The story is criticized for being short and lacking ambition, with players experiencing minimal character dialogue and excessive grinding that detracts from narrative progression. While there is a moral about perseverance, the overall plot fails to engage, leaving players frustrated with the gameplay rather than invested in the story.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “-- the plot is very short and not very ambitious.”
- “Sadly, this is the only thing I can find any positives for about the game considering I've had maybe 5 minutes of actual dialogue with the characters, and the other 55 grinding trying to progress what should be the intro to a story.”
- “After almost an hour of trying, and dying multiple times I was not able to beat the second mandatory group of enemies to help branch out the story from more than three other maps, two of which had a few healing herbs that would be used up in a single normal battle.”
