“Lots of bugs and glitches, but the story is amazing.”
“The story was simple to follow, and that's always a good thing.”
“I enjoyed the story, too, and had a laugh at the final reveal.”
“A few other problems I had were the boring and repetitive side quests, the terrible story (I know they all have terrible stories, but this one just felt extra poorly made, especially for a $5 game) with the laughably bad attempt at what I think was a plot twist at the end, and this one random duck named Dory who served no purpose in the game other than to bug me at the start.”
“There isn't much story to the game, but the plot twist at the end was hilarious.”
“So overall, well worth the price, and I'm glad I suffered the grind long enough to be able to finish the main story.”

The grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention among players, with many noting that while it can be enjoyable, it often becomes tedious and repetitive, especially when maxing out skills or levels. Some players appreciate the variety introduced every 10 levels, which helps alleviate monotony, but others feel that the overall grind detracts from the fun. Ultimately, the game is recommended for those who enjoy grinding, but may not appeal to players who prefer a more streamlined experience.
“Getting to max level in your stats feels way too grindy and moving around the map takes forever.”
“Way too grindy, only one mini game for 50 levels.”
“It felt like those old NES RPGs where the game itself was short but to beef up the play time they require a lot of grinding.”
