The story of the game is praised for its creative, charming, and nostalgic RPG feel, blending humor and engaging quests reminiscent of classic titles like Zelda. However, some players find the storyline too simple or feel that many main missions and side quests go unnoticed due to time constraints. Technical issues with continuing the story and control problems have also been reported, which affect the overall experience.
- “If you are tired of all the pay-to-win and watch-this-ad-for-coins type of games, Swords of Ditto is a refreshing throwback to games like Zelda, with brilliant graphics, genuinely fun game mechanics, a good storyline, and puzzles.”
- “This game is amazing, somehow bringing me back to good old RPGs but without that old RPG vibe. The puzzles are great, the storyline is hilarious, and it has amazing art and a sticker system. It has gamepad support and is pretty challenging. I love how your death affects the game, so if you're playing heroic, don't get too attached.”
- “Beautiful game; the drawings are very nostalgic with a very interesting story, plot, and I love the mechanics.”
- “Another thing, can't bother doing side quests since you run out of time fast and have to fight the boss.”
- “I leveled up only one character by defeating Mormo a few times, but there are so many quests and main missions that went unnoticed and incomplete, which is disappointing.”
- “1 star rating, I tap continue story button and nothing happens. Please fix this bug, really enjoyed this game until this bug appeared.”
