The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with repetitive missions and minimal character development leading to a quickly diminishing interest. Players express a desire for more engaging multi-part quests and improved dialogue to enhance the narrative experience. Additionally, some quests are reported as uncompletable, further detracting from the overall story engagement.
“Some multi-part quests would be cool, or at least better dialogue and more characters to make the story less obvious.”
“However, after that the game becomes old very quickly, since there are only a handful of kinds of missions, the profits from trading become very negligible, and the battles are also relatively repetitive. The system itself is okay, but you have to do it again and again uncountable times, especially in the late game where you have almost nothing else to do.”
“Some of the quests won't complete.”
“The match-3 mini-game is really poor, yet it seems to be the only interesting thing to do. It does not stand up at all in comparison with other games of the genre, such as Puzzle Quest and Bejeweled, which you can get for approximately the same price or less.”
