The story is described as a mixed experience, with some players finding the redemption arc and character interactions lacking depth, leading to a sense of frustration with the linear progression and repetitive gameplay. However, others appreciated the interconnected narratives of multiple characters, engaging plot twists, and emotional depth, particularly in the latter parts of the game. Overall, while the storytelling has its flaws, it also offers moments of immersion and satisfaction for those who invest in it.
- “The story is delivered at a brisk clip between battles with opportunities to shop, build your deck, and upgrade.”
- “You are set with multiple characters, each with their own story (warning, some of the intros are a bit on the long side, but they do their best to keep you entertained while also teaching you the basics of the game).”
- “The writing is adequate; I didn't play every character's story, but from what I did play, I enjoyed the various stories and how they interconnect with each other.”
- “The redemption story feels pointless with two characters who talk past each other almost the whole run.”
- “In addition, since the story is fairly linear, and there is usually only 1-2 interest points that you can click on at any point, the click on an interest point then watching your character walk to that spot to inevitably start a card fight gets really old really quickly.”
- “When the characters are interacting with one another and talking, pop-up dialogue boxes tell the whole story anyway.”
