- “The story is simple too, but feels more authentic than most.”
- “This game has everything I want in a game: a compelling story, fun characters (Sqaulus is hilarious), and a heart-warming relationship between Letha and Yoni.”
- “The story is fascinating; characters gradually cultivate their feelings when fulfilling their mission.”
- “The story is simple, but it feels more authentic than most.”

The gameplay is described as fulfilling and features unique mechanics such as cooking, upgradable gear, and in-battle equipment changes. Players find it relatively easy, with a fast leveling system and manageable fights, aided by summons and supporting players. While the map is small and allows for quick progression, the abundance of side quests can slow down the main story, adding depth to the experience.
- “It has some interesting mechanics that I haven't encountered before in an RPG, such as simple cooking, upgradable gear, in-battle equipment changes, and weapon-based abilities.”
- “The gameplay is relatively easy with a fast level-up system (if you turn on random encounters or grind repeatable boss battles). The fights are easy to manage since you can get assistance from summons and other supporting players. By the time you reach the boss fights, you're likely well above the suggested level, making it easier to grind gold and loot, especially since some chests can be re-looted. The map is not too big, allowing for quicker progress, although many side quests with boss fights may pop up along the way, which can delay progress but adds to the experience.”
- “It is a relatively easy gameplay with a fast level-up system (if you turn on random encounters/grind repeatable boss battles), easy-manageable fights since you can get assistance from summons/other supporting players. Yes, the boss fights are easy too since by the time you get to them, you're likely way above the suggested level. It's somewhat easy to grind gold and loot given how some of the chests can be re-looted, and if you spend your gold wisely, I would even say it's fast compared to other RPG games out there since the map is not too big. However, others may disagree since many side quests - with boss fights - would pop up along the way to the main quests, which delays the progress (though it's a plus point indeed).”
- “The gameplay is really fulfilling.”
- “The gameplay is relatively easy and lacks challenge, making it feel less engaging.”

- “It's quite nice that it's not grindy, and you can turn encounters off if you've already gone through the area, or if the monsters are too weak to give meaningful XP (although I recommend keeping it on).”

The game offers limited replayability, as there is no new game plus (NG+) mode; however, players can continue to explore the world and complete additional quests if they aim for 100% completion and achievements. For those not interested in completionist goals, the experience may feel finite after the main storyline.
- “After completing the main storyline, you can still explore the world, but there's no replay value or New Game Plus. You only have quests to complete if you're a completionist aiming for all achievements; otherwise, you've reached the end of the game.”
