The game's story is praised for its traditional storytelling style, complemented by excellent music and voice acting, along with impressive in-game cinematics. Set in a medieval high fantasy world, it features a clear dichotomy of good versus evil, offering a refreshing contrast to the morally ambiguous narratives common in contemporary games.
- “The outstanding qualities of this game are the old-fashioned storytelling, great music, and voice acting, along with about half an hour of excellent in-game movies.”
- “The setting is medieval/high fantasy, and you have one faction that seems to be perfectly pure and good, which makes a change from the shades of grey you get in most storytelling these days.”
- “The story is predictable and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “The characters are one-dimensional and fail to evoke any real emotional response.”
- “The plot twists are uninspired and feel forced, detracting from the overall experience.”

The monetization strategy of the game is perceived as exploitative, with users suggesting it serves primarily as a nostalgia cash grab rather than a genuine effort to revive abandonware.
- “This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try to profit from abandonware.”
- “The monetization strategy feels exploitative, as it prioritizes profit over player experience.”
- “I can't believe how many microtransactions are crammed into this game; it feels like a constant money grab.”
