The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with players noting that it lacks a coherent narrative or engaging plot, relying instead on repetitive quest types such as "kill this many enemies" or "defeat a boss." While the missions provide a framework for gameplay, they often feel grindy and uninspired, leading to a sense of monotony. Overall, players express a desire for more variety and depth in the quest design to enhance the overall experience.
- “This game is quite unique in that it is an ARPG with a hub and instanced quests similar to what you'd see in the Monster Hunter series.”
- “The quest areas to explore are quite large, but often do not have to be fully explored to complete the quest; however, exploring them before completing the quests can be beneficial as chests are scattered around.”
- “The game has a lot of challenge and when you get to the level 20+ quests you really feel the heat, playing with friends, making up strategies on how to take on quests when you have 3 bears, fire wolves, cougars, and other wildlife and monsters roaming around makes you take things by chance and laugh when you mess up and die.”
- “There is no story.”
- “If you are expecting some kind of story, even a simple save the world or rescue a princess type adventure, then you will be very disappointed because there is zero story.”
- “The lack of purpose and story is hardly the only problem with this game however.”

- “The majority of the gameplay itself, so far, consists of the 'go here, kill that' type of quests that are the mainstay of RPGs the world over.”
