The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it enjoyable and engaging, particularly in the second half, while others criticize it for being linear, shallow, and filled with cheesy humor. Many quests are described as tedious and repetitive, leading to frustration, although a few are noted as enjoyable. Overall, while the narrative has potential, it often falls short of expectations, leaving players divided on its quality.
“Overall it is a fun game and the story is really nice.”
“I have fun playing it, and I'm really curious to see what happens next and how the story will end.”
“I'm curious to see how the story unfolds.”
“The story itself seemed shallow, though I was only about an hour into the actual story.”
“The main focus is on the story which seems okay, but they speak gibberish and you have to read all the dialogue.”
“The only reason is the quests are dragging for far too long; they send you to point A for 20 seconds, and once you got there, it takes 5 seconds for the quest to complete.”

While some jokes and moments are appreciated, the overall consensus is that the humor is hit-or-miss, with a few finding it charming and others deeming it mediocre. Overall, it offers a lighthearted experience, but expectations for comedic depth should be tempered.

Gameplay reviews highlight a challenging transition between player movement and horse riding, with mixed feelings about the combat mechanics, which are often reduced to button mashing. While some players appreciate the option to customize controls, others find the overall execution lacking, citing issues like long load times and poorly implemented mechanics. Overall, the gameplay experience is seen as needing significant polish and refinement.
“The switching from player movement to horse riding is a bit difficult at first, but I think the mechanic is okay if you play with keyboard and mouse and go with the recommended options.”
“While I personally am okay with the default/recommended options, for people preferring point-and-click movement mechanics, I'd suggest picking 'cursor-oriented' settings instead.”
“The long load times are a bit annoying, and commentary speech bubbles seem to move a little quicker than expected or can be missed due to automatic skipping; however, the gameplay is good.”
“The trailer shows the best of the best moments, that are scattered between horse riding segments and mediocre fighting gameplay.”
“I'd turn in circles, and the only way to get out would be to reload the last checkpoint, resulting in losing the past 10+ minutes of gameplay.”
“Fighting with weapons is just a button mash to see who gets the first hit in; spells require sniper pinpoint accuracy. Heavy hits and blocking are a nice idea, but need better implementation to be a solid combat mechanic.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received criticism for its poor launch and excessive ads, leading to frustration among players who feel misled about the game's value. Many users express disappointment with the overall quality and execution, suggesting a trend of subpar products in recent years.
“I bought the game expecting a full launch, but it starts and then just stops. I'm so tired of the last couple of years with bad launches, poor products, endless ads, and other problems. Anyway, that's just one burned-out millennial. If it works for others, more power to you. Good luck, have fun.”
