  • story20 mentions

    The game's story is described as fairly simple and clichéd, with some players noting it could benefit from better organization and clarity in quest tracking. While the narrative has potential and is considered decent by some, it suffers from bugs and misleading quest descriptions that detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, a few players found the story engaging and well-crafted, contributing to the game's addictive nature.

    • “I'm not usually one for reviews but I have to say this game is addicting and the story is really well done.”
    • “I give this game a 7/10; it has really good music and story. I would love if there was a way to keep track of quest givers and maybe how to get to them because there are some quest givers in the game who you have to remember to go down a certain path to get to.”

  • stability3 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent crashes and unresponsive controls, particularly during combat. Players have reported persistent bugs with quest acceptance, which disrupts the gameplay experience by forcing them to return to the main menu after each quest. Overall, the lack of improvements in stability from previous updates has left users frustrated.

    • “The game is buggy and likes to crash a lot.”
    • “Buggy game, could not fight enemies - clicking the attack button does nothing.”
    • “Questing seems to have no improvements from the previous update; it's still buggy. My problem with quest acceptance is that after you take one quest, you are sent back to the main option instead of being able to take another quest, forcing you to go to the quest acceptance stand again for more quests.”
