The gameplay is generally praised for its fun core loop, challenging mechanics, and extensive customization options, making it engaging and addictive, especially in multiplayer settings. However, it suffers from issues like repetitive gameplay, lackluster enemy variety, and excessive dialogue that can disrupt pacing. While the remaster brings notable improvements, some players find the overall experience feels incomplete due to its convoluted mechanics and underwhelming narrative.
- “Its core gameplay is challenging and satisfying in equal measure, with plenty of customizable options and upgrades to keep you hooked.”
- “Fun core gameplay loop, especially zipping around with thorns, latching onto a monster and desperately sawing its arm off is exhilarating; the loop is even more fun with friends!”
- “Higher resolution allows for the aesthetic to truly shine while the frame rate makes for more fluid combat. Unique setting with some interesting world-building. Solid gameplay loop with plenty to unlock and upgrade.”
- “Though solid, the gameplay loop quickly becomes repetitive due to lackluster enemy variety and objectives. Some awful English voice acting for the non-human characters. Controls can get finicky at times. Occasionally long-winded dialogue exchanges.”
- “Repetitive gameplay, unimpressive graphics and designs, underwhelming story and themes.”
- “Enemy variety and gameplay mechanics are just a bit sparse, unfinished story results in an unfulfilling narrative, and the abundance of dialogue ruins the pacing of the early game.”

The story in Freedom Wars is described as ambitious but ultimately flawed, with many reviewers noting its convoluted narrative and slow pacing that detracts from gameplay enjoyment. While it starts with promise, lengthy exposition and fetch missions often hinder the experience, leading to an underwhelming and unfinished narrative. Despite these issues, some players appreciate the unique storytelling elements and updated audio and graphics.
- “Despite its issues, Freedom Wars Remastered is a bold and ambitious title that offers a compelling blend of action, strategy, and unique storytelling.”
- “Freedom Wars struggles to feel complete in either story or gameplay, its only saving grace being that neither are so bad as to offend.”
- “Sadly, the story often gets in the way of the fun, especially near the beginning, while performance upgrades on the Switch are kept to a minimum - understandable to an extent, but a shame nevertheless.”
- “The story and setting start with a ton of promise, then whiffs entirely for the next several hours; progression and variety start to fizzle well before the post-game.”
- “An unfinished story results in an unfulfilling narrative, and the abundance of dialogue ruins the pacing of the early game.”
