The gameplay is characterized by outdated graphics and familiar mechanics reminiscent of early 2000s browser games, heavily leaning on a 'pay-to-win' model that favors older players with disposable income. While some users appreciate the grind and progression available through normal gameplay, many criticize the slow pace, turn-based combat, and lack of meaningful content, leading to a perception of the game as a thinly veiled scam rather than a true RPG. Overall, the experience is mixed, with some enjoying the nostalgic elements while others find it lacking in innovation and fairness.
“It is free to play and can be played that way in perpetuity, but incentives to spend money are offered to enhance gameplay and time management.”
“Good progression via upgrades that can be acquired by all through normal gameplay, and the grind is not too terrible, at least until you get near max level.”
“Great gameplay and easy to play.”
“It's still that old early 2000's browser game with a very heavy 'pay-to-win' mechanic, designed to feed older players with open wallets any new player unlucky enough to install this game.”
“Newer players are locked out of many game mechanics until they reach a certain level, or if you spend a huge amount of money.”
“Regardless, there's little to no meaningful gameplay; it's not really a proper RPG, it's just a thinly veiled scam.”

The game's graphics are a mix of old-school charm and dated visuals, with some players appreciating the nostalgic aesthetic while others criticize the lack of modern updates and smooth performance.

“Has good graphics and gameplay.”
“The game runs on Flash but has beautiful graphics and animation and runs well on low-end hardware.”
“The graphics are dated, the game barely runs smoothly, and a barely functioning story, if you are even allowed to read it.”
“The graphics are old school and the mechanics are nothing you haven't seen before.”
“Furthermore, the game isn't very 'reborn' as it's the exact same mechanics, exact same art style, and exact same music.”

The music in the game has been heavily criticized for alleged copyright infringement, with users claiming that it features stolen tracks from well-known titles like Morrowind and Skyrim, as well as other games such as Dungeon Fighter Online.

“Furthermore, the game isn't very 'reborn' as it's the exact same mechanics, exact same art style, and exact same music.”

“It still seems to have stolen art assets, and the music is from other games.”

Many express frustration over the lack of originality and the game's pay-to-win mechanics, alongside concerns about dead servers, making the overall experience feel unstable and unworthy of investment.
“This game is broken. I updated Adobe and everything, and it still wouldn't let me play. The game freezes and is not worth the trouble.”
“Heavily pay-to-win, buggy, and lacks originality in content, even though it's supposed to be different from the original. It is on track to become just like the original, with dead servers all around.”

The game offers a solid experience, especially for its age, but it requires a significant time investment in grinding, which may not appeal to all players. While it is free to play, the presence of pay-to-win elements can make the grinding feel more pronounced for free players.
“For an old game, this is very well done; however, I don't recommend it for people who are not willing to invest time in grinding.”
“This is a good game, and it's free to play, but there are a lot of players who pay to win. Even for free players, grinding to increase power could take a lifetime, I suppose.”

The monetization of the game is criticized for being unreliable and frustrating, with users unable to make in-game purchases through Steam or within the game itself. Many view it as a cash grab, especially given the game's outdated 2D graphics and mechanics.
“A rip-off cash grab; a 2D game that was dated 10 years ago, let alone now.”
“Steam servers are as unreliable and useless as the help section; I can't make in-game purchases through Steam itself or in-game.”
