The story in this game is generally described as short, simple, and somewhat generic, often feeling like an afterthought to the gameplay. While it features a cute premise involving a fairy protecting her forest, many reviewers noted that the narrative lacks depth and is filled with clichéd elements typical of anime. Despite its brevity and predictability, some players found the story engaging enough to complement the enjoyable combat mechanics, though it is often recommended to focus more on gameplay than the plot itself.
- “A story of a fairy, her forest, and everyone she has ever punched in the face.”
- “The main mode of the game introduces the story behind the characters and their purposes: humans are searching for a special heartstone, which in fact rests inside your master tree, and it is up to you to rid of the golems and bosses they send in your direction.”
- “The storytelling also interjects every 5 days in visual novel style, presenting nuanced characters in a fairly concise plot, which can be cleared in just a couple of hours skills-wise.”
- “The story is forgettable, the enemies' projectile attacks are hard to see and the enemies themselves are unimaginative, but it doesn't matter too much because the gameplay itself is fun enough for as long as you'll need to beat it.”
- “The story isn't interesting anyway, so just skip past the text.”
- “The story is very light, however, and can be finished in an hour or two.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it can become tedious due to repetitive stages and button-mashy combat, some appreciate the challenge and skill required in boss fights.

- “Each stage is a single screen, where you must defeat every enemy in a series of waves, before moving back to the ability shop/character menu for the next stage; truthfully, this can get a little tedious, as you end up dealing with this 'same stage, different foes' design for large parts of the game.”
