The story aspect of the game is widely criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, offering players a vague premise without any meaningful motivations, backstory, or world-building. Reviewers liken the experience to engaging in battles within a narrative-less void, resulting in a disjointed and uninspiring quest. Overall, the absence of a compelling plot leaves players feeling uninvested and disconnected from the game's universe.
“In the mystical realm of relic keepers, where valor and magic converge in a cosmic clash, you eagerly embark on a quest that promises epic proportions.”
“No motivations, no backstory, just a vague notion that they must safeguard the relic.”
“There's no guiding narrative thread, no captivating quests to embark upon, and not a hint of world-building to speak of.”
“The plot is nonexistent, thrusting players into battle without purpose or backstory, like a book with blank pages.”

“The developers didn't credit any of the artists and real game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, prioritizing profit over player experience.”
“It's frustrating to see so many paywalls in a game that could have been enjoyable without the constant push to spend more money.”
