The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its graphics and engaging plot, while others criticize the repetitive and automated questing system that detracts from immersion. Some players find the storyline interesting and well-presented, but feel that the reliance on auto-play mechanics makes the experience feel passive and less rewarding. Overall, while the narrative has potential, the execution through auto-questing and lack of player agency has left some players feeling disconnected from the story.
“The storyline is really interesting!”
“I love the graphics, the storyline, and that there is always something to do quest-wise.”
“The story is pretty interesting and the gameplay is smooth and gorgeous.”
“It's hard to keep engaged in a world where the story is very basic and bland and where the quests literally do themselves.”
“The story is bad, control is worse.”
“The game is beautiful to look at but it basically plays itself with a story that fails to grab you from the start, cliched fan-servicey characters that don't have anything interesting about them and voice acting worse than an English class listening audio track.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its stunning graphics and enjoyable combat mechanics, particularly in end-game PvP and realm battles. However, a significant number of users criticize the repetitive questing, reliance on auto-play features, and pay-to-win mechanics, which detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the ease of gameplay for casual players, others find it lacks depth and engagement, leading to a sense of boredom.
“The most authentic console gaming experience I've ever had on a mobile platform. The game itself is an art and the developers are the artists. Absolutely stunning graphics to soothe your eyes, well immersive gameplay, and a lot of things to do. For a free-to-play player such as myself, I'm pretty satisfied with the login reward system. You can be in the game if you grind well, no need to pay and you can still enjoy the game. Hats off to the developers!”
“Epic in all ways, many different choices for character development and tons of mounts and pets to collect. Auto quest and battle lets the hands-free work do it for you when you might need a break. Beautiful graphics and 4 or 5 camera angle modes to enjoy the cinematic view of gameplay. Guilds are available once partway leveled up, there are many to choose from. The storyline is deeply involved and never gets too old, boring, or repetitive.”
“I love the graphics and gameplay. The gameplay is simple, user-friendly, and rewards are generous.”
“The gameplay dropped the framerate considerably low, making it look like skipping frames.”
“The auto-battle system when fighting makes the skill-based combat gameplay turn into a snore fest, making it feel like you are already locked on to an AI.”
“Bad gameplay, there isn't even gameplay at all because of the auto play; it's like I'm watching a boring HD movie rather than playing a game.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it excessively tedious and repetitive, particularly at higher levels where experience gain slows significantly.

Overall, the game is seen as heavily grind-oriented, with a pay-to-win structure that exacerbates the experience for free-to-play players.
“It's pointless, just grinding aimlessly.”
“Once you hit level 66, grinding comes to an extreme halt and the experience grind is unbearable, making it just easier to quit.”
“After grinding for weeks, I still haven't made any progress; I'm done...”

The monetization aspect of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with many users expressing disappointment over the heavy reliance on microtransactions and intrusive ads. Players feel that the game prioritizes profit over quality, offering minimal gameplay and excessive auto features, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite some appreciation for the graphics and unique combat system, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game is designed primarily to extract money from players rather than provide a fulfilling gaming experience.
“Of course there are a lot of microtransactions... it's a free mobile game after all, you get what you pay for.”
“It's not a flat 1-star because the microtransactions aren't immediately in your face, but boy are they there.”
“The only thing I would say that would be a drawback to this game is the microtransactions to get equipment and currency.”
“The auto feature makes it feel like a quick cash grab tap-and-play game, which is a bit disappointing because the game looks better than that.”
“I don't mind spending money, but this game is a cash grab right from the intro.”
“This game is currently just a blatant cash grab emulating games such as BDO mobile with as little effort as possible.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its quality and immersive qualities reminiscent of classic MMORPG soundtracks like Lineage 2. However, several users have reported significant technical issues, including lag, glitches, and instances where the game only plays music on a black screen, detracting from the overall experience. Despite these problems, the music and voice acting are often highlighted as standout features when functioning properly.
“Music is fantastic.”
“Sound: its philharmonic is amazing to listen to, reminds me of the Lineage 2 soundtrack which is considered one of the best in MMOs.”
“The music gives you that feeling that you're in a specific locale, and lastly the combat is stunning for a mobile MMORPG.”
“Glitchy, laggy, now it's starting to force-close, white screen, an extreme disruption with the music/audio.”
“I really like the game but the problem is the music, it sounds twitchy or something so I thought my speaker had a problem. I tried playing on my other games but it sounds completely fine. I tried deleting and downloading it again but it is still pretty much the same; it wasn't like this when I first downloaded it.”
“Can you update the annoying music? It's broken when I start playing; the music has a crushed sound. Please fix it.”

“I wish the game was more playable and less fully automated, but perhaps that would make more sense on the PC.”
