The game's story is widely praised for its depth, engaging plot twists, and the impact of player choices on the narrative. Many players appreciate the well-crafted characters and the immersive world, likening it to popular titles like Fallout. However, some users express frustration with difficulty spikes and bugs that can hinder progress, while others eagerly anticipate future updates and expansions to the storyline. Overall, the story is considered a standout feature that enhances the gameplay experience.
“The storyline is compelling, filled with twists and turns that keep you hooked from start to finish.”
“Probably will be the only game that I've ever enjoyed playing nonstop, the bosses, the weapons, the missions, the choices that you make that are really crucial, the story itself was not boring to go through, the choices were even more fun since you can literally just sabotage anything by making the wrong choice, which just proves that all your choices here vary on how the story goes.”
“The story is great, seems based off of Fallout.”
“As of now the game's pretty bland once you finish all quests (it's only season 1).”
“Unfortunately the main story often times leads you into situations and boss fights which can be too difficult and their setup causing no real way to go before you started the encounter to take time to prepare.”
“I change my 5 review to one star, I've been playing for almost a year now and I haven't beaten the story yet... the update hasn't changed much about those annoying level 65 necropolis one shot, after the update I'm glad it has a different quest this time but no it's more of a hell than necropolis!”

The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the absence of forced ads and the optional nature of ad viewing for rewards. Users highlight that ads are not intrusive and can be chosen for benefits like revives or loot, making the experience enjoyable rather than frustrating. However, some players express concerns about the game's difficulty, suggesting that it may encourage ad watching to progress, and there are occasional technical issues with ad loading. Overall, the game is praised for its fair monetization approach, avoiding the typical pitfalls of aggressive ad strategies.
“Great game! I want to start off with the in-game purchase of the dog upgrade, which gives a portion to a pet shelter. Thank you for that! About the game: great part, no ads forced on you, kind of like a pixel Fallout, with perma-death difficulty options. I'm always a fan.”
“This game is by far one of my favorite games. It has a very unique combat system compared to other games, and the fact that there are no ads in this game is just a blessing. Sometimes the developers are so generous.”
“No ads unless you want a revive! You get to make your own decisions mostly, and it's probably the most unique and interesting game I've ever played and experienced.”
“The game is fun, ads aren't forced, there's plenty of customization, the special abilities are extremely fun to use.”
“This game requires you to watch 2 ads every single encounter just to get by in the mid game.”
“They make sure you died can click ads for second chance game play.”

The gameplay of the game has received largely positive feedback, with many players praising its engaging mechanics, smooth controls, and enjoyable story. While some users noted issues such as difficulty spikes, bugs, and UI navigation challenges, the overall experience is described as fun and addictive, with a variety of customization options and minimal intrusive ads. Players appreciate the depth of gameplay, though some suggest improvements in balancing and additional features like multiplayer support.
“Love the core game, fun mechanics and systems.”
“The gameplay is top notch!”
“Amazing game, amazing gameplay, epic story, epic weapons, just perfection.”
“When a cutscene starts or when I move in a building, my screen suddenly freezes for about 10 seconds or more, which ruins my gameplay.”
“The storylines, characters, traits, stats, and all are very good unlike other adventure and RPG games; however, there's this bug/virus/glitch that makes the gameplay zoom in for no reason, like the buttons are misplaced and too big. I can't press the interact and gather button, and it lags and crashes because of the effects that make the size really big.”
“Every time you push forward, there's at least 5 enemies spamming grenades at you and shooting you from a distance while dashing in and out and laying traps. This makes fights less fun and more of a 'spam the 2 attack buttons until you win' situation. Tumbling is very hard to do anything with as its cooldown increases with every tumble, leading to a frustrating gameplay loop of death, watching ads to revive, and repeating.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the challenge and addictive nature of grinding for levels and loot, while others find it tedious and unbalanced, particularly due to enemy level scaling that makes progression feel frustrating.

Overall, the game appeals to those who appreciate grind-heavy gameplay, but it risks losing players due to its repetitive nature and lack of meaningful progression.

“Grinding in this game feels rewarding rather than tedious, allowing me to enjoy the journey while progressing through the captivating story.”
“I appreciate how the game balances grinding with engaging content, making every moment feel meaningful and not just a chore.”
“Turns out it's just another unbalanced grinding-required garbage as the game proceeds.”
“There is zero reward for grinding, literally zero.”
“The enemy level scaling in this game is absurd and the rewards you get from grinding are not worth it.”

Overall, the game is considered fun and engaging, with a solid story that encourages multiple playthroughs.

“Companion shared stash box between characters and bonus stats for more than one character provide a lot of replay value. I love the new engineer class for sure, and the gold robot loot drop is very nice.”
