The story is criticized for being barebones and lacking depth, leaving players confused about their character's motivations and the overall narrative. While the fast-paced action may appeal to some, the absence of a coherent plot detracts from the experience for those seeking a meaningful storyline.
“The story is captivating and features unique character designs that enhance the overall experience.”
“The narrative is engaging, drawing players in with its intriguing plot and well-developed characters.”
“The plot is sadly barebones and non-existent at this time, and you're unceremoniously dropped into the action; great if you want to just jump into the action, less great if you want to know why you're a dragon kid going around shooting everything up.”
“Ignoring the fact that the boss design has anything to do with the story, the constant flashing rave lasers and the background effects are overwhelming, making it hard to focus on anything else.”
“Story and odd character designs.”
