The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some praising its engaging narrative and bold incorporation of real-world themes, while others criticize it for being generic and lacking depth. Players appreciate the emotional themes of family and loyalty, alongside well-developed characters, but some find the plot convoluted and reliant on random quests that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the storytelling is seen as a highlight for some, but a disappointment for others, depending on individual expectations and preferences.
“The story is amazing, and I think the implementation of real-world dictators was a bold and interesting step.”
“A serious story about family and loyalty, with many main characters with individual stories to be explored.”
“It's all presented in the classic RPG style, complete with nostalgic gameplay, excellent artwork, labyrinthine mazes to navigate, great music that adds to the atmosphere and charm, characters that are easy to like, and, most importantly, a solid story that will keep you interested and wanting to do 'just one more thing' ---- very addictive.”
“The environments feel generic and pretty much identical, except with different tile sets. The dungeons feel like they've been made by a random generator, and the story and characters were bland, with the former also being pointless because Amelia's mother wasn't even in the continent.”
“The story is literally just doing random quests to know the prison's location, and then one of the quest givers becomes a villain at the end because he wanted them to die while doing the quests.”
“Straight up copy and paste of Last Heroes 2 with a pointless story.”
