The story is praised for its inspirational moral about perseverance and personal growth, but some reviewers feel it lacks depth and individuality, particularly in its side quests. While the narrative connects across the series, it is more focused on action and gameplay than on delivering an epic tale, making it suitable for players seeking straightforward adventures rather than a complex storyline. Overall, it concludes neatly, but prior knowledge of the earlier games is essential for full understanding.
“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.”
“What a brilliant series and loved the story!”
“It wraps up the story quite neatly.”
“I just don't feel like there was an effort made to individualize each story.”
“If you haven't played the others, start there or the story will make zero sense.”
“No side quests in this one.”

The music in the game is generally repetitive, with similar tracks across different areas, leading to a sense of monotony. However, the dungeon music stands out positively, providing an enjoyable experience that can be listened to for extended periods without becoming grating.
“All the music is exactly the same in each game; the towns feel the same.”
“On the plus side, I did like the dungeon music, so listening to it for multiple hours in a row didn't make me want to beat my head against a wall.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”

The gameplay is criticized for being imbalanced and lacking depth, with many reviewers likening it to low-quality RPG Maker titles characterized by poor graphics and repetitive mechanics. Overall, it fails to innovate or improve upon previous installments, leading to a disappointing experience.
“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.”
“Gameplay is the same as the other installments.”

The graphics in this RPG Maker game are criticized for their low quality, particularly in fullscreen mode, and the lack of full HD support or graphics customization options makes it unsuitable for modern PC gamers.
“As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”
