Reindeer Story is a charming and entertaining RPG with a strong Christmas theme, featuring a delightful story filled with puns and humor.
The battle system is engaging, combining elements from Mario RPGs and Undertale, with unique mechanics that keep combat fresh and interesting.
The game offers significant replay value with multiple endings, side quests, and collectibles, making it a great addition to holiday traditions.

There are occasional bugs and jankiness in the gameplay, particularly with audio transitions and dialogue overlaps.
Some players may find the combat system dull if they are not fans of turn-based mechanics, which could limit its appeal.

- “After playing it for 40 hours and getting every ending, I can totally recommend this game to any RPG lover (the game has 9 endings, so if you feel like the game is kinda short, it offers a lot of replay value and interesting differences to find on every major branch in the story).”

The music in the game is widely praised for its pleasant and comprehensive soundtrack, which enhances the holiday theme and overall experience.

- “The music is a big strong point for me on Reindeer Story; a very good job on that one for sure... maybe adding a music player bonus unlockable to listen to the tunes after you finish the game or even better adding the soundtrack as DLC to be purchased would be a nice extra on top of a great game.”
- “The battle soundtrack changes based on the situation (are you attacking or defending) and the tunes are generally pretty good.”
