The game's story starts strong with an intriguing premise and well-developed characters, but many players feel it loses momentum in the latter half, becoming underwhelming and rushed towards the end. While the dialogue and writing are generally praised, the lack of a quest tracking system and the potential for missed side quests detract from the overall experience, leaving some players frustrated with unresolved plot points. Overall, the narrative is seen as enjoyable but ultimately fails to deliver a satisfying conclusion.
“The story evokes a feeling from the old days, but with modern gameplay.”
“The story and dialogue are good and the characters are likeable.”
“The premise of the story is that you and your party are military recruits who get mixed up in a more advanced situation, and must find out what is causing mutant creatures to leave the wilderness and invade the local towns.”
“After halfway through, the story feels like a drag, and I'm basically just waiting for the final boss while progressing toward an uncertain direction.”
“Towards the end of the game, however, the focus of the story is lost as it becomes secondary to a series of progressively more difficult battles, and a lot of loose ends were left untied.”
“The story never really took off for me, and before I knew it, it was over before I ever really felt like it got out of what would be 'chapter 1' in a novel.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its custom compositions that fit the game's atmosphere well, particularly in key scenes like the barracks and intro. While some describe the music as decent and enjoyable, others feel it lacks thematic depth and could be improved, especially in battle sequences. Overall, the soundtrack is generally seen as a highlight, contributing positively to the gaming experience.
“Superb music that always fits the current map and/or tone and is a joy to listen to.”
“The game has custom art, and the sounds and soundtrack are nice enough to involve you from beginning to end.”
“The music in the barracks and intro scenes fit the mood very well, and the way the professional soldiers talked to you as a cadet was good.”
“Mapping, music and plot is boring.”
“Though what music there is, isn't great and feels more like variety for the sake of variety rather than any intended theme.”
“Only area I saw that could be easily improved without having to find new commission work would be the battle background music.”

The gameplay is characterized by traditional RPG Maker mechanics, offering a mix of simplicity and nostalgia, with several difficulty settings catering to different player preferences. While some players find it enjoyable and charming, others note that it can be repetitive and occasionally frustrating, particularly due to limited exploration and grinding elements. Overall, the gameplay is seen as decent but may not appeal to everyone, especially those seeking more innovative mechanics.
“Great gameplay - several difficulty settings so something for everyone.”
“It's a nice RPG Maker game, around 12 hours of gameplay and a lot of skills and spells to use!”
“Good writing, likeable characters, decent story, and classic old-school RPG gameplay.”
“The gameplay, while easy, can be annoying at times.”
“I've been a few hours into the actual gameplay, and in both the first world map area and in the second (after climbing the long mountain trail), the game won't allow me to go into any areas apart from where the main quest takes me.”
“Gameplay: it basically boils down to casting status ailment protection, buffing and beating the enemies until they stop moving.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some appreciate the easy grinding mechanics and the option to selectively engage in battles, others feel that the high encounter rate and repetitive tasks, such as talking to NPCs multiple times, can become tedious. The battle system is generally not considered overly tedious, but the overall experience can feel disjointed due to filler content interrupting the main plot.
“The battle system isn't too tedious, making grinding feel more engaging.”
“The battle system isn't too tedious, which helps alleviate some of the irritation from the encounter rate.”
“Combat can become very grindy due to the sheer amount of encounters and maps, though there is an option to reveal the encounters, allowing you to pick and choose which ones to fight and which to avoid.”
“Completing quests is a matter of talking to every person in every town multiple times, which can grow tedious.”
“It's almost as if the main plot was written start to finish, and then 'filler' banter was inserted periodically along the route to break the monotony of grinding... no coherence.”

Character development in the game has been widely criticized, with many reviewers finding it disappointing and lacking depth. While characters level up at a standard RPG Maker pace, meaningful growth is sparse, primarily conveyed through brief interactions and dialogue rather than substantial narrative progression. Overall, players express a desire for more resources to be allocated to enhancing character development.
“Lastly, the way the game handles character development is through small chit chat and comments that you and your team members have throughout your adventure.”
“The character design, while far from perfect, was better than many other RPG Maker games out there.”
“Disappointing character development.”
“Character development (leveling): characters develop at the standard pace as an RPG Maker game.”
“Lastly, the way the game handles character development is through small chit-chat and comments that you and your team members have throughout your adventure.”
