The game lacks any narrative or storytelling elements, with users noting that it features only a small map and random enemy encounters. It is primarily focused on achievements rather than delivering a compelling story.
“It's one small map with a small handful of enemies to fight in random encounters and no story whatsoever.”

The music in "Achievement Lurker" is generally considered lackluster, with players expressing a desire for a more engaging soundtrack to accompany the gameplay. While the game may not offer an impressive musical experience, a suggestion is made for a fun background music mix to enhance the grinding experience. Overall, the soundtrack does not meet the expectations for a game with a focus on immersive storytelling and graphics.
“If you do go that route at some point, maybe you could put some awesome music to listen to during the grind instead.”
“Talking about some 30 - 60 minute music mix that's fun to have running in the background.”
“If you are searching for a game with amazing graphics, great storytelling, and a soundtrack that brings eargasms, this isn't it; what did you expect when a game names itself Achievement Lurker?”
