Does this game actually have a good story?

Or is it more like 'good for a dungeon crawler'?

It does have a decent story.

The story definitely isn't much of a focus tbh. It's a decent story overall, albeit a bit generic. It feels like we're only getting a very tiny portion of the characters story and we're thrown into it mid-way or something.

Like the entire story takes place on a island. The playable characters all came to the island together but were separated when their airship was shot out of the sky and the story revolves around finding your missing friends and stopping the bad guys on the island who're intent on resurrecting some evil entity. I won't delve deeper to avoid potential spoilers of a fairly light story.

The story points only progress through small cutscenes when you beat a dungeon. By the way dungeons are replayable at different difficulties and the game is setup in a way that usually requires you to have played each dungeon twice to collect all the lores and remain decently leveled (no actual grind required tbh and if you do need to grind a level or two in a certain spot, the fastest way is to battle the sky pirates flying around on the world map).

The battle system is for sure the focus of the game and the most engaging aspect and it's because of this that I'm looking forward to more Battle Chasers. Would love to see a prequel game showcasing how the group of characters originally met each other, etc... as well as sequels showcasing stories in different parts of the Battle Chasers world.

If you love turn-based jRPG styled games you'll enjoy what this game has to offer. I really love the cellshaded artistic design of the game myself... and the game is currently on sale for under ten bucks so definitely pick it up if you're itching to play. If you're curious about the battle system, check out some gameplay videos on youtube.

It's actually slightly cheaper on Fanatical at the moment if you use the coupon code BLACKFRIDAY10 to get an extra 10% off the price making the final price $8.90 which I feel is a bargain for the game. I think I bought it for about $14.

Your comments is longer than your actual review lmao.

look it up

The game pretty much assumes you know the core cast (i.e. everyone but Alumon) from the comics, but it isn't necessary to enjoy what amounts to the story of the game. They refer to it in the various character interactions at the inn, which is nice for fans of the franchise, but otherwise this is a standalone plot. It's not bad, kinda generic 'shipwreck into land with mysterious past that transforms into world-threatening plot' sort of deal, but it's fun to run around and kill ♥♥♥♥.
