The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and complex, while others criticize it for being poorly written and overly linear. Many appreciate the character interactions and the depth of the narrative, but feel that the pacing is slow and that the story often interrupts the core gameplay of blacksmithing. Overall, while the crafting mechanics are praised, the story's execution leaves much to be desired, with calls for improvements and more meaningful player choices.
- “The story is surprisingly good, and the blacksmithing feels realistic and really enjoyable.”
- “You can choose to just make weapons and sell them or play out the story, and wow, I was not expecting such a complex, interactive story from this.”
- “The story line of the game is incredibly interesting and the choices you get in the game are actually difficult and thought-provoking.”
- “The writing is dull and juvenile, which isn't a problem until the game insists on dragging you out of the shop over and over for the 'story.' I tapped out when I had no choice but to agree that I was 'the chosen one' of the god of tools and the big quest was revealed to be raising an army of zealots to drive out a population of war refugees.”
- “The story pacing is too slow.”
- “The story railroads you to work with terrible people no matter your choices, and if you decide to use the option that most people would pick (not give them service), you die without a chance to change your mind as well as losing any progress before saving.”
