The story aspect of the game is marred by significant design flaws, including impossible quest requirements and events that are unavailable when needed, leading to player frustration. While the game offers a simplistic progression system that allows for idle gameplay, it lacks depth and meaningful engagement, making it feel more like a time-waster than a compelling narrative experience. Overall, the story fails to provide a satisfying or coherent journey for players.
- “Events that cannot be accomplished at all due to complete designer incompetence, such as being required to complete more of a quest than is possible to be completed (complete 40 guild quests in 24 hours... guild quest 24-hour limit is 30). Participating in a specific daily event that isn't even available on that day, and unlocking and upgrading partners that can only be used to unlock and upgrade the same useless partners. There are many more issues like this.”
- “For the beginners quest, they have you doing some clicks to progress through it, but once you make it through all of those, the game fully plays itself. The only time you really have to click anything is for upgrading skills or armor.”
- “You kill a lot of things and level up a ton to level 50, then you just let it circle quest and boss fight. If you don't mind phone games and you like idlers, it's pretty interesting. I wish there were Steam achievements to work towards since obviously I'm not going to be a pay-to-win king whale, but regardless, it seems like an okay time waster for the background so far.”

Players note that grinding in the game is limited and can be frustrating due to pay-to-win elements and frequent player-versus-player interruptions. While some find enjoyment in the grind for drops, others feel that the experience is marred by the need for extensive time investment and the competitive nature of the environment. Overall, opinions are mixed, with some players appreciating the grind while others criticize it as tedious and unfair.
- “Idle but have a limit to grind, pay-to-win, everyone randomly killing you while grinding.”
- “I play for a bit and then set the game to grind monsters for drops.”
- “It is kind of pay-to-win, yes, but if you grind enough, you can get pretty much everything the game has to offer. I think that the people giving bad reviews are those who are not dedicated enough to enjoy grinding all day.”
