The game's story aspect is often criticized for lacking depth and clarity, with many players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative that explains the characters' motivations and the world they inhabit. While some enjoy the existing quests and the sense of progression, they feel that the repetitive nature of missions detracts from the overall experience, and there is a strong call for the addition of a dedicated story mode and more varied quests to enhance engagement. Overall, players appreciate the potential for a richer storyline but are frustrated by the current limitations and bugs affecting quest completion.
“I love how each place somehow has a story to it.”

“It's a really good game but I think you guys should add a story mode to it; it would be nice to know the story behind it and how these monsters come. Please try to read this; I really think a story mode should be added.”
