The story of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the integration of original content and the overall narrative, while others criticize its pacing and reliance on recycled anime footage. Fans of the source material may enjoy the new story arcs, but many feel that key elements from the anime and manga were overlooked or rushed, leading to a disjointed experience. Overall, the narrative is seen as enjoyable but flawed, with a need for deeper engagement and less repetitive gameplay.
- “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 that plays out slightly different than the anime.”
- “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).”

While some appreciate the visuals for a mobile game, others criticize them as outdated and lacking polish, particularly in comparison to other titles at similar price points.

- “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.”
- “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.”
- “Graphics aside, the gameplay is just lacking; the battle mechanic is 2D and doesn't work at all as a real-time combat.”
