  • story25 mentions

    The game's story is largely absent, with players noting a lack of narrative depth and character development. Missions feel random and disconnected, offering minimal context or engagement, which detracts from the overall experience. While some enjoy the gameplay mechanics, those seeking a rich storyline will likely be disappointed.

    • “Obviously you can't expect it to be some huge in-depth title, but the side missions take some real thought to beat, and learning a few strategies for beating the dungeons adds to it.”
    • “Overall for the price, I'd fully recommend the game if you're looking for something to play while doing something else, but if you're looking for a storyline or something to fulfill you, then I wouldn't.”
    • “Download size about 89MB, you play a hero with an unknown story, fighting unknown enemies from unknown races.”
    • “No dialogue, no storyline, just tosses you in to figure it out.”
    • “There is practically no storyline, so don't expect one.”
    • “There is no story.”

  • gameplay12 mentions

    • “The mechanics are fun, but it’s a tiresome game if you have little to no patience.”
    • “All game is built on simple mechanics, but it works perfectly.”
    • “All gameplay can be described in just a few sentences - you choose your team, when you play the main quest, or you play with a team that was given to you in a side quest.”
    • “Basically your ability to win relies on RNG, which is just time-consuming and makes for very boring, repetitive gameplay until you actually find yourself winning.”
    • “It doesn't translate well on a computer at all because gameplay consists of switching spots occasionally with your three characters and waiting for them to ever so slowly kill the thing in their way (it's so bad that even the 3x speed battles take minutes), only to do the same thing again.”
    • “There is minimal interaction and little to no planning involved for gameplay.”

    • “The music is boring and repetitive, and I kind of want to strangle whoever made that design choice.”
