The story in the game is generally well-received, with players enjoying the engaging narrative and RPG elements. However, there are notable frustrations regarding quest progression, such as unresponsive quest givers and issues with completing final quests, which detract from the overall experience. Players have expressed a desire for better quest management to avoid repetitive tasks and ensure smoother gameplay.
“Especially when I finished my first main dungeon with a very important boss (according to the quest line).”
“Fun RPG adventure game with a great storyline.”
“One thing that bugs me is the final quest can't be completed.”
“When you finish the quest, the game ends, and when it reloads, you can't go turn it in.”
“On return, I received another quest from the same character to kill 30 imps... I just killed those when I was killing goblins... I should be able to get those two quests from the beginning; it was very annoying to go to the cave and kill those monsters again.”
