The story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it humorous and enjoyable, while others criticize it for being weak and lacking depth. Many feel that it fails to build on the previous installment, "Boo Bunny Plague," and suggest that the narrative could benefit from more engaging elements like puzzles or quests. Overall, while the characters are lovable and the soundtrack is praised, the story itself is seen as a missed opportunity for greater development.
“This is a fun and fast smash and loot style game with a rockin' soundtrack, but it still has a story.”
“You'll know the story and you'll get to love the characters, and you'll see the huge growth from this indie company.”
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“The story doesn't really have anything to it; it just rides along until it ends.”
“The story does not continue from Boo Bunny Plague very well, and the dungeons are not fun.”
“If there were puzzles or quests or something to fill the excuse for the long levels besides just getting from A to B with hordes of cannon fodder.”

“The original Boo Bunny Plague game is a nice game with some decent comedy and alright gameplay for what it is.”
“The gameplay is tedious and combat feels like a waste of time.”
“The controls are a clunky nightmare matched with very boring gameplay.”
“Rock and rogue takes itself less seriously, the writers have less confidence in the jokes (i.e. they point out/explain most of them), and they made the gameplay (which consisted of hitting things a lot) even more repetitive.”

“So to start and to get the ugly out of the way, this is a spinoff/sequel to the last game, 'Boo Bunny Plague,' which was a buggy, so-so, third-person hack and slash game.”
“In my short time with it so far, it has been a little buggy and sometimes things don't trigger like they should (I had a cutscene audio start up but I was still stuck in gameplay), so I won't say it doesn't have flaws.”
