The story in the game is appreciated for its charm and the love for video games evident through numerous easter eggs and references, though some players feel it lacks cohesion and depth, particularly in the early stages. While the narrative is engaging and features an endearing cast, there are criticisms regarding excessive exposition and a reliance on niche references that may alienate some players. Overall, the integration of combat mechanics with the plot is seen as a refreshing aspect, but questions remain about the story's linearity and the impact of player choices.
- “Loved how the story was told even though I have many gaps missing in it, and you really feel the love for video games with all the easter eggs and references in the game!”
- “An incredible work of art, labor, and love from a solo developer, Princess Pomu at5m is a solid evolution of classic beat-em-ups and follows an endearing cast of characters on a journey spanning multiple planets on a quest to stop [expunged]!”
- “Along the way, Pomu gains abilities that enhance her lethality in whatever playstyle you use, and it's refreshing to see the combat mechanics interwoven with the plot so well.”
- “In Pomu's case, its macro-scale level design is just sort of... alright, and there's barely any story before the final stretch of the game.”
- “Way, waaaay too many words in your intros where a simple 30-second cutscene would fill in the story.”
- “Time will tell how worthy it is... and if it's only a linear story, or if actions matter.”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews; while some players praise the stunning pixel art and colorful, cute design, others criticize the unpolished visuals and lack of functional map markers. Overall, the artwork is noted as impressive, especially considering it was created by a one-man team, contributing to the game's charm and appeal.
- “An amazing metroidvania game with stunning pixel graphics, a fantastic soundtrack, and incredible gameplay.”
- “The graphics are colorful and cute, very impressive to see this made from a one-man team; Dominus deserves much praise for this cute but violent sidescrolling experience!”
- “Very cute art style, story, and game!”
- “Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this because the graphics are just too unpolished and the map desperately needs a way to add markers since, unlike SOTN, the design of the map makes it impossible to know if you might want to return to a place in the future.”
humor

The humor in the game is highlighted by its playful nods to the "doom" genre, particularly through the exaggerated portrayal of characters, such as Pomu wielding dual pistols with a tough demeanor, which adds a comedic contrast to the game's challenging difficulty.
- “It's just funny because you can feel the doom influence, and the difficulty select portrait for the hardest difficulty depicts Pomu with two pistols and a badass scowl, making you wish you could run and gun for longer than 5 seconds at a time.”
