The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that while in-app purchases can enhance gameplay, they often feel necessary to remain competitive, leading to perceptions of a cash grab.

- “No glitches, just hope your game stays that way.”

The game's story aspect receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the engaging graphics and the potential for personal storytelling through gameplay, while others criticize the lack of originality and depth in the narrative. Many users express frustration over the slow progression and pay-to-win mechanics that hinder their ability to enjoy the story fully.

- “My favourite aesthetic for gaming is the Viking lore, and I have to say I am happily playing this game and following the storyline closely.”

- “The storyline is unoriginal and a typical multiplayer strategy game.”
- “Boring repetitive grind that takes ages if you don't cough up some cash. Plarium is known for money grab schemes, like a lot of other developers that are only developing their pockets; dry story, nothing to offer except some fictional sense of 'success' after years of mindless grind.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its lovely, relaxing, and immersive qualities, particularly the Norse-inspired soundtrack that enhances the Viking theme. However, some players express a desire for more variety, as the repetitive nature of the tracks can become tedious over time. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the gaming experience, adjustments to volume control and track diversity are recommended by users.

- “Music is very beautiful and relaxing.”
- “The music doesn't turn off.”
- “Music helps getting into the spirit but listening to the same tune over and over makes it pointless, as you have to turn it off or you go insane.”
- “This would be a 5 star game but the music is way too loud and can't turn it down without turning it off, and I personally love the background music when playing games. The solution is to have a slider to turn the music to a lower volume than off.”
grinding

The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized for being tedious and time-consuming, often requiring players to wait weeks or even months for upgrades and resources. While some players appreciate the social and teamwork elements that accompany the grinding, many feel that the experience becomes repetitive and frustrating, especially when faced with paywalls and limited rewards for their efforts. Overall, the game appeals to those who enjoy grinding, but it may deter players seeking a more dynamic and engaging experience.
- “If you like to actually wait months if not years to upgrade everything and research that takes just as long, then this game is for you. It's got loads of waiting for your troops to get trained/healed, and if you don't mind buying supplies using real money from the store where stuff can get super pricey, then be expected to spend hours upon hours of grinding.”
- “It is kind of fun at first, but it gets tedious quickly, and around level 20-21 you hit an obvious paywall where you either pay to advance or spend weeks/months/years doing nothing but waiting for things to complete.”
- “I honestly wish that this game was even half as fun as most people on YouTube made it out to be. If you like long tedious grinds with very little in return for your efforts, then this is the game for you.”
