6 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in "Beyond Dawn" is a mixed bag; while it has a strong focus on characters and world-building, many reviewers feel it suffers from time constraints, leading to a less satisfying narrative experience. Players embark on a journey that delves into the struggles of various factions, but the linearity and limited health restoration options can detract from the overall enjoyment. Despite these issues, the plot develops in a realistic manner, reflecting the creators' passion for storytelling.

“Had I attempted to level up by 'more random battles' (remember, totally linear story), I'd have died anyway: no way to restore health except for discovered potions - and they are insufficient to keep the duo alive.”
“The plot really takes shape in a realistic way.”
