The story is criticized for being generic and disjointed, following a typical "heroes with powers save the world" formula, which lacks depth and engagement. The protagonist's name, "Lady," reflects a lack of creativity, further detracting from the overall narrative experience. While some reviewers note that the story isn't entirely bad, it ultimately feels aimless and uninspired.
“The story isn't bad.”
“This RPG Maker asset flip was basically phoned in; the developer even boasts that this has no bells or whistles. The plot is horribly generic, and the protagonist is called 'Lady,' I'm guessing because the developer doesn't know any women's names.”
“The story is your standard 'people with mysterious powers save the world from an evil empire' formula, but presented in a disjointed way such that it mostly feels aimless.”

The graphics in this RPG Maker game are generally considered decent, but the limitations of the engine result in poor fullscreen display and lack of full HD support, which may disappoint dedicated modern PC gamers. While some players appreciate the visuals, the overall quality is hindered by the engine's constraints.
“This is a nice RPG Maker game with pretty good graphics.”
“As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”

The gameplay is criticized for its low-quality, linear progression and repetitive design typical of RPG Maker titles, featuring basic 2D retro pixel art. While there are mildly interesting combat mechanics that prevent it from becoming entirely formulaic, the overall experience is deemed lacking and uninspired.
“The gameplay features a mostly linear progression from one map to the next, with frequent save points that restore all of your HP and MP, and mildly interesting combat mechanics that prevent it from becoming completely formulaic within a few hours.”
“Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low-quality, copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”

The humor in the game is characterized by a reliance on silly names, confusing acronyms, and poorly executed jokes that seem to resonate only with the creators, leaving many players unimpressed.
“It's full of stupid names, unexplained acronyms, utterly terrible jokes, and awful humor that was probably not funny to anyone except the author and their close friends.”
“The attempts at humor feel forced and often fall flat, leaving me cringing more than laughing.”
“I found the jokes to be outdated and lacking in creativity, making the humor feel stale and unoriginal.”
