The game's story is characterized by a mix of quirky writing and numerous quests, but many players find it lacking depth and meaningful progression. While the narrative offers interesting characters and varied storylines, it is often marred by bugs, repetitive dialogue, and a lack of clear prompts for quest completion. Overall, the experience can be entertaining, but it suffers from inconsistencies and a sense of randomness that detracts from a cohesive storytelling experience.
- “The story was interesting for a casual mobile game and the swiping mechanic fun.”
- “It's thorough, detailed and makes you really immerse yourself in the story.”
- “The many different story combinations that you can go through are excellent!”
- “Not only that, characters the story kills keep popping up nonsensically to affect your barely explained stats and get you killed by accident.”
- “The story seems fine at first, but it is completely bugged, and missions are down to lucky choices and guesswork, with the game left unmaintained. There are some annoying 'opponents' that end up being executed by you plenty of times, just to end up fighting you again, and others that die of old age but still start to fight you for the same reasons as before their death.”
- “This feels just too random and there's not a story to follow.”
