The story of the game is generally described as straightforward and somewhat cliché, featuring familiar RPG tropes such as quests, an empire, and rebellion.

- “The storyline and character development stoke excitement and the desire to see the adventure all the way through.”
- “The story is the high point of the game; it's a classic, with mystery, love, betrayal, hate, and friendship.”
- “The plot is nice with good writing, which doesn't make me feel like skipping everything; even the side quest plotlines are good!”
- “The story is flatter than an 8-year-old girl, the characters are dumber than a goldfish, and the fighting system is not even remotely different from the standard RPG Maker VX Ace one.”
- “The story was decent, although the writing was unpolished and could have benefited from some good editing.”
- “The story is simple.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics, including a strategic battle system and customizable skills, reminiscent of classic RPGs like Final Fantasy IV. While the game features a well-structured leveling system and a memorable story, some players noted pacing issues and a particularly lengthy final dungeon that detracted from the overall experience. Overall, the gameplay is solid for an RPG Maker title, offering a mix of traditional and unique elements that keep players invested.
- “The 'threat' system during battles prods the player towards more strategic gameplay, instead of going in and using all of your most powerful abilities to quickly destroy opponents.”
- “The complex battle mechanic means that the customizable skill system and equipment options throughout the game are very rewarding.”
- “The gameplay is really fun, with lots of customizing through augments and skills, allowing for adjustments for different areas and bosses.”
- “It's neat that the map opens up pretty much right away, and I think the leveling and advancement system is cool, but it's got a slow, trudging pace and the story and gameplay don't really stand out.”
- “I'm all for a challenging, decently sized dungeon to finish off a game, but when your final dungeon is about as time-consuming as 1/3 the total gameplay time it took you to reach the dungeon in the first place, it's a bit overboard.”
- “The usual problem with RPG Maker is that the gameplay is stale and the character personalities are paper thin.”

- “The music was composed by the developer, and it definitely helps to set the tone for most situations in the game.”
- “The developer composed all of the music, about two dozen tracks, which really raises the bar compared to most small studios.”
- “The story is good and unpredictable, the gameplay is solid, and the music is surprisingly catchy.”
- “The music plays way too loud in the beginning and it's very generic; the story is sort of spoiled/told to you in the intro, characters didn't really resonate with me, and controls don't feel good (you have to use a mouse to play this, no remapping to WASD).”
- “The music is nothing special, but it didn't annoy me, so it's alright.”
- “Audio was pretty good; I really didn't listen to it most of the time, but I do believe they had the same soundtrack for almost every dungeon (I may be wrong).”

- “One of the hallmarks of a JRPG is frequent combat, which can quickly feel repetitive and grindy.”
- “Of course, the last chapter is nothing but a huge grinding level which prepares you to take on the final boss.”
- “Not a lot of excitement or crazy plot twists, but nicely executed without any serious jumps in difficulty or excessive grinding.”
