The game is widely described as extremely grindy, appealing primarily to players who enjoy this aspect in MMOs. While many find the grinding to be a fun and rewarding experience, especially in crafting and skill leveling, others criticize it as tedious and overly time-consuming, with some suggesting it serves mainly to extend playtime without meaningful progression. Overall, if you appreciate grind-heavy gameplay, this title may be a good fit, but it may not suit those looking for a more streamlined experience.
“Grinding is unreal.”
“Very grindy, gathering resources can take up a lot of your time.”
“Briefly, the chief negatives for me beyond the obvious are the fact that the game is intensely grindy for no real overall purpose beyond padding playtime, the mainland is very small and has little to actually do beyond grind.”

The game's story is criticized for being disjointed and lacking depth, with many players feeling it consists mainly of tedious quests rather than a cohesive narrative. While the starter island serves as a tutorial that introduces mechanics, it is often described as overly long and confusing, leading to frustration with quest tracking and completion. Overall, players express disappointment in the storytelling aspect, feeling it detracts from the overall experience.
“The starter island and quests don't hold your hand but lead you in the right direction.”
“You start off with nothing on a noob island and have to do quests to get off of it and join the actual players.”
“Additionally, you can't escape the starter island without doing all the quests, which helps you learn a lot about the game and is well worth it.”
“It sort of got itself wrong time and the wrong foot; 5/10 for it is alright here and there, but the confusion is the story where you started.”
“For the amount charged, this game was subpar in the graphics and there was no story, just a series of quests to do, and they were not even all that fun.”
“Grind this and grind that, but no story.”
