- “Genuinely, the theme, the progression systems, the classes, mechanics, bosses, and pet system—all of these things rock.”
- “Fun mechanics that are easy to learn.”

The game is widely described as extremely grindy, requiring players to invest significant time in repetitive tasks such as farming bosses and collecting items, often leading to a monotonous experience. While some players appreciate the graphics and mechanics, many find the gameplay becomes tedious, especially without support from other players. Overall, it appeals to those who enjoy grinding, but can be overwhelming and frustrating for others.
- “Progression is limited to a point since getting some items needed will take either getting daily rewards, farming high level bosses, or paying money.”
- “Be very prepared to spend days and days with the same gear, same stats, and no real way to advance other than grinding time.”
- “Gameplay is boring and repetitive with grindy monetization stapled on top.”

- “Set in a bizarre, whimsical world, it invites players to uncover secrets through atmospheric visuals and abstract storytelling.”

The game's story is set in a whimsical world that encourages exploration through abstract storytelling and atmospheric visuals, but players find it difficult to grasp the narrative due to poor English translations and a focus on grinding for equipment. Many feel overwhelmed by the lack of clear goals, as the gameplay primarily revolves around completing daily quests rather than engaging with the story. Overall, the narrative aspect is perceived as minimal or unclear.
- “Set in a bizarre, whimsical world, it invites players to uncover secrets through atmospheric visuals and abstract storytelling.”
- “Main complaints are: poor English translations and an economy gated by daily quests (which you only get 2 of).”
- “That in itself makes it a bit overwhelming at the beginning and you don't really get a sense of what the story is or what the goals are (aside from grinding to get better equipment).”
- “☑ no story”

Overall, players feel there are superior alternatives available, particularly for English-speaking audiences.
- “In-game purchases: there's a whole shop.”
- “The monetization model is fair and offers a variety of options without feeling forced.”
- “Half the game is ads that they didn't even bother translating to English.”

The music in the game is described as having okay-quality sound but is criticized for being extremely repetitive, leading some players to want to mute it quickly. While there are efforts to enhance the overall experience, such as adapting control prompts and screen resolutions, the music loops are notably short and contribute to a mobile game feel. However, one standout track, "Xanadu," is praised for its exceptional quality.
- “Xanadu is probably the best rush song ever; Neil Peart loses his mind during that song.”
- “Okay-quality sound and music, but extremely repetitive; I wanted to mute it in minutes.”
- “It's not as egregious as some of the other mobile ports; they put in the effort to change control prompts, add PC screen resolutions, limited translation, etc. However, it's still a mobile game at the end of the day with all of its extremely large on-screen buttons, 30-second music loops, and sludgy movement.”
