    The story in "Zoro the Chronicles" is largely minimalistic, featuring a non-linear succession of missions with simple objectives and limited narrative depth.

Overall, the narrative experience is described as lacking substance, with a focus on gameplay over storytelling.

    • “No word is needed to even tell the story; you can feel the beats instinctively as it connects so deeply with the soul.”
    • “Great story too!”
    • “There's no storyline, which I'm fine with; only a non-linear succession of missions with a simple intro and objective.”
    • “The story is almost non-existent, however.”
    • “You do get some text before each mission describing your objective, but it feels very inconsequential and low stakes.”
  • gameplay7 mentions

    • “Good stealth and fighting mechanics that are easy to learn.”
    • “I think the gameplay is smooth; it’s of a lesser difficulty, which makes it fun to sit down and play (rather than frustrating), and I like that it offers character options that make it a fun play for boys or girls (who can play as either Zorro or Inez).”
    • “The maps are beautiful, even if the buildings look very similar, and the scenery is often the same, but the gameplay is very fast and fluid.”
    • “Gameplay gushing aside, I have never connected more with a story before playing Zoro: The Chronicles.”
    • “It shares some gameplay concepts with those titles, but is less gritty or violent than those games.”
  • graphics7 mentions

    • “Zorro: The Chronicles has fun, albeit incredibly simplistic combat, but suffers immensely from a tremendously low budget, meaning a near complete lack of cutscenes, a very short length at about 4.5 hours, and it graphically looks like a PS2 title (no, this is not an exaggeration).”
    • “Graphically, Zorro: The Chronicles looks terrible.”
