The story aspect of the game is criticized for its inadequate tutorial, which fails to provide sufficient guidance. Players note that the narrative is minimal, primarily revolving around basic quests that lack depth.
- “The tutorial is awful; it does not explain much, and you quickly realize that there is not much to the story, just the basic quests of Dorfromantik.”
