The story aspect of the game has been criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with players noting numerous grammatical errors and a disjointed narrative. Many feel that the quests are minimal and unengaging, leading to a sense of emptiness in the gameplay experience. Overall, the story fails to provide a compelling or original backdrop, leaving players dissatisfied.
“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.”
“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.”
“As those things don't add to the story progress in any way (yes, I played it again.), I won't change my review as such.”

Reviews indicate that while the game allows for skill grinding up to level 99, many players find it ultimately pointless as it offers no meaningful rewards. However, fans of old-school RPGs who enjoy grinding may still appreciate this aspect, despite its perceived lack of value.
“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 one month ago (my first RPG Maker) just for fun, and I've already made a better and longer game than this, except for the grinding aspect.”
“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 praised for being catchy, well-composed, and fitting the old-school RPG vibe, making it enjoyable even for those who might consider purchasing the soundtrack. While it enhances the overall experience, some players feel it may not be enough to engage avid RPG fans unless they are looking for a casual experience.
“The music is really nicely done and catchy, and the old school RPG feel is spot on.”
“Very nice, catchy, and appropriate music.”
“People who would buy a game soundtrack could enjoy the game just for that.”
