  • story22 mentions

    The game's story is often described as nonsensical and difficult to engage with initially, featuring random elements and a lack of clear quest navigation, which can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences. While some players appreciate the humor and references woven into the narrative, the overall coherence and structure of the story leave much to be desired, particularly with broken quests that hinder progression. Despite these issues, the game is still considered enjoyable for those seeking a fun single-player action RPG experience.

    • “However, I found that the game eased up on being entirely random after a while, and the game did end up having a fair number of good jokes and references, even if that element of completely nonsensical storytelling never really disappears.”
    • “Definitely worth it if you can hop into the game with some other people to have a nice bit of mindless fun, just be sure to pay attention to the quests you get so you don't get so lost.”
    • “The story of this game is pretty hard to get into at first.”
    • “The story is nonsensical at times, the maps can be really hard to navigate, combat gets a bit grindy at higher levels, and the multiplayer experience is not good, but it's still a fun game, and I'd still recommend it if you're looking for a fun single-player action RPG.”
    • “Story: I mean there are words and I understand what they mean, but they don’t go together.”
  • humor13 mentions

    The game's humor is characterized by a heavy reliance on randomness, which can make it challenging to engage with initially, though many players find it ultimately enjoyable.

  • gameplay10 mentions

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring satisfying combat mechanics and a unique art style reminiscent of classic games. However, it suffers in multiplayer due to visibility issues and can become repetitive with random buffs and debuffs.
