The story revolves around the theme of appreciating what you have, but players feel frustrated by the short lifespan of their nanomon, which undermines the effort put into acquiring them. The gameplay involves exploring the nanoscape, completing missions, and managing the care of nanomon, but the repetitive nature of the levels and the quick demise of pets detracts from the overall narrative experience. Players express a desire for longer lifespans or mechanics to enhance the longevity of their nanomon.
- “I think there might even be a secret here and there, and I got a quest today. My brain only forgot if that’s for today or weekly based—I’ll find out when I jump back in soonish.”
- “Firstly, I hate how 80% of the game is taking care of the same 2 levels of nanomon and then a 3rd level that's a reskin of the same base. When you finally get the nanomon you wanted, it basically dies immediately. All that work to get the one I wanted just for it to die in the span of a day of playtime. I get that the background story of the game is to appreciate what you have until it's gone, but this is way too quick and just turns me off from the game. It would be nice to have their lifespan be longer, or maybe have something in the endgame area to make a nanomon immortal but with some downside.”
- “You have to engage in battles by exploring the nanoscape in order to complete the daily missions or simply to acquire the food and drink items that keep your pet alive.”
- “You feed your pet, monitor its stats and attributes, and take it on a quest mode to find items, play minigames, and interact and battle with other nanomon.”
