The game's story is described as typical and somewhat blend, with some players finding it engaging enough to not skip, while others express frustration over fetch quests and a lack of endgame content. Despite mixed feelings about the narrative depth, many appreciate the nostalgic RPG elements, intricate boss fights, and the overall fun of the game loop. Overall, the story garners a range of reactions, from enjoyment to disappointment, but it remains a notable aspect of the experience.
- “Its an old style RPG with great visuals and story!”
- “And loving the story so far.”
- “A great combination of tough boss fights, clever puzzles, fun classes and gamestyle options combined in an intriguing story.”
- “The game loop's overall fun is diminished by the fetch/non-combat related questing you have to do between each tier of dungeons. I'm bummed to know that there's no endgame, as I don't want to play through the story missions again on another character. They're not particularly lengthy or puzzling, just annoying. The game will basically end once I complete the last boss, so I haven't even bothered to finish it and just started playing other things instead.”
- “The story is typical and bland.”
- “It's lucky there is a skip function, but it's not available for all main quests sadly.”
