The story aspect of the game is currently lacking, with no substantial narrative present. While the initial moments of the story mode are engaging and provide a welcome break between encounters, the overall execution suffers from poor audio quality and basic spell mechanics, detracting from immersion and depth.
- “The beginnings of the story mode are awesome and provide a great break between encounters.”
- “The narrative is rich and engaging, drawing you into the world and its characters.”
- “The plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat, making every moment feel impactful.”
- “No story at the moment.”
- “The audio of the tutorial sounded like a guy sitting at a PC with a cheap mic, immediately ripping you from any chance of immersing yourself into the game (like watching bad acting on TV takes away from the storyline). The spells are basic and few, and the graphics are fundamental.”

Overall, opinions on performance vary, with some considering it a fair deal for the price despite the drawbacks.
- “Didn't encounter any performance issues yet, so for the price it seems like a fair deal.”
- “Unfortunately, the performance on the overland map kills it for me on an RX 480.”
