The game's story is praised for its emotional depth and intriguing themes of betrayal and humanity's struggle, enhanced by the personal backstories of the characters. However, the delivery through stylized panels rather than animated scenes, along with rushed story beats and poorly written dialogue, detracts from the overall experience. While the plot is considered interesting, many players find the execution lacking, with issues in clarity and pacing that hinder deeper character exploration and worldbuilding.
- “While much of the story is delivered through short sequences and stylized panels rather than fully animated scenes, the themes of betrayal, corrupted faith, and humanity’s final desperation give the campaign emotional pull.”
- “Each hunter’s personal backstory feeds into the broader conflict, and the revelations about the cardinals and the nature of the divine add layers of intrigue.”
- “The game is good, the plot is interesting, the quests are playable, the drawing is super!”
- “Story beats can feel rushed, dialogue lacks the nuance needed to elevate dramatic moments, and the campaign concludes faster than expected, leaving little room for deeper character exploration or worldbuilding.”
- “The game play is frustrating due to poor controls and the story is nearly incomprehensible due to the broken English.”
- “Honestly, it seemed more like a story since you don't get to play the basic theme of brutally destroying things, and when you do, it feels so drawn out and slowly boring.”
