  • story18 mentions

    The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with players noting it offers almost no narrative beyond basic quests and a superficial plot recap. The experience is compared to a mobile game, featuring daily missions and a shop for purchasing items, which detracts from any potential storytelling. Overall, the game is seen as a minimalistic endeavor that fails to engage players with a meaningful story.

    • “She appears on the screen, not in the game, to tell you stuff, sell you stuff and do a sort of daily quest thing.”
    • “The quests are not really needed in a game like this but they are there.”
    • “Some 'obvious plot recap' stuff.”
    • “The game has pretty much 0 story; you are a knight tossed in multiple arenas.”
    • “But honestly, it's barely better than playing slot machines to win monopoly money - in many ways, a distillation of modern games to their fundamentals without any illusions of art or story.”
    • “The English translations are poor, and all in all, with the daily missions and store to purchase items with gems, it seems more like a mobile game.”
  • graphics14 mentions

    The graphics in "Grave Keeper" are described as cute and featuring decent chibi artwork, but overall, they are considered basic and lack the polish expected from modern games. The game suffers from a lack of resolution options and graphical tweaks, contributing to a shallow visual experience that does not compensate for its gameplay shortcomings. Despite some appealing assets, the inconsistency in art style and the overall low-quality presentation leave much to be desired.

    • “Decent chibi type artwork, with one exception.”
    • “The art style of this one picture is totally different from the entire rest of the game.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
    • “It's far below the state of the art visuals gamers expect as a result of their decisions.”
    • “The graphics are cute, but there's little else to recommend the game.”
  • gameplay8 mentions

    The gameplay is criticized for being basic and shallow, especially in contrast to the high-quality graphical assets, leading to a disconnect between visual appeal and interactive depth. While the game runs smoothly on various systems, it suffers from bugs, including controller issues, which detract from the overall experience. Despite these flaws, some players find it enjoyable enough for a few hours of play.

    • “Game looks good, with bugs: my controller stopped responding several times and had to close the game (an original Xbox controller). Gameplay looks okay and runs smoothly on pretty much anything; it has almost everything that I would like to spend a few hours in this game.”
    • “The credits page only cites two developers for this, but if you look at all the graphical assets and compare the quality of those to the incredibly basic, shallow, bare minimum gameplay, it doesn't add up.”
    • “Why would they put so much effort into creating those assets and then not bother with any gameplay to go along with it?”
    • “However, the mechanics don't change.”
  • grinding8 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, often suggesting that it's better to avoid excessive farming and focus on saving resources for upgrades. While some appreciate the game's charm, many describe it as dull and overly reliant on grinding mechanics.

    • “It's the perfectly dull, boring, and repetitive game with nothing but grinding in it.”
    • “Cute little game, although a bit grindy.”
    • “Keep death-farming till you level up your armor enough?”
  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game raises concerns among users, as its quality is often compared to that of asset flips and cash grab scams, leading to skepticism about its value. While there is no definitive evidence to label it as such, the perception of low quality remains a significant issue.

    • “There's no hard evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here is indistinguishable from many asset flip/cash grab scams, and that's a problem in itself.”
  • stability2 mentions

    The game is reported to be highly unstable, with numerous bugs affecting the overall experience.

    • “It's also really, really buggy.”
