While some appreciated the interesting premise and charming settings, others criticized the plot for being simplistic and filled with errors.
- “The game has its faults and it could be a lot more polished, but I loved it for the story, engaging characters, fantastic locations and creatures... the RPG part of the game could be a little more developed, it feels almost like an afterthought, but I still feel that the game is worth it for all the little details that make it a beautiful fantasy experience.”
- “This game has a pretty good premise, and in fact, I enjoyed the story.”
- “Valiant: Resurrection is the story of a man who falls in love and right before he and his bride are to be married, she falls ill and dies.”

- “As far as negatives, I found the music to just be standard, not exceptional.”

The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for being a blatant cash grab, characterized by low-quality content, poor language, and the use of stock assets. Reviewers express concern that such practices contribute to the proliferation of shovelware on platforms like Steam, tarnishing the reputation of legitimate indie developers. Additionally, there are allegations of coordinated fake reviews supporting these low-effort games.
- “This kind of cash grab construction kit shovelware from bad actors like Andorlea gives amateur developers a bad name.”
- “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
- “It's horribly basic, riddled with grammatical and spelling errors, full of stock copy-pasted RPG Maker assets... no real game development has taken place here, this is just a cash grab, it's shovelware polluting Steam for profit.”

In "Valiant," character development is minimal, as the game focuses more on adventure than traditional RPG elements, offering a limited number of characters for players to engage with. This lack of depth in character progression may leave some players wanting more.
- “Valiant is a nice fairy tale adventure/JRPG game – more adventure than RPG, since you get only a limited number of characters for your party, and there’s not much character development either.”
