The game's story centers around dragons, offering a compelling narrative that resonates with fans of the genre, despite some pacing issues and a corny introduction. Players engage in quests that revolve around dragon interactions and lore, though the overall execution suffers from rushed exposition and technical shortcomings in graphics and voice acting. While the story is a strong aspect of the game, it is hampered by confusing quest markers and a lack of exploration depth.
- “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.”
- “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).”
- “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 users criticizing poor visuals, excessive bloom effects, and frequent frame rate drops, particularly in urban areas. Others appreciate the visuals as decent for a small development project, though they may not meet the standards of high-end games. Overall, while some find charm in the graphics, many agree that significant improvements are needed.
- “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 the bloom is cranked extremely high, 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 high-end games with HD graphics, textures, and sounds, 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.”
