The story in Frontier Quest is described as odd and somewhat disjointed, with a nostalgic charm that contrasts with its slow pacing and janky graphics. While each quest serves a purpose in unlocking new areas, players express a desire for clearer direction, such as an "active" quest arrow, to help navigate the accumulating tasks. Overall, the storytelling feels lacking, contributing to a tedious gameplay experience.
