutscene abilities are cool on first use, but they become tedious and break up the action too much.”
    • “Farming resources is somewhat normal in games, but this mechanic has been in place for several years now.”
  • monetization2 mentions

Fans of the source material may still find some enjoyment, but the general sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction with the game's financial approach.

    • “I really expected something way better considering how popular the anime is, and to be honest, this looks more like a cash grab than anything else. The only reason this is a positive review is that I'm a huge fan of the novel; that's it. Please do better next time.”
