The story aspect of the game is criticized for its slow pacing, which discourages players from completing the story mode to unlock additional content. While there are references to external lore, such as Arcane Mini's D&D setting, the main narrative fails to engage players sufficiently, leading to frustration over locked modes.
- “With the painfully slow pace of the game, I just can't bring myself to finish the story mode and unlock the other two modes. If those end up being surprisingly great, they shouldn't be locked behind the story.”
- “Don't be alarmed by the Facebook-like quests at the beginning.”
- “If you're looking for more lore or backstory, there is a company called Arcane Mini's that has a D&D 5E fantasy airship setting.”
