    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth, particularly in explaining key mechanics like dual wielding and magichange with fusion monsters, which are integral to the narrative. Reviewers express frustration over the limited scope of guides that focus mainly on the main storyline and basic gameplay, leaving out crucial details that would enhance the overall experience.

    • “The guide seems to primarily focus on the fixed story maps and bonus maps, but does little else beyond explaining the basics of gameplay, which is fine for beginners, but it left me frustrated that I didn't get the information that I actually bought the guide for.”
    • “They don't cover dual wielding even though the story is littered with those characters, and they don't explain magichange with fusion monsters, which is also present in the story.”
    • “I definitely needed a strategy guide to tell me that I needed to play the game to progress the story.”
    • “Sadly, it only goes over the main story, Dimension-X, and characters rather than talking about less obvious things like item duping, character/unit suggestions, etc. I read this guide in the toilet or when I am bored rather than getting information.”
