The story is described as engaging yet somewhat secondary to the main heroes, focusing on a "b-team" that follows their journey while pursuing their own goals. Players appreciate the dual perspectives offered through different gameplay modes, although some critiques highlight a lack of enjoyment without external content, such as TFS gaming videos. Overall, opinions are mixed, with some praising the narrative and music while others find it lacking.
“And it is interesting to see the story events play out from two different points of view by beating the game and then using the meme team NG+ mode.”
“I loved the story and music and everything about it.”
“Their story lags just a bit behind the main heroes, unknowingly following in their footsteps as this 'B-team' works towards their own goal of beating the bad guys and saving the world.”
“The story is also bad; there is no fun if you don't watch almost every TFS gaming video.”

The humor in the game is characterized by a mix of quirky dialogue and pop culture references, particularly appealing to fans of TFS (Team Four Star). Players find moments of hilarity, such as unexpected character interactions and amusing video clips, which enhance the overall experience despite the game's RPG Maker aesthetic. While some humor may resonate more with specific fanbases, it generally adds a lighthearted charm to the gameplay.
“And I tell ya, when I first jogged to the first town and talked to the guy by the fountain, and it played a video of a Tomodachi Life Hercule Satan singing about how great he is, I was laughing my @$$ off! :) I also understand how hard a game is to finish, and I give you props. Even though it looks like RPG Maker MV still, I can tell you put a lot of effort into it.”
“This is standard RPG Maker with funny dialogue.”
“I really love being able to play as the guys and fight puddings, and it plays really fun because, well, it's Final Fantasy but with funny TFS references. What's not to love!?”

The gameplay is criticized for its poorly designed mechanics and lack of engaging content, with some classes being unbalanced. Players find the maps uninspired and grinding tedious, although the music is noted as a positive aspect. Overall, the experience feels empty and lacking in depth.
“They can also change classes, which is a fun mechanic to play with for a while.”
“The gameplay offers a variety of mechanics that keep the experience engaging.”
“The music is not bad, and while the maps could use improvement, the core gameplay has its moments.”
“The game mechanics are very poorly designed, and the game feels rather empty.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including both minor glitches and severe, game-breaking bugs that render it unplayable for some users. While players express a strong desire to enjoy the game, frequent freezes and crashes during gameplay lead to considerable frustration and disappointment.
“There are minor glitches that are annoying, but tolerable, and then there are game-breaking bugs.”
“I love this game and really want to play it, but I can't. It's absolutely unplayable, not because it's too hard or too boring, but because it freezes. The first time I lost a few battles was frustrating, but the second time I lost 20 minutes in a castle run. Just so disappointing. Really, if it didn't do that, I'd pay for the game.”

The graphics in this RPG Maker game are criticized for their low quality, particularly in fullscreen mode, lacking full HD support and customization options, which may disappoint modern PC gamers. The use of a basic game engine results in default graphics that do not meet contemporary standards.
“The graphics are impressive and really enhance the overall experience of the game.”
“The art style is unique and beautifully crafted, making every scene visually appealing.”
“The attention to detail in the graphics adds depth and immersion to the gameplay.”
“As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”
“Self-made, knowledge of content, easy to use game engine with default graphics.”

Players note that grinding is essential in the early game but becomes significantly easier after defeating the first boss. However, the repetitive and uninspired map design makes grinding feel tedious, lacking engaging mechanics or visuals to enhance the experience, despite the decent music.
“Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
“The grind is satisfying and offers a real sense of progression.”
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“The maps are lazily done, and you will find that grinding in those bland maps is a pain. Although the music is not bad, the lack of any mechanics or visuals to enhance the encounters is very concerning.”
“Grinding is important early in the game, but after the first boss, it's a breeze.”
