- “Storyline does the job of smoothly moving the game along and is enhanced by a voice over in certain parts.”
- “This RPG Maker shovelware has a very unoriginal story about two soldiers ending a war, but it does boast some mediocre voice acting to go with the high school fan fiction writing, but that didn't really make any difference as far as public reception goes.”
- “The gameplay sucks most due to the combat, no healing, no shops, not a lot of story/lore/weapons and armor keep breaking everywhere I turn around.”
- “The so-far linear story doesn't seem to lend itself to playing over and over, but we'll see.”

Overall, while the game shows ambition, it struggles with execution in key areas.
- “The pacing is fluid, allowing it to build up to the more engaging scenes while never feeling like it gets in the way of gameplay.”

- “If there's one thing this game doesn't lack in its gameplay, it's ambition.”
- “Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
- “The gameplay suffers most due to the combat; there is no healing, no shops, and not a lot of story or lore. Weapons and armor keep breaking everywhere I turn.”
- “Very short, only about 2 hours of gameplay.”
