The game's story has been criticized for being rushed and depressing, with many characters meeting brutal ends and a plot that feels meaningless, leading players to feel detached from the narrative. While there are three distinct storylines, including a fantasy quest involving Princess Yuki, the overall execution leaves players feeling that their choices lack impact and that the game serves more as a promotional tool for another title. Despite these issues, some players still find enjoyment in the multiplayer experience.
“There are three dimensions/storylines you can play.”
“The fantasy setting tells a story of Princess Yuki framed as a traitor when separated from her loyal servants and seeking her own revenge.”
“+ three different story lines”
“Plot-wise, what a downer. It's a depressing game; the plot is rushed, most of it is meaningless, and don't get attached to any of the characters, as nearly all of them die brutally or worse.”
“Nothing you do matters plot-wise; you're just hitting the key moments to mechanically move the game along, not the plot.”
“I feel like half the plot was the developer talking up an entirely different game, as if to say, 'Hey, if you want to actually have fun, play my other game; this one's a decoy.'”

Gameplay is characterized by a lack of meaningful plot impact, focusing instead on mechanical progression through key moments. Players experience a diverse range of eras and environments, leading to varied gameplay styles that encourage exploration and experimentation, though this can result in a sense of guesswork and frequent deaths. Overall, the RPG mechanics remain smooth and entertaining despite the disjointed nature of the gameplay experience.
“Mechanics: all over the place, different eras look and play differently, a lot of guesswork and exploring, and dying.”
