The story aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with players encountering significant bugs that hinder their ability to progress and engage with the narrative. Many expressed frustration over being teleported to advanced story areas prematurely, leading to missed quests and essential items, which detracted from their overall experience. While the story concept and character interactions show potential, the current technical issues prevent players from fully experiencing the narrative, leaving them disappointed despite the game's appealing graphics and design.
- “It's disappointing, because the graphics and gameplay are actually decent, and the characters you do interact with and Athena herself are interesting, but I couldn't tell you how interesting the story is since I never got to actually experience it!”
- “Unusual story concept.”
- “Once this game is sturdier and has progressive gameplay, I feel the younger generation will enjoy the storyline that will be told.”
- “I was not able to talk to the first quest NPC until after I bugged out and went to the temple area, in which he finally spoke and did the quest thing -- only to complete the quest, be unable to talk to him again, and miss out on health potions.”
- “Don't be fooled by the screenshots; there is basically no content to be had on account of you can't even complete any of the gameplay elements to even get to what they claim is 5 story missions.”
- “With such a strong art direction and level design, the price is better seen as an investment into what the game is going to be once the teething problems with the combat and quest design are solved.”
