The graphics of the game are widely praised for their unique and appealing art style, which many players find cute and well-executed. However, there are significant concerns regarding performance issues, including crashes and graphical errors, which detract from the overall experience. While the visuals are a strong point, the gameplay often feels repetitive and hindered by ads, leading to mixed reviews on the overall graphical experience.
- “The art style is wonderful, super crisp and clean, and very well done.”
- “I love the art style!!!!”
- “Really nice visuals and after the current update, isn't too grindy either, pretty good game.”
- “Other than the stylish art style, there's nothing that really gets your gears going other than continuous grinding.”
- “I mainly got interested because of the art style, it looked like Helltaker, but it won't even let me get past the dialogue screen without freezing and crashing. It'd be nice if a fix patch or something gets released.”
- “I played for an hour and lost about 40 minutes of my progress, so I'm probably not returning until all these bugs (graphical, UI, and performance bugs) are at least addressed.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for being overly aggressive, with players frequently required to watch ads to access rewards, progress, and even basic functions. Many users feel that the game leans heavily towards a cash grab model, with high in-app purchase prices and a significant reliance on advertisements that detract from the overall gameplay experience. While some appreciate the art style and gameplay, the overwhelming presence of ads has led to frustration and a perception that the game prioritizes monetization over player enjoyment.
- “No cash grab!”
- “It's an okay typical idle game but with witches, I guess, and with lots of in-app purchases.”
- “I like the gameplay and graphics, but like most idle games, the progress is significantly hindered by ads.”
- “Cute animations and character design; it had potential. That said, it's just an app to trick you into watching ads. Everything is an excuse to watch an ad: summons, the roulette, dungeons, etc. Daily tasks require you to watch an ad for each one to receive the reward.”
- “Unfortunately, the game will quickly turn into a cash grab or require you to watch hundreds of ads just to get anywhere.”

- “I like the gameplay and graphics, but like most idle games, the progress is significantly hindered by ads.”

- “There are some translation issues with the game; you'll sometimes find yourself reading Korean text, and the descriptions for some upgrades and mechanics are poorly made.”
- “A lot of the mechanics don't make sense.”
- “Unfortunately, it loses points for a scuffed translation and a UI that's so big, it encroaches on the actual gameplay.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many players noting a lack of engaging narrative and minimal quests, leading to a repetitive grind. Technical issues, such as lag and glitches, further hinder the experience, preventing players from fully experiencing any storyline. While some appreciate the concept, overall feedback suggests that the story is underdeveloped and not a significant draw for the game.

- “Has a storyline.”
- “Why can't I play the rest? I can only play the main story!?”
- “There's no story to the game, it's just another AFK clicker.”
- “No events, no story, just grind without any changes.”
- “Hello devs, when I first installed this game it went smoothly until starting the game just massively lagged the whole game a lot. Couldn't even start the story due to this lag. I would change it to 5 stars if you got time and fixed it; I would be happy. Edit: and then the game doesn't start with the lag, it just goes black screen. Edit 2: even the ads make the game lag as hell.”
