    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story revolves around an ancient civilization that sought refuge underground from a war, primarily conveyed through collectibles and descriptions, especially towards the end. While the plot is relatively straightforward, translation issues and minor typos can hinder comprehension, requiring players to re-read certain lines. Overall, players appreciate the narrative despite its flaws, particularly when focusing on exploration rather than combat.

    • “From what I could gather from the translation, the story tells a tale of an ancient civilization that tried to hide away underground from a war.”
    • “I had a fun time playing this game; I like the story and the skills you can unlock via defeating the various bosses.”
    • “Most of the story is in the collectibles, various descriptions, and a big chunk towards the end.”
    • “The translation isn't great, and much of the story you will need to take a guess on.”
    • “As the game was made by a small team who all speak Japanese as their first language, there are many minor translation mistakes and typos. There are even a couple of very minor characters whose dialogue is still in Japanese. However, this specific text is not relevant to the plot or any gameplay knowledge and can be ignored by the player without consequence. Due to the game's relatively simple plot, these translation issues do not make the story hard to understand, but they did cause me to have to re-read several lines in order to understand what they were supposed to say.”
