The story in the game is generally well-received, described as engaging and lighthearted, with a charming art style and music that enhance the experience.

However, some critiques mention that the story is still incomplete and can be confusing at times, leaving players eager for future updates and expansions.
- “Even the storyline, lore, and plot missions have all been really interesting and engaging, keeping me invested to see what happens... and for a game that is essentially a roguelite dungeon crawler, I feel like having a real story at all is pretty extra, let alone an actually good one.”

- “I particularly like how it changes the villages throughout the story.”

- “The only bits that feel 'incomplete' (early-access) are story-related and their continuation of the dungeon (which you won't see for the first 20-ish hours anyway).”

Overall, the game offers strong replayability due to its variety of builds, engaging combat, and the introduction of new bosses in later runs, which keeps the experience fresh.

However, like many roguelikes, it may eventually feel repetitive over time.
- “The smoothness of combat reminds me of Wizard of Legend (the first one). There's a large variety of builds, an interesting story that makes me feel like a character from an isekai manga, attractive pixel graphics, and even though the number of zones and enemies isn't huge, the way you can approach each run provides a crazy amount of replayability.”
- “Surprisingly complex builds and an extremely rewarding progression system makes this one of the more replayable roguelikes in recent memory, and that's saying a lot!”
- “Fun, replayable, and great diversity of gameplay.”

- “More variations/types of enemies for each stage as well as different bosses/mini-bosses would add to the replayability of the game as well.”

- “Combat feels very tedious as even the weakest enemies will need to be taken out with two combos.”
- “There is nothing satisfying about knowing the game is designed so that you can't feasibly win without grinding for 4 hours first.”
- “I like challenge, I enjoy the reward that comes with hard work, but in this game that means arbitrary amounts of grinding.”
