The game's story is minimal and often considered an afterthought, primarily serving as a backdrop for its engaging gameplay rather than a focal point. Players appreciate the simplicity and silliness of the narrative, which allows for a more relaxed experience focused on character building and exploration, reminiscent of classic RPGs. While the interactions with NPCs can be enjoyable, the overall plot lacks depth, making it more of a premise for action rather than a compelling story.
- “The game's story is pretty simple and could be summed up as an NPC saying 'I don't know how you save the world, go figure it out.' I really appreciate that the game doesn't tell you with flashing billboards screaming 'go here' or 'do this' as the game design is already very stimulating with the mage class.”
- “The story and lore of the game were pretty straightforward and simple but were enjoyable nonetheless.”
- “The story is largely an afterthought.”
- “There's very little story, but the interactions you can have with NPCs are enjoyable and remind me of messing around in older JRPGs just to see what every NPC has to say.”
- “This isn't the game you play if you're looking for a compelling or story-driven game to suck you in; it's just good with something to watch on your second monitor.”

- “In terms of sound and graphics, it's reminiscent of old NES games, but in terms of gameplay it's fast-paced, with action combat that feels more like a shmup than an RPG.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game enjoyable, highlighting the classic RPG elements and the ability to reset dungeons for higher-level challenges. While the core grinding for levels and achievements can be fun, some feel that postgame requirements, such as extensive farming for materials and achievements, can become tedious and detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game balances grinding with engaging gameplay, though some players may find certain aspects overly time-consuming.
- “Grinding the achievements at endgame is a bit of a hassle.”
- “I didn't 100% the game because I don't like needless grinding, but I would say I've completed about 80% of it, including the secret boss, and came to about 11 hours.”
- “Took me about 12 more hours from there to beat the game; however, a lot of that time went into clearing achievements that required hefty grinding which I will not be doing again, especially since it should be unnecessary when going for clears with a single build in mind.”

- “My wife made the comment that it would be funny if, when maxed out, it teleported you across the map.”
