The story is generally praised for being well-crafted and engaging, with a straightforward plot involving gods and elemental energies that ties together nicely. However, some players find the side quests tedious and the overall narrative lacking depth, suggesting that those seeking a more character-driven experience might want to look elsewhere. While the game is not overly long or difficult, it offers a mix of action and story that appeals to various play styles.
“The story is really well crafted, the mechanics are solid, and it doesn't eat a lot of your time.”
“Great storyline and animation, and everything ties together in the end.”
“I love the story.”
“The story was pretty straightforward with the four energies, the gods, and killing the dark one.”
“NPCs dropped meaningless clues or would send you on a large fetch quest that oftentimes had you going back and forth across various regions far too often to be any sort of fun.”
“If you're looking for something a bit more streamlined, and perhaps a bit more story and character driven, you might want to find a different game to play.”

The graphics of the game are a mixed bag; while some players find them impressive for an RPG Maker title, others feel they are lacking and more appropriate for a platform like Newgrounds. Overall, the art style is appreciated, particularly in the context of real-time combat, but opinions vary on whether it justifies the game's price.
“The graphics are nice, but overall it feels like a game better suited for Newgrounds.”
“The graphics are really lacking.”
“Visually, it's pretty impressive for an RPG Maker game - at least I think it's RPG Maker since those resources (artwork and audio) come from RPG Maker XP.”
“This game looks like it'll be worth its price tag, and definitely worth it on sale especially if the real-time combat with this art style is what you're looking for.”
