The game's story has been widely criticized for being uninspiring, generic, and filled with clichés, often described as dull and forgettable. While some players found moments of humor and a few engaging characters, the overall narrative fails to captivate, leading to a grindy experience that detracts from the gameplay. Despite a few redeeming qualities, many reviewers recommend looking elsewhere for a more compelling story.
“The story is really well done, full of turns that you would not expect at all.”
“It's a nice storyline with a massive world and cool characters, but I do not recommend this to beginner RPG players because some bosses are really hard; but when you know how to defeat them, it is easy.”
“The story is extremely uninspiring and brings absolutely nothing new to the table.”
“Not only is the overarching story itself uninspiring, but the dialogue is close to unbearable.”
“The storyline is serviceable, and the few instances of personality in the cast are welcome.”

Overall, players find the game excessively grindy, often requiring significant time investment to gather materials and level up for boss encounters. While some reviews note that grinding is not strictly necessary if players focus on main battles, many still feel that the repetitive nature of combat and lack of quality-of-life features, like auto-battle or fast-forward options, contribute to a tedious experience. The balance of difficulty and enemy scaling further exacerbates the grind, making it a common point of frustration among users.
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
“The grind is satisfying and offers a real sense of progression.”
“Gameplay is super grindy, story is hilariously bad; it's free, but at what cost?”
“There is nothing to recommend here to PC users; this is another grinding fest tablet game lost on the PC market.”
“The game is very, very grindy insofar as you will be repeating more or less similar strategies dozens of times, given that even generic enemies are tough enough that essentially all fights will take 4+ rounds to resolve, even those you're sure you'll win from the start.”
