The game's story is criticized for being minimal and often nonsensical, with players feeling that it lacks depth and coherence. Some users express frustration over the quest system, which requires completing tasks in a specific order that can feel arbitrary and disrupt gameplay. However, others appreciate the hidden narrative elements that can be interpreted through achievements and interactions, suggesting a potential for deeper engagement based on individual play styles.
“Epic story.”

“Like playing 'Subway Surf' for the story.”
“You can't accept all quests at once and have to do them in a particular order which doesn't make sense. For example, I killed an elite mob in the Twilight Forest before I killed 6 animals and 6 monsters, so the daily quest doesn't get completed for no good reason.”
