The story in this game is generally seen as enjoyable but not as epic or engaging as its predecessor, "Knight Bewitched."

Players note that the sequel lacks a bestiary, making it more challenging to identify which enemies to farm for rare drops. Additionally, the combat requires more strategy than simply mashing "attack," unless players choose to engage in tedious grinding to overlevel their characters.
- “Unfortunately, the sequel doesn't have the bestiary that the first game had, which means it can be harder to keep track of which enemies one should prioritize for farming rare drops.”
- “In this game, you'll not get away with mashing 'attack' in every battle (unless you willingly overlevel your party through tedious grinding, of course).”
