- “While this is all neat, it's handled in an awkward way - and the one defense mission I got to participate in bugged out on me and didn't allow me to complete it, so... yeah.”

The game's replayability is hindered by a lack of meaningful challenge, as players can quickly outscale enemies, rendering loot and grinding efforts ineffective. While the "fate" system is intended to enhance replay value by altering dungeons and item stats based on player choices, its impact may not be fully realized or engaging for all players.
- “The 'fate' system is supposedly a big feature of this game that adds replay value, essentially changing dungeons and item stats based on choices.”
- “Now the game technically has some randomization for replay value; however, right now the content is not relevant because you can easily outscale all of the enemies, making the good loot and grind worthless.”
- “The 'fate' system is supposedly a big feature of this game that adds replay value, essentially changing dungeons and item stats based on choices. However, I didn't pay that much attention to it.”
