- “Rare mechanics like the secondary weapons is what really makes the gameplay amazing.”
- “The movement and mechanics of the game are okay, though with a lot of improvement it could be a potential game. However, I just don't see it getting the massive overhaul that it needs to be a successful game.”
- “Matches don't have items or mechanics; they just level you up.”
- “If it wants to be called a MOBA, the devs need to focus more on the gameplay and mechanics rather than what sounds and looks cool.”

The graphics of "The Day Online" receive mixed reviews, with some players praising their decent quality and stylized design, while others criticize them as simplistic and reminiscent of mobile games. Although the game can run on high settings without requiring a powerful rig, many users feel that it lacks detailed graphic options and overall polish.

- “The day online has potential, the graphics are of a decent standard, a ranking system is already in the game, and the combat feels satisfying.”
- “The graphics are also very nice.”
- “The day is an incredibly well thought through and stylized game, the graphics are lovely and the combat is fluid.”
- “The Day Online is a very simple arena shooter game with low-end graphics by today's standards and okay voice acting (the music is fine though).”
- “Okay, I know it's early access, but this game is unplayable. It just starts without knowing what's going on, and the settings are terrible. The only video setting is the graphics quality; this game is basically some random online game.”
- “Overall, I've followed The Day through early access and eagerly anticipated its launch. I can honestly say the gameplay is fast-paced, clean, and enjoyable, but it needs more graphic options (it kind of looks like a mobile game).”

Users report significant stability issues, including frequent mouse glitches that hinder gameplay and make it difficult to navigate menus or join matches. While some prefer the first-person perspective of Paladins, the overall experience is marred by bugs and performance problems that detract from enjoyment.
- “Good concept from what I saw in videos, but the actual game feels like a steaming pile due to the fact I couldn't even play the damn thing because there were so many mouse glitches.”
- “If I can even click the stuff required to join a match, change class, or even quit the game (had to use Task Manager multiple times to quit out and reset glitches).”
- “- Mouse glitches.”

The music in the game is generally described as "fine," but it is accompanied by generic and repetitive themes, such as "space elevator music." While it does not detract significantly from the experience, players express a desire for the option to turn it off, indicating that it may not enhance the overall gameplay.
- “The music is fine though.”
- “The default controls are a mess, character recognition is just bad since they all look the same, and has around 50 concurrent players, which I don't see changing soon given that new players are welcomed with a really bad UI, a god awful font, generic space elevator music, and having to both move a lot and use the numbers 1-5 for abilities.”
- “The day online is a very simple arena shooter game with low-end graphics by today's standards and okay voice actors (music is fine though).”
- “If I could turn off the in-game music, if crashes could be fixed (my game crashes every now and then for no reason, hope I do not get a penalty for that), and if player progression could be introduced, just because at the moment, it doesn't feel rewarding to the player when you are playing match after match.”

- “It gets a bit grindy and boring after a while.”
- “Traditional farming and building is replaced by a focus on customizing your skillsets and trying to outlevel your opponents.”
