User interface and quality-of-life features such as quest logs, inventory management, and combat shortcuts are poorly implemented or lacking, making navigation and progression confusing.
English translation and localization are incomplete or contain errors, and some game content is untranslated, which can hinder understanding for non-Chinese speakers and detract from the overall experience.

The story is generally praised for its engaging wuxia themes, choice-driven paths, and interesting characters, though it is sometimes seen as rushed and uneven after the first major act. However, many players report frustrations due to a poor or missing quest log, bugs that block progression, and unclear objectives, which detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the story remains a strong point, with ongoing updates expected to address many of the gameplay and interface shortcomings.
- “There are many subplots worth checking and I would say the story is one of the strongest points of the game.”
- “If you're willing to read and not skip things, it has a good story with a lot of paths to take.”
- “I had a very fun time while playing this game and the story is very touching.”
- “The story seems a little rushed after the first major act, and there appear to be some dialogues not showing up, only getting a '0' when they crop up.”
- “I played 62 hours, cleared all Act I quests and sidequests but cannot progress to Act II due to bugs.”
- “Due to the poor quest log, I had to rewatch my past streams and several offline recordings to piece together what I was missing, which took several hours over a span of a week.”

The gameplay is engaging and solid, offering a blend of tactical depth and freedom for players to customize characters and approaches, especially appreciated by fans of the wuxia/xianxia genre.

Overall, it provides a fun, story-driven experience that stands out positively among similar games.

- “Compared to other wuxia games with similar gameplay (Wandering Sword & Hero's Adventure), this one has better systems, though Wandering Sword's story ranks a bit higher, possibly because it's less open-ended.”
- “The gameplay is super engaging and definitely worth playing—had a blast from start to finish!”
- “Would really like to see more wuxia or xianxia genre games with solid gameplay. It doesn't have to be very fancy graphically; I prefer improved game mechanics over impressive graphics. Pixel graphics are fine as long as the portraits and skill effects are more interesting, so the game doesn't look too plain.”
- “Compared to other wuxia games with similar gameplay (Wandering Sword & Hero's Adventure), I'd say this game has better systems than both, though I'd rank Wandering Sword's story a bit higher, possibly because it's not as open-ended as this game.”

- “The graphics of Wokf are very basic, but charming.”
- “Would really like to see more wuxia or xianxia genre games with solid gameplay; they don't really have to be very fancy graphically. I prefer brushing up the game mechanics rather than graphically impressive visuals. I can live with pixel graphics, just hope that portraits and skill effects can be a bit more interesting, so it won't look too plain.”
- “The graphic is very indie but the portraits are alright.”

optimization

The game's optimization for difficulty balance is lacking, as hard mode features disproportionately high enemy and boss health early on, making gameplay feel unbalanced compared to the more reasonable health values on normal difficulty.
