The story is criticized for its simplicity and lack of depth, with players expressing a desire for more interaction with the monster girls beyond training. Many feel that the narrative is minimal, relying heavily on card art for context, resulting in a disappointing experience. Overall, the story aspect has received low ratings, averaging around 1/5.
“The story is as simple as it can get, aside from the card art details you can somewhat piece together.”

Players appreciate that the game's roguelike structure minimizes traditional grinding and farming, focusing instead on strategic gameplay that emphasizes quick acquisition of stats and power-ups. This approach appeals to those who found the grinding in other games, like Monster Rancher, tedious. Overall, the game offers a refreshing alternative for players seeking a less grind-heavy experience.
“The fact it's a roguelike means you aren't grinding and farming the way you would in other games. Instead of fusion and train spamming monsters, you're trying to get stats and power-ups as soon as possible, and that's actually more strategic.”
“So TL;DR: if you think something like Monster Rancher might make a good roguelike, or you didn't like the emphasis on grinding in Monster Rancher, there's a fair chance you'll like this game.”
“The fact it's a roguelike means you aren't grinding and farming the way you would in MR2, fusion, and train spamming monsters; you're trying to get stats and power-ups ASAP, and that's actually more strategic.”
