The story in the game is praised for its complexity and engaging narrative, featuring a protagonist from a protectorate society on a quest to find her missing sister while battling monsters from a parallel dimension. Players appreciate the balance of storytelling with gameplay elements, noting that the evolving plot adds depth and variety compared to typical match-3 games. Overall, the narrative is well-received, with many eager for future installments in the series.
“Amazingly good story and soundtrack.”
“While this sounds like a very simple premise, as you play, you'll find that the story is much more complex than that and there are all sorts of little side plots going on.”
“While this game is part of a series, the story here is completely different and unrelated to the first game.”
“Story-wise, you are a nun-like member of some protectorate society in a magic-fantasy world that goes looking for her missing sister, only to get embroiled in a mission to save the world from monsters invading from an evil/hell parallel dimension.”
“I'd say because of the evolving story it's a bit less repetitive than smartphone match-3 games, certainly less repetitive than basic ones like Bejeweled, but several times it feels a bit of a slog, a bit like they put too many match-3 parts to stretch the gameplay instead of it being logical to do so.”

The gameplay features a unique blend of match-3 mechanics and adventure elements, appealing to fans of the series while introducing improvements. However, some players find the game overly lengthy and occasionally repetitive, as it sometimes feels like the match-3 segments are stretched to extend playtime rather than enhance the experience. Overall, the evolving story helps mitigate some of the repetitiveness typical of standard match-3 games.
“Unique level mechanics and fusion of adventure gameplay.”
“For those who liked the first entry in the series, this is an extremely long game in the exact same vein as the first, with several improvements in mechanics.”

“For those who liked the first entry in the series, this is an extremely long (a bit stretched too far, to be honest) game in the exact same vein of the first, with several improvements in mechanics and whatnot.”
“Those who never played or just don't remember... well, it's like an Artifex Mundi hidden object puzzle adventure game minus the hidden object and puzzle part, all replaced with match-3 game mechanics.”
“I'd say because of the evolving story it's a bit less repetitive than smartphone match-3 games, certainly less repetitive than basic ones like Bejeweled, but several times it feels a bit of a slog, as if they put too many match-3 parts to stretch the gameplay instead of it being logical to do so.”
