The game lacks a significant narrative, focusing instead on continuous battles and strategic gameplay. While some players may miss a story element, the absence of a plot is seen as fitting for the game's design, which emphasizes tactical challenges and rogue-lite mechanics. Overall, the experience is more about gameplay than storytelling.
“This game doesn't have any story, just battles after battles.”
“But it fits this game really well - it's definitely not about the story.”
“This game is like an indie version of 'King's Bounty' minus story and budget, plus random map generation, rogue-lite elements, and auto battles.”
