    The story is widely praised for its originality, cohesiveness, and engaging narrative that, while loosely based on the Fallout Equestria universe, offers a fresh and compelling experience with multiple endings. It effectively balances handcrafted main story areas with procedurally generated dungeons, providing a clear and enriching plot that resonates with both fans and newcomers. Despite some linearity, the story's depth, character development, and creative liberties contribute to a memorable and enjoyable gameplay experience.

    • “For being completely free and fandom based, this game has numerous locations, bosses, so many characters and an impressive, consistent storyline.”
    • “The quests are so enriching and even the dialogue is fun to read.”
    • “Instead of a meandering journey that takes almost 1/3rd of its length for the main plot to get going, the game repurposes the good into a more cohesive narrative without the self-righteous and insufferable, wishy-washy characters.”
    • “Stats, dialogue options, and speech checks are limited, and sidequests consist mostly of fetch quests and special mini-dungeons.”
    • “While gameplay can be repetitive and the story is linear, the game is still challenging.”
    • “The main story is linear and only loosely based on the original Fallout Equestria events, with multiple endings.”

    The gameplay is generally praised for being satisfying, challenging, and fun, with a solid and addicting 2D platformer shooter experience that incorporates RPG mechanics and unique pony-themed abilities. However, some find it repetitive, content-heavy, and occasionally frustrating, especially on higher difficulties, with a few criticisms aimed at the lack of bespoke level design and narrative progression. Overall, it offers a competent, content-rich experience that stands out within its genre.

    • “Remains is like if you took most of Fallout's core mechanics, took the basic gamefeel of games like Terraria and Starbound, and transplanted it into a dungeon crawler.”
    • “Melee and gunplay is satisfying, there's a decent variety of enemies, and it being ponies actually serves the gameplay with 360 degree aiming, long-ranged melee and a variety of spells and telekinesis abilities.”
    • “There is a ton of missable content which has massive gameplay effects, so make sure you look up the wiki.”
    • “The game clearly does a few things right (or at least tries to) but it all really falls short and trips over the content bloat issue: the game seems to be a long experience for at least several hours per run but the game is just boring and the gameplay is average at best.”
    • “The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and so on.”

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some praising the game's thoughtful, retro 2D art style and visual creativity that complements its gameplay and story, especially appreciated by fans. However, others find the graphics outdated and underwhelming for a modern game, comparing them unfavorably to browser or mobile titles despite the evident effort put into their design. Overall, visuals are seen as fitting the game's aesthetic, though not technically impressive.

    • “The story is awesome, the visuals and animations are good.”
    • “Story, gameplay and graphics are great for a pony fan game, it really shows how much effort was put into it.”
    • “Super cute, I enjoyed all the art and visuals.”
    • “The graphics aren't that impressive and somewhat grindy at times.”
    • “The weak-looking 2D retro assets seem like they belong more in a browser game or a mobile app.”
    • “3D graphics accelerators became mainstream in the mid-1990s with cards like the ATI Rage and Voodoo3D; there's no excuse for such poor 2D graphics in 2025.”
  • music

    The music in the game is a mix of royalty-free tracks and possibly some original pieces, with some users finding certain tracks, like the boss music, somewhat out of place. However, others praise the soundtrack as gorgeous and highly enjoyable, enhancing the overall experience. The easily replaceable music files also encourage custom soundtrack mods.

    • “The soundtrack is gorgeous.”
    • “After Remains: absolute cinema, had so much fun, loved the story, gameplay and music.”
    • “The music is... fine: it's mostly stuff from royalty-free packs or singles liked by Empalu (even including at least one from the YouTube audio library), and I don't know how much of it is original and made for the game.”
    • “I think the boss music is a little bit out of place.”
    • “As a composer, it's half tempting to make a custom soundtrack mod for the game if I had the time - it's easy to replace everything, as all the music is contained in a folder.”

    Grinding in the game can be noticeable, especially if your build is suboptimal or during the early stages, potentially leading to extended leveling sessions. While some fights are challenging even on easier difficulties, proper strategy or guidance can minimize grinding. Overall, the grind is occasional but manageable and tied closely to player preparation and playstyle.

    • “Some of the fights even on easy are pretty difficult, the recommended difficulty for a first playthrough - I'd suggest consulting a guide on builds before playing. It's certainly that kind of game where if you mess up your build, you'll be grinding for hours to fix it.”
    • “Slightly grindy at times, but the game is a decent side scroller/RPG hybrid.”
    • “And while the game has some flaws - it's somewhat grindy at times, the graphics aren't that impressive and so on - it was made with a lot of thought, love, and passion, and it feels.”

    The game’s stability on the older Adobe Air version is notably poor, with numerous bugs and glitches reported. Users hope the newer version has addressed these issues for improved performance.

    • “I have many hours on the game but on the older Adobe Air version which is very buggy, so I hope they fixed it.”

  • optimization

    The game suffers from poor optimization, with frequent frame drops and stuttering during long sessions, likely due to its Adobe-based development and a 30fps cap that can lead to performance issues.

    • “The game is notorious for very bad optimization because it was made on Adobe, so frame drops might occur occasionally.”
    • “The game is limited to 30fps, and long sessions tend to start stuttering and breaking down after a while, requiring a restart.”
  • replayability

    The game offers substantial replayability thanks to a deep levelling system that makes each level-up feel meaningful, alongside a wide variety of builds to explore. It stands out as one of the most feature-complete and replayable titles in its niche, especially notable given the common challenges faced by similar projects.

    • “It has a surprising amount of depth and content, with a lot of replay value because of how the leveling system works; every level-up feels satisfying and meaningful, and there's a good variety of builds to try.”
    • “It's probably one of the most feature complete and replayable MLP fan games out there, which is impressive considering how many of these projects fail due to over-ambition and lack of skill.”
