The story aspect of the game has been criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with players noting numerous grammatical errors and misspellings in the narrative. Many feel that the quests are simplistic and unengaging, leading to a sense of emptiness after completing them, while the overall plot is deemed uninspired and poorly executed. Additionally, the reliance on outdated graphics and mechanics further detracts from the storytelling experience.
“Quest event is an RPG Maker 'game' with no original assets and a funny story to go along with it.”
“So I check the forums to find someone had already broken down the back story of this 'game'.”
“Cool story, so you're charging for something that is dead.”
“Oh, and although I don't pay much attention to the storyboards, the misspellings and grammatical errors are prolific enough I noticed.”
“Two simple quests and then nothing to do except cut down trees and fish.”
“Adding an additional zone and implementing skills that seem to have no point (woodcutting, firemaking?) then using them as a means to start a new quest makes no sense.”

The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while players can grind skills to level 99, many feel it is ultimately pointless as it offers no tangible benefits. However, fans of old-school RPGs who enjoy grinding may still find some enjoyment in the mechanics. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as lacking in meaningful rewards.
“You can grind some skills, but you don't gain anything from it in any way, so it's useless grinding.”
“I downloaded RPG Maker 1 month ago (first RPG Maker) just for fun, and already made a better and longer game than this, except the grinding thing.”
“Of course, the music is really nicely done and catchy, the few characters look quite nice as well, and nobody is stopping you from grinding all your skills (four in total) to the highest level (apparently level 99).”

The music in the game is widely praised for being catchy, well-composed, and fitting the old-school RPG vibe, making it enjoyable enough for those who appreciate game soundtracks. However, while the music enhances the experience, it may not be sufficient to engage dedicated RPG players looking for deeper gameplay. Overall, it stands out as a highlight of the game.
“The music is really nicely done and catchy, the old school RPG feel is spot on.”
“The music is great, the old school RPG feel is spot on, and the skills available have been fun to use.”
“Very nice, catchy, and appropriate music.”

The graphics are reminiscent of the 8-bit era, which some players find acceptable; however, the lack of a compelling story diminishes their overall appeal.
“Graphics are 8-bit era, which would be okay if there was a good story - which there isn't.”
