The gameplay is enjoyable and features a cool concept, but players note that it requires some time to understand the mechanics fully. While the fundamental mechanics are present, the game could benefit from additional polish to enhance the overall experience.

The monetization model of the game includes a $25 upfront purchase followed by optional in-app purchases, which some users find unnecessary as they haven't felt the need for the in-game currency being sold. This has led to confusion and frustration among players regarding the value of the additional purchases.
“I haven't needed any of the currency the game is selling, but I am questioning it with a 'what the heck' motivator here.”
“$25 for the game + in-app purchases.”
“In-app purchases -- I haven't needed any of the currency the game is selling, but I am questioning the motivation behind it.”

The story is characterized by a somewhat simplistic introductory quest line that, while lacking depth, effectively establishes the game's fundamental mechanics.
