The game's story is described as having a promising start with intriguing elements, but it ultimately suffers from pacing issues and an unsatisfying conclusion, leaving many players feeling that it lacks depth and coherence. While the characters and dialogue are generally well-received, the lack of a quest tracking system and the potential to miss side quests detract from the overall experience. Many reviewers noted that the story becomes less engaging as the game progresses, leading to a sense of wasted potential.
“The story evokes a feeling from the old days, but with modern gameplay.”
“The story and dialogue are good, and the characters are likeable.”
“Undefeated is a well-rounded adventure RPG with a solid story, combat system, and inventory arrangement.”
“After halfway through, the story feels like a drag, and I'm basically just waiting for the final boss while progressing in 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, leaving many loose ends 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. While some found the music to be decent and enjoyable, others felt it lacked depth and thematic coherence, particularly in battle sequences. Overall, the soundtrack is generally seen as a positive aspect, enhancing the gaming experience despite some areas for improvement.
“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 are 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 a mix of nostalgic RPG elements with modern mechanics, offering various difficulty settings to cater to different player preferences.

“The gameplay, while easy, can be annoying at times.”
“Gameplay - 4/10”
“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.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some appreciate the easy grinding opportunities and the option to selectively engage in battles, others criticize the repetitive nature of encounters and the tediousness of completing quests by talking to NPCs multiple times. The combat system is generally not seen as overly tedious, but the high encounter rate can detract from the overall enjoyment, leading to a sense of monotony in the gameplay.
“The battle system isn't too tedious, although the encounter rate was a bit irritating.”
“Grinding feels rewarding, as each battle brings me closer to my goals.”
“I appreciate how the game balances grinding with engaging mechanics that keep it interesting.”
“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 them 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, resulting in no coherence.”

“The character design, while far from perfect, was better than many other RPG Maker games out there.”
“I just wish the rest of the resources went into character development, honestly.”
“Disappointing character development.”
“Character development (leveling): characters develop at the standard pace as an RPG Maker game.”
