The story is generally viewed as lacking depth and originality, often described as a typical JRPG plot involving heroes saving the world, with repetitive quests and minimal character development. While some players appreciate the concept of exploring different narratives through various party members and find the job class system intriguing, many criticize the overall execution as boring and linear. Despite these criticisms, a few players enjoyed the story and its format, noting that it can be engaging, albeit short.
- “Love this game story and format.”
- “I love the story, the idea, the quests and battles.”
- “An engaging story!”
- “Story is... not so in depth.”
- “It's instead a snoozefest with the awful quests and boring dungeons.”
- “Only real problem is there wasn't much to the characters or story.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized, with players finding the in-app purchases excessive and often necessary to progress, particularly due to the high difficulty of early enemies and expensive equipment. Many reviewers express frustration over the perceived greed of charging for the game upfront and then implementing additional costs, leading to a negative impact on the overall experience.
- “I just beat the game in 9 hours and overall it was good, but the story could be longer and the in-app purchases are frustrating. Besides that, it's a fun game.”
- “Gotta love the propensity for in-app purchases that developers seem addicted to.”
- “The additional monetization after you buy the game is just atrocious.”
- “Normally, in-app purchases are unnecessary to beat a game, but in this one you may be hard-pressed to make use of them because most enemies will give you a really hard time from the start, plus most of the equipment in stores, even the weaker ones, are expensive for about the first half of the game.”
- “Have got to be kidding me, $3.00 for the game then in-game purchases? That is just greedy. It's a solid game, but if I had seen that in the first 15 minutes, I would have requested a refund!”
