The story of "Camp Buddy: Scoutmasters Season" is generally well-received, praised for its emotional depth and character development, making players genuinely care about the characters. While the narrative is engaging and features a good mix of humor and drama, some reviewers noted that certain plot points resolve too quickly and that the dialogue can be hit or miss. Overall, the game is recognized for its strong storytelling, though some players desire more character involvement and streamlined gameplay mechanics.
“Camp Buddy is one of the best BL visual novels in terms of story and the amount of content, so I'm glad to see that Scoutmasters Season is a fantastic sequel.”
“The story had me guessing a couple of times; it made me feel a lot of things.”
“The storyline is just perfect for both routes; it also has an amazing mini-game to unlock more past scenes that relate to the first game.”
“Is it a love story or just a raunchy escapade?”
“I like Camp Buddy, yet I have to say from my first time playing it, I noticed some cons that made it a bit dull for me, like too much talking and reminiscing with no faster route to the sex scenes. Additionally, there is no rewind option like there is in 'Coming Out on Top', which is very bad for the game because it makes it hard to see choices done easily and in fun ways. I have to either start a new file or reload without saving again, which gets harder the deeper the story goes. The third thing that bothers me very much is that 99% of all the characters shown here are circumcised.”
“The two main criticisms are that the plot centered around a certain character resolves itself a bit too quickly, which results in the plot derailing a bit in the late game, and that achievement hunting can get a bit repetitive after the second or third time with different choices.”

The emotional aspect of "Camp Buddy" is highlighted by its well-developed characters that evoke genuine feelings, making players care deeply about their stories. Reviewers note that the game successfully blends steamy elements with emotional depth, reminiscent of impactful experiences from other beloved titles like "Persona 4." Overall, it is described as surprisingly wholesome while still being engagingly sexy.
“Blits games know how to make a good visual novel and don't skimp on the steamy parts, but the real reason Camp Buddy shines is in the characters. It's one of the very few times I have ever gotten emotional for the story of a 'steamy' game, as you actually start to care for the characters. I was happy to see that Scoutmaster's Season also had lovable characters.”
“A faint echo of the way completing Persona 4 made me feel fifteen years ago.”
“The story had me guessing a couple of times; it made me feel a lot of things.”
