The story in the game is largely criticized for being generic and poorly executed, with many quests revolving around repetitive tasks like fetching items or defeating enemies. Players note that the translations are often laughably bad, detracting from the overall experience, and the narrative lacks depth or engagement. While there are numerous quests and some entertaining gameplay elements, the overarching story feels unnecessary and is not a primary draw for players.
“The storyline is quite interesting and the gameplay is fast-paced and easy.”
“The missions aren't just bland go here go there; they also have little 'mini games' to keep you interested, like driving a tank or being stationary and killing enemies on a turret.”
“Plenty of quests to keep you always doing something, plenty of loot, 4 classes with plenty of skills to acquire, and plenty of areas to explore.”
“The quests often involve running between NPCs to 'deliver' a message, and these NPCs will be standing an arm's length away from each other.”
“The English translations are awful (you'd think they'd bother finding a native English speaker to correct the grammar), and the story is kind of stupid, if it's there at all.”
“Story sucks to the core, but who would play this kind of game for the story anyway?”

“The gameplay is really good, but it needs some more optimization and some graphical updates; otherwise, it's a really solid game I recommend!”
“The gameplay feels pretty solid; it is enjoyable running around mowing down big groups of enemies and collecting oodles of loot.”
“Gameplay mechanic is fun, well balanced, and addicting, and no, it's not a pay-to-win game.”
“The gameplay is pretty bare bones and uninspiring, bordering on boring after an hour of play.”
“Enemies are your standard AI punching bags with no abilities or mechanics that you have to watch out for.”
“Terrible animation, terrible controls, terrible graphics, terrible story, and terrible gameplay.”
