Is the story good?

[Kain]

Or focused on gameplay only?

I'm wondering the same thing. Seems no one is answering it. Did you end up getting the game, it's on sale right now 1-6-2018

You can tell if people own the game by the mouse icon next to their name. I only bought the game a couple of hours ago, so I can't really comment on the story as yet. First impressions are pretty good though.

sotry is big meh, we do get some backstories about the villian and such but overall nothing speical about the stroy and not many character interactions so its pretty blend imo

Story was decent. If you want more interactions to flush out what is going on you have to sleep at the inn... Which isn't something you do that often, as the game isn't that hard. (Sleeping restores all to full, refills your dungeon skills, and lets time pass to respawn some enemies and overworld loot).

It's your typical save the world kinda run of the mill. Like some reviewers have said, it's decent, nothing special, and honestly the biggest 'thing' that's missing from it is proper character development, in the sense that there seem to be no major or personal things happening in their lives.

I'm lvl 16 righ now and all the talks I've gotten while 'resting' in the tavern were pretty shallow - protect Gilly, let's go do some training; that's about all it amounted to.

Gilly has this glove that's supposed to be her father's memento (not a spoiler, it's written on the item's description), but so far she's mentioned nothing meaningful about it.

There've been no life-altering choices made by the characters, nothing dramatic from their past, nothing even remotely resembling some kind of major 'reveal' about them. And with that, I agree with those reviewers - the story is lacking in those departments, though I haven't experienced the full thing yet, as I'm only at about the mid point.

There are at least 2 twists involving characters near the end, both are welcomed, one is foreshadowed, one is '0.0'.

Not a whole lot of roleplaying, but you generally get a good sense of who your heroes 'are' inside the frequent battles.

You get a bit more as you keep resting. You'll learn tid bits about Red's past interactions, the old man's drinking issues, and some more of G's... softer side. Or my favorite, Red refusing a bunch of Gully's compliments, followed by the two of them going out to blow ♥♥♥♥ up.

I've not seen all of the inn scenes though. Game says you'll get some "sometimes," which makes me think it allows some every X levels or after every dungeon... So there are probably several I've not gotten.
From what I have gotten, I can concur, nothing amazing revealed... It's more about giving little details and flushing out characters, not making the story bigger... Just more full.

If you want some meaningfull story it isn't a game for you. Story seems quite cliche from what I was able to see myself so far, characters aren't anything special either unless you read Battle Chasers comics. For me it's just a great treat to see and hear these characters, it's like a side story/spin off of the comic. With some nice interactions between the characters in the inn when you are resting. Only voice that I don't like much if Garissons, he sounded differently in my mind but that's the magic of books and comics, you never will get 100% match with your imagination.
All in all it's really good to see Joe Mad brain child(he had some idea about the Battle Chasers world since he was a kid)in that medium as well. I cannot see what he did made for this game and what is he planning for a continuation of the comic in the future.
