The game's story, while simple and somewhat dull, features a moral about perseverance and includes elements reminiscent of a Robin Hood narrative with an anti-war theme. Players appreciate the character's motivations and the lore, though the linearity and lack of memorable moments may detract from the overall experience. Despite some engaging plot points, the story does not elevate the gameplay significantly, making it more of a case study in RPG Maker than a standout title.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “It seems like a Robin Hood story in a fantasy setting with an anti-war message.”
- “Anyway, the simple story and sterile gameplay really don't warrant the need for anyone to play this game.”
- “There are a series of small challenges with a return to a hub periodically to get some of the lore and story which seemed decently told but nothing really memorable or special.”
- “There is also a minimal but decent story about the character trying to sabotage war preparations; it does the job providing some context on the missions and the character's motivations.”
