The game's story is described as interesting and enjoyable, but it is notably short, with players completing the main narrative in just a couple of hours. However, a significant issue arises post-completion, as players encounter bugs that prevent them from replaying story stages, effectively locking them out of achievements. Despite these technical problems, the game features a meta progression system that adds depth to the gameplay.
“A lot of fun to play with an interesting story.”
“There is a meta progression (you get shards that can be used to improve your stats and spells) and the story is just there.”
“Haven't 100% completed the game yet but finished the main story in just a couple of hours.”
“Once you beat story mode, the game bugs and you cannot repeat the story stages (locking your achievements out).”
“This is clearly not supposed to be that way, because there's still an option to 'come back' to the story chapter, but instead, the game ignores the button and repeats the survival screen.”
