The story is generally described as simple, humorous, and engaging, with a lighthearted tone that complements the gameplay. While some reviewers note its brevity and cliché elements, they appreciate the entertaining cutscenes and character dynamics. Overall, the narrative is seen as a fun experience, though many express a desire for a longer story and more character development.
“With that out of the way, the story is both humorous and entertaining and certainly not completely implausible as far as actual RPG storylines go.”
“The story is brief and silly enough to be engaging, and the voice acting supports this well.”
“The story was fun and carefree... I could go on and on.”
“The story and the length of the game is really the downside of it, but it's still worth experiencing.”
“The story is pretty bare bones, with your generic character tropes and pretty basic cutscenes, but even with all that in mind, you can feel the love that was put into this game.”
“The story itself is somewhat cliché, but I suppose that's actually the point since this RPG is kind of a parody.”

The graphics of the game are highlighted for their unique and charming art style, which combines cool and quirky elements reminiscent of old-school JRPGs. Players appreciate the crisp HD visuals and the creativity behind the character and monster designs, often finding them both memorable and humorous. Overall, the artwork is considered the standout feature, enhancing the game's appeal despite its standard RPG mechanics.
“The art style is unique and I liked it; I also liked all the different types of monsters, and their names, quite often they made me laugh.”
“Fearless Fantasy has an art style that is both cool and crazy.”
“The artwork and the overall look of the game is the star, though.”
“When I first saw this, my reaction to the art style was basically 'what the hell is this nonsense?' Having played it, the answer is that it's amazing nonsense in the best traditions of old-school JRPGs, and full of hand-drawn cutscenes and fairly charming amateur voice acting for when you're not in combat.”
“Beyond the art style, Fearless Fantasy is more or less a standard JRPG with some clearly mobile-influenced elements, like the interface and being divided into short, selectable levels with three difficulty modes each.”
“The art style is what gets me on this game, and for me, that's what its most redeeming quality is.”

“If it had a more traditional gameplay interface, it would be much improved as a PC game experience.”
“Despite its fairly short length (only about 3 hours for me, including 2 replays of every level except for the last two), it manages to fully develop all of its mechanics, the well-tuned battle system making it so every action and decision really counts by the end of the game.”
“I don't want to spoil the story, but the art design, character design, voice acting, and game mechanics are all very well done for such a lesser-known title.”
