The game's story is a standout feature, praised for its depth, intriguing plot twists, and well-developed antagonist, earning it high marks from players. While some found the narrative surprisingly engaging despite initial expectations, issues with translation and grammar detracted from the overall experience. The chemistry between characters and the unique premise, including the use of an undead character, further enhance the storytelling, though some felt the inclusion of hentai scenes interrupted the narrative flow.
“The antagonist is well-done, and the end game plot has a mild enough twist to not be completely surprising but still foreshadowed well enough that a savvy trope-enthusiast can see it coming.”
“An amazing game with a story that actually took me by surprise at its depth and intrigue.”
“A good story with a really nice progression from start to finish.”
“But, in fact, it could use better translations because there are lots of typos and grammar errors which partially troubled me to catch up with the storylines.”
“The antagonist is well-done as well and the end game plot has a mild enough twist to not be completely surprising but still foreshadowed well enough that a savvy trope-enthusiast can see it coming.”

“You can't tell, but in a flash, a few hours have passed, and you're grinding out the next few levels you need.”
“The beginning started out as a 'you need to grind to survive' since you need skills and abilities to fight the monsters, which you can only get by grinding out said monsters.”

The gameplay features engaging combat mechanics that turn encounters with multiple enemies into manageable puzzles, though some players find it easy even on higher difficulty settings. While the introduction of new mechanics is appreciated, there are calls for improved translations to enhance the overall experience.
“Combats with multiple enemies have their own stagger and isolation mechanics that make each encounter a fairly easy to solve puzzle.”
“Interesting game with some new mechanics.”
“Combats with multiple enemies have their own stagger and isolation mechanics that make each encounter a fairly easy puzzle.”
“The gameplay is easy even on hard mode.”
“I would like if the game got an updated translation just like Mechanica got one before, since the game could use a retranslation to be on the same level of translation as the other Doubles*core games.”
