  • story

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of clarity and support, making quests and crafting feel overwhelming and poorly executed. While it offers a nostalgic and humorous tone, the overall experience is marred by bugs and a confusing interface, leading to frustration rather than engagement. Many players hope that with community support, the game can improve and provide a more coherent narrative experience.

    • “Bottom line: storymode has a good sense of nostalgia and humor, but is otherwise a bug-ridden mess.”
    • “Perhaps one day, with much community support, storymode will become more a game and less an exercise in community frustration.”
    • “The menus are littered with options to do, the crafting menu is laid out so poorly that I don't know what to do, and the quests are so badly done that I often wonder what the point of them even are.”
    • “It would be more likely that I end up never completing a quest or crafting an item.”
    • “Perhaps one day, with much community support, Storymode will become more a game and less an exercise in community frustration.”

  • graphics

    The graphics have received largely negative feedback, with many users criticizing the retro pixel art and monochrome color scheme as unattractive. While some visuals, particularly in the game's hub, were noted as interesting, overall, the audiovisual experience was deemed unsatisfying, often marred by crashes and graphical errors.

    • “Great soundtrack, very interesting visuals in terms of the 'hub' at the beginning of the game.”
    • “The worst part is the ugly retro pixel graphics and monochrome colors.”
    • “Sometimes, perhaps sadly, potentially good games are accompanied by terrible graphics.”
    • “Audiovisuals were not satisfying.”

  • humor

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    83% positive mentions, -33% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game's humor is described as quirky and reminiscent of titles like Downwell and Undertale, appealing to fans of witty dialogue and funny monster/item names. However, some players find the humor inconsistent, with forced memes detracting from the experience, and overall, the game's clunky mechanics overshadow its comedic elements.

    • “Simply put, if you played a game like Downwell or Undertale and you liked the dialogue and humor feel of the game, you're going to like this game.”
    • “It is humorous and does its job of being a rogue-like game.”
    • “+ funny names for monsters & items”
    • “The humor in this game feels forced and unoriginal, making it more annoying than funny.”
    • “I found the jokes to be stale and lacking creativity, which really detracted from my overall enjoyment.”
    • “The attempts at humor often fall flat, leaving me feeling more frustrated than entertained.”

  • stability

    The stability of the game is criticized for being plagued with bugs, detracting from the overall experience, despite its nostalgic and humorous story mode.

    • “Bottom line: the story mode has a good sense of nostalgia and humor, but is otherwise a bug-ridden mess.”
    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
    • “I encountered multiple glitches that disrupted my gameplay experience.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the great soundtrack and interesting visuals. However, some users feel misled and express disappointment, citing a lack of rewarding gameplay relative to the difficulty.

    • “Great soundtrack, very interesting visuals in terms of the 'hub' at the beginning of the game.”
    • “I really like the music in this game, but I am a bit disappointed because I feel misled.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players find it enjoyable and engaging, particularly those who love JRPGs and RPGs, it may not appeal to everyone.
