The story has been criticized for its poor translation, making it difficult for English-speaking players to follow and enjoy. While some reviewers find the main narrative not particularly bad, they feel it lacks the quality and engagement found in other titles within the same genre. Overall, the story does not meet expectations, especially for those seeking a compelling narrative experience.
“So if you come for the story or any of the dialogues and are only able to read English - skip it, it's messed up to a degree where you don't understand anything.”
“I haven't quite finished the main story and I probably won't, to be honest. There's nothing particularly bad about the game (except for some translation errors, which are passable in my opinion), but there are just many things that don't really make it that good, especially when compared to other titles in the same genres.”
