The story is basic and resembles an early RPG style, with some enjoyable side quests but limited character development and personality. While the main storyline is decent and presents an interesting concept, players felt a more structured narrative or tools like a quest tab would enhance the experience. The variety of classes somewhat compensates for the simplicity of the story.
- “Some nice side quests (I would have enjoyed a quest tab in the menu though).”
- “The game tells its story.”
- “Storyline thus far is great - neat concept.”
- “Not much of a story; the characters of the party have no personality, but the number of classes available in the game make up for that in a way.”
- “I think it would have been easier with a story to follow.”
- “On the story, like I said, this is an early RPG-style story.”

The graphics feature a diverse range of enemy types that users appreciate, but there are notable inconsistencies in style and scale that make the visuals feel disjointed and lacking a cohesive identity.

- “I purchased this because I'm a big fan of the resources used - but I'm a little disappointed in the glaring graphical inconsistencies.”
- “Glaring graphical inconsistencies (1px characters, 3px tiles and vector-based enemies) - it just looks really thrown together because of this - and doesn't build its own brand.”
