The story is described as simplistic and lacking depth, primarily revolving around the quest to cleanse evil from the mines. While the main narrative is balanced, it fails to engage players, leading to a disinterest in deeper gameplay mechanics.
- “The main story is pretty balanced, and each new boss will likely require you to improve your gear more and more, finding different means to improve more efficiently.”
- “The combat is very simple and presumably starts to incorporate the deluge of numbers the game throws at you at some point, but there's just not much of anything going on with the story that I'm interested in, so I don't really want to min-max my party no matter how great their eyepatch mohawk fursona vibes are.”

Gameplay is hindered by a lack of explanation for critical mechanics and restrictive save points, leading to potential frustration from lost progress. Players express a desire for more diverse abilities and class options, though it seems the game is designed for a simpler, shorter experience.
- “Only suggestion-type feedback would be that I kind of wish there were more abilities/spells for the classes, or more classes that required previous classes to be leveled (like in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark), but I get the feeling the game isn't meant to be that long or support gameplay that complex.”
- “Critical game mechanics are left unexplained.”
- “The game only lets you save at inns, so I lost like 10 minutes of gameplay.”
- “I kind of wish there were more abilities/spells for the classes, or more classes that required previous classes to be leveled, but I get the feeling the game isn't meant to be that long or support gameplay that complex.”
