The story of "Record of Agarest War Marriage" is characterized by a generational narrative that allows players to experience the lineage of characters, but it is often criticized for being simplistic and underwhelming, with a paper-thin plot and bland characters.

- “The story is really good and the characters are very memorable.”
- “And we as players get to experience this underwhelming story of love and lust in a game that loses all of its gameplay splendor and narrative beats from the very start.”
