The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth, with players describing it as shallow and primarily consisting of mundane quests that do not contribute to a compelling narrative. Progression is heavily reliant on completing a series of quests, which can feel tedious and repetitive, especially since the initial quests must be finished before advancing to new regions. Overall, the story is perceived as minimal, with players feeling more like adventurers engaged in trivial tasks rather than participants in a meaningful narrative.
“Progression in the game is determined by quests that you accomplish.”
“The first set of quests must be completed before further quests are available, and starting some of the next set of quests unlocks the next regions.”
“The game does not have a story, at least at the start; you're just adventurers doing adventure things.”
“The subject matter of the quests is shallow and completely banal.”
“The game does not have a story; at least at the start, you're just adventurers doing adventure things.”
“As some reviews pointed out, there are anti-magic and deep zone tiles present, and they're required to traverse to advance the main story.”

Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of frustration and enjoyment, with detailed map designs leading to unnecessary challenges and a shift in the game's overall vibe. Players note the reliance on RNG and minimal explanations for mechanics, alongside a controversial use of themes like racism as gameplay elements. While the class and race diversity is appreciated, many feel the gameplay lacks depth and engagement, with some mechanics, like guaranteed escapes, undermining exploration.
“I love the classes and the races, but the actual gameplay left me cold.”
“There is a class change mechanic, but I almost never use it in RPGs, so I haven't tried it. From what I've read, it lets you carry over spells from other classes.”
“The new map design is more detailed, but creates some unnecessary frustrations in gameplay and changed the entire vibe of the game.”
“It does nothing but reinforce that save scumming is an intended mechanic.”
“RNG everywhere, mechanics with minimal explanation, and more are here.”

The graphics of the game are praised for their appealing old-school Japanese art style and academy theme, which enhance the overall aesthetic experience. However, some users note that aside from the visual improvements, other aspects of the game remain unchanged, and the gameplay can be challenging, leading to frequent game overs.
“If you're looking for an old school dungeon-crawling game with Japanese art style and an academy theme, this is the game for you.”
“Tldr; nothing was improved besides the graphics.”
“Don't let the aesthetics fool you, getting a game over in this game is pretty easy.”
