Créateurs et joueurs s'accordent sur l'appréciation des graphismes et du gameplay, souvent salués pour leur qualité et leur fidélité à l'univers d'Avatar. En revanche, ils divergent radicalement sur le contenu et l'UI : les joueurs pointent du doigt un manque de profondeur et une interface perfectible, tandis que les créateurs, en nombre limité, semblent moins sensibles à ces défauts ou les abordent de manière plus nuancée.
