The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and structure, with many players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative, quests, and missions to enhance gameplay. Users suggest incorporating elements like a storyline, character development, and various tasks to create a richer experience, similar to games like "Mount and Blade." Overall, while the game is appreciated for its potential, the absence of a compelling story and quests leaves players feeling unfulfilled.
- “The game is very unique, unlike most army games that aren't a free world and forces you to progress through the storylines.”
- “I love this game; it reminds me of Mount and Blade, but you need to add quests so you can get gold quicker and add in cavalry, spearmen, or trebuchets.”
- “If only there was a nice story like uniting the clan to overthrow an evil ruler/king, or talks in the market and saving lords to gain their trust.”
- “It's a wonderful game, but it would be better if you added a storyline.”
- “Wasted time. Storyline: 3/10, Control: 3/10, Graphics: 0/10.”
