The game's story is largely criticized for being non-existent, with players noting it consists mainly of repetitive missions focused on combat rather than a cohesive narrative. Reviewers describe the storytelling as basic and unmemorable, lacking any elements that evoke nostalgia or engagement. Overall, the story fails to captivate players, contributing to a general disinterest in the game.
“Well, that's just another cute little story with a lot of rooms to discover and enemies to kill.”
“No real story, just missions (aka kill them)”
“The story, combat, and upgrading systems are as basic as the graphics and voice acting; nothing memorable and nothing about the game stirs up any sort of nostalgia.”
“Hardly a success story; gamers just weren't all that interested in the game, although part of this could be explained by the game being fundamentally broken.”

The graphics of the game are criticized for being subpar, typical of RPG Maker titles, with issues such as poor fullscreen display and lack of full HD support or graphics customization options. This low-quality visual presentation detracts from the overall experience, leaving players unimpressed and feeling that it does not meet the standards expected by modern PC gamers.
“If the game did work, you would find that, as with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”

The gameplay is criticized for being subpar, with many reviewers noting that it suffers from low-quality mechanics typical of RPG Maker shovelware, alongside poorly executed retro pixel art that detracts from the overall experience.
“Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low-quality, copy-pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay.”
