  • The gameplay is simple and easy to learn, making it accessible for a wide audience.
  • The combat system, while basic, can be fun and engaging for those who appreciate the franchise.
  • The game is criticized for its low-quality graphics and overall lack of polish, resembling a mobile game rather than a full console experience.
  • Many players find the gameplay repetitive and boring, with a lack of meaningful content and depth.
  • The price point is considered too high for the quality and content offered, leading to disappointment among fans.
  • story44 mentions

    The story of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the integration of original content and character development, while others criticize its pacing and reliance on repetitive fetch quests. Fans of the source material may enjoy the familiar elements, but newcomers might find it challenging to follow due to the rushed narrative and omitted arcs from the anime. Overall, while the story has its merits, it often feels disjointed and fails to fully capture the essence of the original series.

    • “The game does have some original story content that works for the setting and was integrated very well.”
    • “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.”
    • “The story is pretty well done; you get a brief summary on some bits and some more involved cutscenes for others, and on some of the really important bits (meeting the ogres for the first time) you get some custom animated work.”
    • “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, 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).”
  • gameplay39 mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and lacking originality, often comparing it unfavorably to better titles. While some appreciate the simplicity and enjoyment of the combat mechanics, others criticize the execution and feel that it doesn't reward skillful play. Overall, the gameplay is seen as mediocre, with missed opportunities for deeper mechanics and a casual approach that may not satisfy all players.

    • “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.”
    • “The gameplay is really fun!”
    • “Got the game for 30€ and I'm happy; the animations are fine, and the gameplay is good too.”
    • “While it may not be an original style of gameplay, it is repetitive and somewhat boring.”
    • “This game is overpriced and the execution of the core game mechanic leaves a lot to be desired.”
    • “Fans and newcomers alike will be disappointed by the uninspired design and poorly executed gameplay mechanics.”
  • graphics24 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players noting that they can be improved by adjusting settings, while others criticize them as low quality and reminiscent of older consoles. Despite the graphical shortcomings, many appreciate the game's art style and find it suitable for mobile platforms, though some feel it falls short for a PC release. Overall, while the visuals may not meet high expectations, they are deemed acceptable for the game's intended experience.

    • “The game is easy and the gameplay gets a bit repetitive, but the story is great and the graphics are good for what the game tries to achieve.”
    • “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.”
    • “Overpriced for a mobile graphic kind of game!”
    • “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.”
  • grinding5 mentions

    Players report that grinding in the game can be quite extensive, with one user noting they spent over 100 hours to achieve completion. While some find the cutscene abilities initially engaging, they quickly become tedious and disrupt the flow of gameplay. Additionally, the resource farming aspect is seen as a standard mechanic, but the high building costs may lead to a particularly grind-heavy experience.

    • “Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
    • “The grind is satisfying and offers a real sense of progression.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “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.”
    • “I can see this bit being super grindy given the building costs.”
  • monetization3 mentions

    The monetization of the game has been widely criticized, with many users labeling it as a cash grab that fails to meet expectations, especially given the popularity of the associated anime. Players feel that the pricing is excessive and that the overall experience does not justify the costs.

    • “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.”
    • “Hyper casual, overpriced cash grab game.”
    • “Pretty much a cash grab.”
  • replayability1 mentions
