The game's story is minimal, allowing players to enjoy the gameplay without needing extensive narrative understanding, making it accessible even without English options. Fans of parry-based games like Sekiro will likely appreciate the experience regardless of the story's depth.
“If you like parry games like Sekiro, then this one would be highly recommended. You should be able to play this game happily even without an English option, as it doesn't have much storytelling either.”
