The story is criticized for being barebones and lacking depth, leaving players feeling unmoored as they are thrust into action without context. While the character designs are noted as odd, the overall narrative fails to provide a compelling reason for the gameplay, which may appeal to those seeking immediate action but disappoints those looking for a richer storyline.
- “The story is intriguing and filled with odd character designs that keep you engaged.”
- “The narrative is captivating, drawing you into a world that is both unique and imaginative.”
- “The character designs complement the story, creating a memorable and immersive experience.”
- “The plot is sadly barebones/nonexistent as of 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.”
- “Story and odd character designs.”
- “Ignoring the fact that the boss design has anything to do with the 'story', the rave lasers flashing along with the background slowly losing color until your eyes are bleeding from the monotone, constantly flashing visuals is overwhelming.”
