The story of the game has received largely negative feedback, with many reviewers describing it as bland, predictable, and uninspired, often criticizing the characters and dialogue as forgettable or poorly written. While some players found the premise engaging and appreciated the lighthearted tone, the overall consensus is that the narrative lacks depth and fails to captivate, making it a weak point in an otherwise interesting gameplay experience.
“Otto is then sent on a quest to return Anna to her former self, as well as foil Zahr's plan... Otto's got quite the special gift, the gift of shaping.”
“It has an extremely engaging story; Otto feels very Olimar-like in that he's a 'normal guy', and says probably the hardest line I've ever seen in a video game, 'Anna is my world, Zahr can rule the rest of it.'”
“It's just charming and enjoyable; the story is not very deep, quite lighthearted, but the characters are likeable.”
“The story is completely forgettable with the gist being, collect the x pieces of something to save the world and defeat the bad guy.”
“It seriously is insufferable how bad the story is... and the gameplay itself is basic.”
“Sadly the story is mediocre at best.”
Masters of Anima Review
There was potential here, but Masters of Anima is ultimately a bit of a letdown.
50%Masters of Anima Review
From the outset, Masters Of Anima, tries its utmost to engage with a different world that’s ruled by a unique magic, bare-bones lore and a bunch of awkwardly portrayed and forgettable characters. The floundering voice acting and clunky script, coupled with a cringe-worthy story that’s more embarrassing than your drunk uncle dancing at a wedding, grates quickly. The title certainly won’t hold your hand when it comes to defeating the only enemy in the game, which could prove to be tedious for some. Masters Of Anima is no Pikmin, but if you’re looking for a fantasy land filled with tough enemy encounters and a game that's relatively straightforward, then this one is for you.
