The story of Canvas Quest is described as generic and cheesy, revolving around a classic quest to defeat an "evil king," which some players find unoriginal and lacking depth. However, others appreciate its charm and pacing, suggesting that while the graphics may be subpar, the narrative still offers an engaging experience for those who prioritize gameplay over aesthetics. Overall, opinions on the story are mixed, with some finding it enjoyable despite its flaws.
“The story is a little cheesy yet has a good element to it.”
“Also the story has a good plot and moves along quite well.”
“The game has once again a great story and some people don't like the way the game looks, but how I see it, that doesn't change the gameplay and the gameplay is really what I desire most in a game.”
“To be blunt, I'm not an RPG fan; I usually consider games like Final Fantasy too long to play with a convoluted story.”
“The plot is painfully generic, as you adventure to fight the 'evil king'.”
“Canvas Quest is one of hundreds of low-effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit. In their own words, 'our easy-to-use tools are simple enough for a child.' Unlike most RPG Maker 'games', this replaces the usual low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker with MS Paint garbage; zero effort went into creating the game assets.”
