The story in this game is criticized for lacking connection to its predecessors, particularly the first installment, which was praised for its character customization and engaging narrative. Reviewers feel that the new game has stripped away many elements that contributed to a compelling storyline, such as troop combat and base building, resulting in a less distinctive and engaging experience.
“The story is engaging and keeps you invested in the characters and their journeys.”
“The narrative is rich and well-developed, providing a deep and immersive experience.”
“The plot twists and character arcs are expertly crafted, making for a memorable storytelling experience.”
“It has no connection to Girls Civilization 1, and supposedly no association with Girls Civilization 3, which is a pity because GC1 was at least good at character customization and had a decent story. This game lacks any specialty whatsoever.”
“It cut much of what made the first game great, including massive troop combat, character customization, base building, sieges, and the storyline.”

Players find the game's humor to be enjoyable, particularly in moments of accidental chaos, such as mistakenly punching characters and facing unexpected consequences like being shot at. This blend of slapstick and situational comedy adds a lighthearted element to the gameplay experience.
“The game itself can be pretty fun and funny at times, especially when you forget the button to interact and end up punching someone, only to find yourself on the receiving end of a musket volley.”
“The humor in this game is top-notch; the unexpected moments always catch me off guard and leave me laughing.”
“I love how the game incorporates humor into its gameplay, making even the most serious situations feel light-hearted and entertaining.”
