The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and reliance on repetitive, stereotypical quests, such as "kill 50 enemies" or "fetch this item," which detracts from player engagement. Many players express frustration with the quest system, noting that it often forces them to repeat the same tasks multiple times to progress, while also highlighting issues with PvP interference that can hinder story completion. Overall, the narrative feels underdeveloped and generic, leaving players dissatisfied with their experience.
- “What can I say that this game 'was' great at the start, the first few levels of doing quests getting into the game learning the ins and outs.”
- “Experience: I tried to go into this area to finish a quest, so it was a necessary area, and there was just a person there killing everybody that entered... who decided that it made sense to make it possible for new players to literally have no way of continuing the story.”
- “Only a little speech in the start of the game, which is literally not as much as I have written in this review in only the first part... so yeah, the plot literally does not exist.”
- “Not only just that, but at some points there are no quests that you can do... the only quests you can do are the same ones over and over again up until you level up and get new ones.”
- “Heavily PvP influenced game, so much in fact, you can't complete your storyline quests due to players camping and killing you in zones where you need to complete the quest.”

The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized for being tedious and repetitive, with players often resorting to AFK farming to progress. Many reviews highlight the necessity of grinding for resources and gear upgrades, which can lead to a dull experience, especially for new players. While some enjoy the grind and competitive elements, the overall sentiment suggests that the game's reliance on repetitive tasks detracts from its fun and engagement.
- “The endgame is running the same (non-procedural) small dungeons again and again and again until the boss at the end drops you one of the four 1% drop chance items you need to try to craft superior quality gear and start the leveling/ranking/grinding process of your stuff again.”
- “At its current status, the game is very dull; literally just afk farming and competing for resources.”
- “Terrible game; I wasted hours grinding to level up my runes and what happens? Nothing.”

The gameplay of the game has been widely criticized for its lack of originality and depth, with many reviewers noting that it feels like a copy of its predecessor, "Crush Online," featuring outdated mechanics and minimal content variety.

Despite some potential, the consensus is that the gameplay is fundamentally flawed and uninteresting, with little hope for improvement in the near future.
- “Liked the mechanics.”
- “+ good gameplay.”
- “It shows potential, so I will keep an eye on it, but I don't see how the devs will be able to solve the technical and gameplay problems in the near future.”
- “Gameplay is as original as a game of checkers/draughts.”
- “The gameplay itself feels like someone tried to make an MMO in a Dota 2 map editor, but it's much worse than that.”
- “Gameplay and interface are as basic as it gets.”

Overall, user reviews on optimization are mixed; while some players report smooth performance with stable frame rates even in high resolutions and large battles, others experience significant issues such as character stuttering, lag, and crashes. The disparity suggests that optimization may vary based on individual hardware and game settings, leading to a divided player experience.
- “The only good thing is probably optimization, as games run smoothly in 4K without dropping below 60 FPS.”
- “I've seen games with higher requirements than my PC could handle that were so well optimized I could play those smoothly.”
- “Beside the technical problems (crashes, lags, underoptimized graphics, and so on), both PvE and PvP have their own failings.”
- “Pathing and movement stuttering were the worst of many, many problems.”
- “Complete bad optimization.”
