The story of the game has been criticized for being convoluted, one-dimensional, and nonsensical, with some reviewers noting a disturbing focus on underage characters. While there are elements of depth in the battle system and a unique approach to monster encounters, the overall narrative fails to engage players, making it feel niche and targeted at a specific audience. Voice acting and character development also received negative feedback, contributing to a lackluster storytelling experience.
- “A story that isn’t cliché, a battle system with more depth than the typical 'each party lines up on opposite sides and waits for everyone’s turn,' and a way to encounter monsters without killing them.”
- “Atypical story, battle system does contain depth, lots of NPC characters to join you.”
- “The story is asinine and makes no sense, the voice acting is awful, and the game has a creepy and inexcusable fixation with what look like underage (and borderline nude) anime girls.”
- “Instead, the story, one-dimensional characters, and lolita factor make Mugen Souls Z a niche RPG aimed at a very specific audience.”
- “As such, it leaves the storyline convoluted, messy, and boring to sit through.”
