The game's story centers around dragons, offering a mix of engaging lore and quests that appeal to dragon enthusiasts, though it suffers from pacing issues and a corny introduction. While the narrative is considered the strongest aspect, players note that the execution, including graphics and voice acting, requires improvement. Overall, the story provides a satisfying experience despite its rushed elements and occasional awkwardness.
- “Game is pretty much story-based and always circles around dragons through every map we play on, either by interacting with some dragon directly or by getting some lore by other means. This is by far the strongest aspect of the game, which I, as a dragon lover, just adore.”
- “The handler of dragons is a brand new work-in-progress story-driven action RPG set in a mystical world where dragons, wizards, and trolls are a thing to behold.”
- “After experiencing a very corny and seemingly forced intro quest, we very quickly dive into dragon business, which entails either helping them out or dooming them.”
- “Story feels rushed in terms of pacing and exposition, but nonetheless is nice and satisfying for what it is (just like the whole game pretty much).”
- “I don't hate it; it works well more often than not, but when it doesn't, then things get awkward (remember I mentioned the intro quest was corny?).”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the poor quality, particularly in urban areas where excessive bloom effects wash out details and lead to frame rate drops. Others appreciate the visuals, likening them to "Two Worlds Two," and acknowledge the limitations of a small development team. Overall, while some find the graphics acceptable, many feel they need significant improvement to meet modern standards.
- “The graphics actually look very good, in a 'Two Worlds II' kind of way.”
- “The first two things anyone will notice about the game are its movement machines and the visuals.”
- “I might give the visuals a pass since this is a small development project and it works fine.”
- “Graphics also look pretty bad in some areas, especially in the city where bloom is cranked extremely high with no way to disable it, which washes everything out in light tones of brown.”
- “There are also constant frame rate drops unless you lower the graphic settings significantly.”
- “If you are used to and biased by high-end games with HD graphics, textures, sounds, etc., and feel those are absolute requirements for a game, you might want to steer away.”

The music in the game is minimal, lacking a dedicated volume slider, which may disappoint some players. However, those who appreciate a classic RPG atmosphere with a medieval fantasy theme find the background music relaxing and fitting for the adventure, enhancing the overall experience despite its simplicity.
- “However, those who can enjoy a good old classic RPG feel, like medieval fantasy worlds and dragons, and are looking for a short but fun and enticing adventure, at the price it is offered, I would definitely recommend this little gem. I had so much fun playing it, and the background music is really relaxing, while at the same time putting you in that adventuring/questing zone.”
- “Music and sound effects: well, there’s not much background music here.”
- “There’s no dedicated music volume slider.”
