The game's story is largely absent, with players noting a lack of in-game narrative or lore beyond a brief description on the store page. Many find the storytelling weak and clichéd, leading to a disjointed experience that fails to engage, especially given the short length of the game. Overall, the absence of meaningful context or character development detracts significantly from the gameplay experience.
“There's no story or lore past the final boss you face tying back into the title screen.”
“There's no explanation of the story, items, etc. There seems to be a story based on the game description on the store page; however, in-game, not a word is said.”
“Throws you right in with no story unless you read the paragraph on the store's page, which is very cliché.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the fight mechanics and find dodging adds to the fun, others criticize it for being overly simplistic, allowing enemies to be defeated with minimal effort. Overall, the experience varies significantly depending on player skill and engagement with the mechanics.
“I really enjoy the fight mechanics, along with dodging. Once you learn to dodge properly, the game gets considerably more fun and slightly easier.”
“I don't know, fortunately it cost me less than €0.50 thanks to a 90% coupon, and it has trading cards and such, so it's not that terrible, but the gameplay is awful.”
“The gameplay feels clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to enjoy any aspect of the game.”
“I was really disappointed with the gameplay; it lacks depth and becomes repetitive very quickly.”
