The story aspect of the game is generally praised for its engaging quests and captivating narrative, but many players express frustration over the paywall that restricts access to significant portions of the storyline unless they subscribe as "star riders." Users also report numerous glitches that hinder quest progression, making it difficult to enjoy the full experience. Overall, while the storyline is appreciated, the limitations imposed by the subscription model and technical issues detract from the enjoyment for many players.
