The game's story, centered around a gorilla rallying a team of "ape avengers" to combat an evil corporation, is praised for its humor and engaging dialogue, contributing to the overall charm. However, the lack of side quests may limit players' exploration and appreciation of the world, as there are few opportunities to deviate from the main narrative. While the story isn't particularly unique, it effectively balances simplicity with entertaining interactions.
“The dialog is funny, the art matches the feel of the game perfectly, and the story is great.”
“The game's storyline - an evil corporation comes to destroy the titular gorilla's home and so he assembles an all-star ape avengers to defeat them - allows for a lot of fun and funny dialog and interactions.”
“I think this adds to the charm of the game as it is not trying to be overly complex with its art, story, or dialogue intentionally.”
“Overall, I tend to think not having any side quests can be bad in an RPG, especially if there are extra places to explore, since players may not get to fully appreciate the whole world in its entirety.”
“It does have areas you can choose to explore if you want that aren't part of the main story, but they don't really play like separate stories.”
“There is at least one place I can think of as a sort of side quest, but it doesn't really fit the bill, I'd say.”
