The game's story attempts to add complexity but ultimately fails to engage players, with many describing it as poorly written and lacking depth. While some appreciate the inclusion of a narrative in a puzzle-focused game, the overall consensus is that the story detracts from the experience rather than enhancing it. Players express disappointment in the simplistic and uninspired plot, which offers little in terms of role-playing choices or character development.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“Really chill and fun story game with some nice puzzles!”
“In quests where heroes find their home.”
“The story itself tries to bring a bit more complexity compared to its beginning; however, it still fails to excite.”
“The story is there, but it’s so bad it’s almost worse than if it wasn’t there!”
“The developers are not native English speakers, but this appears to have been written by people who have never actually engaged with any form of storytelling, or it’s an elaborate joke.”

The gameplay across various titles in the series has seen significant shifts, notably in "The Legend of Zelda," where the transition from a top-down perspective to a blend of RPG and platform elements marked a departure from traditional mechanics. However, many users express dissatisfaction with the gameplay, citing issues such as lack of refinement, excessive backtracking, and unengaging mechanics, particularly in RPG Maker titles. Overall, while some games boast impressive graphics and features, they often fall short in delivering a compelling gameplay experience.
“One that comes to mind easily is 'The Legend of Zelda,' where in the first title, you control your character from a top-down perspective, but in the second one, it undergoes a transformation that could be considered a blend, combining some RPG elements with platform gameplay.”
“Best game, perfect graphics, 2 hours, awesome gameplay.”
“Regarding gameplay, while in the previous title, your actions are completely limited to character movement, this second episode was designed with RPG Maker.”
“The previous one had fine gameplay; RPG Maker is not the best for what the game is going for.”
“That is bothersome, because there’s a lot of backtracking to be done in this game - as in all RPG Maker games, and most JRPGs, too - so the constant assaults performed by the enemies really cut up the gameplay, if it can even be called that…”
“As for the gameplay, it feels lackluster and is not refined.”

The graphics of the game are generally described as typical for RPG Maker, lacking in innovation and not particularly impressive, though some users find them acceptable for gameplay. While a few praise the art style as beautiful, many agree that the visuals do not elevate the overall experience, which is hindered by a lack of depth in gameplay mechanics.
“The art style and gameplay are entirely different, making for an odd inclusion in the series.”
“Graphics are beautiful, but an RPG has to be rich in stats to play around with and a bit of combat variety.”
“Best game, perfect graphics, 2 hours of awesome gameplay.”
“As for the sound effects, soundtrack, and graphics, well, we're talking about a composition of the basic elements of RPG Maker, so there's not much to be surprised about.”
“Don't expect much from the graphics.”
“Graphics are typical RPG Maker; you have seen that a million times before.”

Overall, the soundtrack is seen as basic and lacking in variety, failing to enhance the gaming experience significantly.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“The only neat thing about it is the battle music - which starts off nicely - and the font in the menus.”
“As for the sound effects, soundtrack, and graphics, well, we're talking about a composition of the basic elements of RPG Maker, so there's not much to be surprised about.”
“The music is also much more limited; the first one had better music.”
“The music is comprised of an overworld theme and a battle theme which both get annoying and monotonous very quickly, and they don't suit the game very well.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and excessive, particularly during repetitive encounters with guards that limit player options and extend combat unnecessarily. While it may appeal to those focused on achievement farming, the overall experience can become monotonous quickly.
“Whenever you encounter a guard and get too close, a small fight ensues where you can't use the escape function or weapons or armor menu, even though it is displayed. You just fight him for 2-3 hits until he dies, which grows tedious fast.”
“This game is clearly for farming 100% completion and achievements, but it is absolutely excessive.”
