The story aspect of the game is criticized for its incoherence and lack of clarity, with players expressing frustration over the absence of a tutorial and confusing mechanics. While a quest journal is present, the removal of completed quests from NPCs adds to the disorganization, leaving players feeling that the narrative experience is unsatisfactory and unengaging.
- “The lack of tutorial, the crappy time-dilation system, the almost unmanageable units, the 'what does that spell do exactly?', the mostly incoherent story... everything tries to make you feel you wasted your money here.”
