The game's story revolves around Misty, a blacksmith on a quest to reverse a curse while exploring dungeons and crafting weapons for her guild. While the narrative is described as fairly standard and simple, it incorporates elements of futanari content that may not appeal to all players. Overall, the story serves as a backdrop for gameplay, with some players noting issues with quest completion and a lack of depth in the sexual content.
“Fairly standard RPG game with a simple story and simple combat, giving you the option to play automatically and evade enemies. It also offers a difficulty selector for those who just want to see the story.”
“The story of the game is about how Misty will explore the different dungeons, obtaining materials, creating weapons and armor for the guild, while at the same time searching for the person who cursed her in order to reverse the curse.”
“Having Misty as the main character and her being a blacksmith, most of the game will be spent forging weapons and armor to complete the guild's orders. These orders are divided into five rarities which will be unlocked as we advance in the story and level up our characters.”
“Fairly standard RPG game with a simple story and simple combat, giving you the option to play automatically and evade enemies. The story may not be to everyone's liking due to its simplistic nature.”

“The music is good.”
“The background music is quite generic and gets tiring very quickly.”
“Once it fades out at the end or the outro is played, the music repeats itself back to the start.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game challenging at first, but it becomes rewarding as they accumulate resources, particularly gold, to enhance their abilities. However, achieving 100% completion is noted to be very grindy, requiring significant time investment.
“It is pretty tough in the beginning, but after grinding enough gold, you can make every enemy cry with the might of Misty.”
“Very grindy if you intend to 100% clear.”

The gameplay features classic RPG mechanics, with special event scenes involving characters and boss defeats that incorporate static sexual imagery and sound effects. While the number of CG scenes is limited, the use of close-ups and camera movements enhances the overall quality and immersion of these moments.
“Classic RPG mechanics.”
“The gameplay includes special event scenes with characters and unique boss defeat scenarios, enhancing the overall experience with dynamic close-ups and camera movements.”
“The gameplay lacks depth and feels repetitive, relying too heavily on classic RPG mechanics.”
“The game does not integrate its content well into the gameplay, treating special event scenes with characters as mere extras rather than meaningful gameplay elements.”
“The sexual scenes are limited to static images with minimal animation, which detracts from the overall gameplay experience.”
