    • “The story is mostly obnoxious and shallow, and the gameplay is fairly luck-heavy (though honestly not more than many RPGs are), but overall the combat system is neat, and not grindy.”
    • “Just when the story starts to develop, it's over.”

  • replayability
    54 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game has been criticized for its low replayability, with many players noting that once completed, there is little incentive to play again due to repetitive gameplay and limited content.

    • “It's just simply way too easy, and although it's designed to have replay value with multiple endings, it simply doesn't make me want to play through it again.”
    • “No replay value whatsoever because the game does not change.”

    • “Loved the jokes and overall atmosphere.”
  • grinding
