The story aspect of "Redemption: Eternal Quest" is criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with procedurally generated quests that often feel random and disconnected. Players express disappointment in the absence of a compelling overarching narrative or character development, as quests are typically short and lack meaningful context or progression. While some players find enjoyment in the game's management mechanics and the potential for imaginative storytelling, many feel that the game ultimately falls short in delivering a rich and engaging narrative experience.
“There actually was a semblance of a story unfolding, as well as other events such as internal strife within my team of adventurers that I could not quell, so I recant to a minor degree my complaint of it lacking RPG elements proclaimed in the game’s description.”
“Redemption: Eternal Quest is an adventurer management sim less about the adventures and more about the characters you send on those adventures.”
“The music adds to this storytelling atmosphere.”
“The plot is procedurally generated, and usually does not add up.”
“There is no sense of connection between the different quests; not in terms of context as there is no description, nor results as it all feels very random.”
“Your adventures pretty much just do their thing; there's no real goal or overarching plot, and most of the stuff that happens is arbitrary.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players expressing disappointment over the lack of RPG elements and overall depth, describing it as negligible and unengaging. While unique mechanics like dungeon crawling and card-based battles are noted, many feel that the game fails to deliver meaningful interactions or a compelling narrative, leading to frustration and requests for refunds.
“The dungeon crawl and minion mechanics are very unique.”
“Either you just get a story reported back, you enter a card game driven battle (simple mechanics of pick 1<3 support cards to play), you get to choose a path to take, whether to open a chest or not, and in some cases this game turns into the TV show 'Strike It Lucky' - choose 'top, middle or bottom' across 3 columns, and try to avoid the 'hot spot' aka trap.”
“I bought this game based on its self-description: 'a casual RPG/sim game which combines the feel of an RPG with roster management sim mechanics.' Thus far, it is exactly what I was looking for.”
“Somehow, even if I could get the thing running, if they didn't get the UI programming within 10 hours of usable, I rather doubt that any of the claims about the gameplay are accurate either.”
“I bought this game based on its self-description: 'a casual RPG/sim game which combines the feel of an RPG with roster management sim mechanics.' Thus far, it is exactly what I was looking for, but whatever RPG elements are purportedly within the game, I cannot find them.”
“And then you get to the actual gameplay and there's nothing there at all.”
