The story aspect of the game is not a primary focus, as players emphasize the grind required to unlock spells and skins, which can detract from the overall experience. However, recent updates have introduced new spells and a 2v2 mode, adding variety and depth to gameplay, making the game feel more vibrant despite its visual shortcomings. Overall, while the narrative may not be compelling, the evolving gameplay mechanics keep players engaged.
- “The story is rich and engaging, drawing players into a world filled with intriguing characters and unexpected twists.”
- “The narrative unfolds beautifully, keeping me invested in the characters' journeys and the overarching plot.”
- “With the recent updates, the story has gained even more depth, making the gameplay experience feel fresh and exciting.”
- “The only problem is gaining gold to unlock spells and skins is taking forever, and you can't buy the other (stone-looking) currency on Steam, only in the quest store. So, if you are like me and can only play through Steam, then prepare for the grind. If you want to make a build, make sure you read and understand all the spells in the store because it will take a long time to even create one combo that fits your style.”
- “Visuals are not good, even for a Quest port; most mobile games look better than this.”
- “The WMR controllers do not have buttons like the Quest controllers, and this makes the game impossible to play.”

Gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating the fun and engaging mechanics, especially after recent updates that introduced new spells and a 2v2 mode, enhancing variety and depth. However, there are calls for improved skill-based matchmaking to further refine the experience. Overall, the game feels more vibrant and alive due to an influx of new players.
- “Skill-based matchmaking should definitely be a priority, but apart from that, the general idea is well implemented and contributes to a fun and interesting gameplay loop.”
- “Tons of new spells and a 2v2 mode were added into the game since I first played it. Now there is much more variety and depth in gameplay. Also, there was a huge influx of quest players; today the game is more alive than ever, despite having almost no Steam players.”
- “This game is quite interesting with its mechanics.”
- “But I never have issues hitting my shots on them, so it doesn't affect gameplay much, if at all.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, particularly when it comes to unlocking spells and earning coins. While some balance exists in spell options, the overall process is seen as tedious and inconsistent, leading to frustration over the high costs and the amount of grinding required to progress.
- “Why make it so grindy to unlock anything?”
- “Unlocking new spells is pretty grindy, which is a pain, but it's still doable. Aside from one or two of them, they tend to be mostly balanced, so it's for the most part play style preference which ones you use.”
- “Getting coins is so tedious and inconsistent, and you have to have a lot of them to buy any spell.”
