The game's story is straightforward and reaches a satisfying conclusion early on, making it accessible for casual players, though some elements like item descriptions can be confusing. While the narrative primarily revolves around escaping a 50-floor dungeon, players familiar with the sequel may find value in the backstory provided. However, some reviewers wished for a longer main storyline beyond the initial dungeon.
“The endgame is pretty brutal, but the story reaches a satisfying conclusion way before that, so it's not mandatory for more casual play.”
“If you come from the sequel, you can play this for the story of what happened before the sequel.”
“I would have liked the main story to be longer than the first dungeon.”
“The game story is simple and understandable, but sometimes the item/skill descriptions or character requests are hard to grasp.”
“I would have liked the main story to be longer than just the first dungeon.”
“There is pretty much no plot apart from escaping the dungeon of 50 floors.”
