The game's story is presented from the perspective of one of nine classes, reminiscent of classic turn-based RPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, which evokes a sense of nostalgia. While the narrative is described as "okay" and smooth in flow, players note that it becomes grindy after completing the story mode, although regular updates keep the content fresh. Overall, the story is charming and solid, appealing to fans of old-school RPG mechanics.
“This game hits home with nostalgia - the old school turn-based level grind, story, exploration - it's there.”
“Flow - the game flows very smoothly story-wise and in terms of movement.”
“You'll choose from one of nine classes to start but be witnessing the story as though it's from only one of those class' perspectives.”
“Once story mode is complete the game is kinda grindy.”
“The story is okay so far.”

The game features significant grinding, especially after completing the story mode, requiring players to invest either hundreds of dollars or thousands of hours to fully upgrade characters. While it appeals to fans of old-school RPGs and monster collection, the pay-to-win elements and extensive grind may deter those seeking a more balanced experience.
“Once story mode is complete, the game is kinda grindy.”
“Insanely pay-to-win if you don't want to spend literal thousands of hours grinding out fights for 'diamonds'.”
“I find it ludicrous that anyone can describe the game as 'not at all pay-to-win' when you are literally given the choice of grinding 1,000+ hours or simply paying $200 if you wish to fully upgrade a character.”
