Story
The protagonist is a character named 'You' who has to face many challenges and meet the King and the masters, who are also classes the players can play as (Baller, Slicer, Piercer, and Crusher).

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The soundtrack is amazing. The game features many Nintendo songs and a few other songs that are nice to listen to.
 * 2) The thumbnails and class descriptions look nice and have great renders and artwork.
 * 3) Each class is really good to play with. All of them have unique attacks that help in battle, although they have downsides. If you level up enough in a class, you get to unlock special attacks at levels 25 and 50.
 * 4) * Baller throws Ball Projectiles at enemies which can do some damage. Baller is also the fastest class and one of the easiest to play with. Baller's downside is that they can take damage very easily.
 * 5) * Slicer uses a sword to hurt enemies. Slicer is one of the strongest classes and can do a lot of damage. Slicer's downside is that they are slower than Baller and Piercer.
 * 6) * Piercer uses a bow and arrow to shoot at enemies. Piercer is very helpful in Bosses like SpringWrath and is stronger than Baller. Piercer's downside is that they are stronger than Baller but weaker than Slicer and Crusher, and Slower than Baller.
 * 7) * Crusher uses a hammer to attack enemies. Crusher is the strongest class in the game. Crusher's downside is that they are the slowest in the game
 * 8) The Bosses are very fun to battle, although some have identical attacks, bosses such as BassDevil have unique attacks.
 * 9) * BassDevil is the 2nd phase of Techno Devil. BassDevil has an attack where he shoots projectiles at the players. BassDevil also goes up the arena, shooting projectiles. BassDevil is vulnerable when he is cooling down.
 * 10) * Sir Kadee uses his sword to make attacks that spawn from the ground. Unfortunately, Sir Kadee is one of the hardest bosses in the game, and it is almost impossible to defeat him.
 * 11) * The Masters all use their own attack against the players. Baller, for example, uses his ball projectiles to throw at the players. Baller is also fast. Another example is Slicer, who is slower, but can do many unique attacks with his sword.
 * 12) * Arcane Warlock attacks the players by making a huge spherical shockwave, you can avoid this by looking at if he has a forcefield or not. Arcane Warlock also gets a giant sphere up the ground that shoots mini-spheres at players.
 * 13) After the Main Story, there are some more Chapters that are played right after which are fun. The current ones are Christmas Wrath and Nostalgia Revived 2. The game also has Nostalgia Revived 1, which has the bosses Soul Weegee and Soul Turdulator. The game also had a Christmas Chapter named Christmas Wrath.
 * 14) * Nature Wrath is a chapter that is played after beating the main story. The King tells 'You' that the Orinthian Empire is being attacked by a threat named SpringWrath, and that 'You' needs to stop SpringWrath. The chapter features players having to fight SpringWrath's knights and eventually SpringWrath's right hand man, Spring FOE, and then eventually SpringWrath themselves.
 * 15) * Nostalgia Revived 1: War of Souls, shortened as NR1, is a chapter based off of a Roblox game named Soul Wars. The King tells 'You' that Arcane Warlock and Dezadon had been kidnapped by an unknown figure (who is later revealed to be Soul Turdulator) who is not a member of the Darkin, but possibly trying to take their goal first. The chapter features players protecting the castle from the Soul Army, an army led by Soul Turdulator.
 * 16) * Nostalgia Revived 2: Noob Defender, shortened as NR2, is a chapter based off of a Roblox game named Defend The Statue. The King tells 'You' that all the main bosses fought in Chapter 1 have real life counterparts, one of them being the Noob King, which was Baller's idea for the players to fight. The King says the Noob King is apparently a real threat, and that he has formed a group named the Master Noobs, who are attacking a statue, a statue that must be defended. This chapter features players protecting the statue from various waves of noobs. There is a boss fought every once in a while. After many waves, the Master Noobs are fought. The final Master Noob is named Sir Kadee. Once Sir Kadee is defeated, he exclaims that he will return and leaves.
 * 17) * Nostalgia Revived 3 isn't out yet, but it might come soon.
 * 18) * Christmas Wrath was a chapter played after beating the main story. The King informs 'You' that a thief named MerryWrath has stolen a powerful artifact from Redcliff, and that 'You' needs to stop them. Like Nature Wrath, this chapter features players fighting MerryWrath's Knights and eventually Merrywrath's right hand man, Christmas FOE, and then eventually MerryWrath themselves.
 * 19) * True Nostalgia Revived 1 is a harder version of NR1 where Soul Turdulator becomes Soul SazErenos.
 * 20) The lobby has a great design and is fun to explore.
 * 21) The game has a great lives system. Each player has 7 lives each round in a Chapter, which makes the game easier for new players who don't have much experience.
 * 22) The game isn't easy, and it's really challenging, which makes the game more fun.
 * 23) The game's cutscenes are detailed and have animations, which make the game more unique.
 * 24) The game has many nice visuals, like the dialogue, enemy healthbars, and boss healthbars.
 * 25) Like the bosses, there are a variety of enemies that are fun to battle.
 * 26) The game has good characters. Unlike some Roblox games, the characters appear throughout the game.
 * 27) Speaking of the characters, the game also has many villains, with most of them working with The Darkin, the main villainous organization of the game. Some villains are McSlash and Techno Devil. The Main Antagonist is implied to be the ??? character.
 * 28) The level design in the game is nice and very detailed. The beginning of chapter 6 features going up a rock wall and going into a dark hallway.
 * 29) The Mysteliates help a lot in battles since they all possess unique abilities. An example of this is Heal, which heals you in battle.
 * 30) When you gain points, you can buy better weapons in the weapons shop which help in battle.
 * 31) You can get tons of badges in the game for leveling up in classes or completing chapters.
 * 32) There is a lot of humor in the game, such as 'You' making jokes that make the antagonists angry or the Noobs talking in a funny way in Nostalgia Revived 2.
 * 33) You can buy mini-versions of the masters in the game to wear on your avatar, which are pretty cheap. You can also buy attack versions, which are versions of the masters that you can wear behind you, but this one is more expensive.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) There is a glitch in some servers where you fight an enemy or boss and not only does the player get flung up in the air, sometimes even off the map, but the boss does too, making a fight longer and ruining the game.
 * 2) The game can be ruined by players who only play as Baller just to reference the meme, which can ruin the game for everyone since some chapters require certain classes.
 * 3) Some of the gamepasses are extremely expensive, such as The gamepass SliceADon, which is a skin for Slicer, costs 1,050 Robux.
 * 4) The bosses can be a bit cheap, since that a lot of them can attack players with attacks that kill them with one hit, and they also have big hitboxes as well. Some of the bosses are also faster than the player as well.
 * 5) * SpringWrath also has a flying attack that not only kills the player in one hit, but also leaves a trail as well that also kills the player.
 * 6) * Sir Kadee's fight in Nostalgia Revived 2 also has a ground attack that is almost impossible to avoid.
 * 7) As stated earlier, a lot of the bosses have identical attacks, with most of them being shockwaves.
 * 8) The game features microtransactions, mostly for BP (Boss Points) for skins and more, but the player might not buy these at all.
 * 9) McSlash is a rather underwhelming name for an intimidating foe, especially since that he has a second form and that his original name before turning evil was actually Slasher, a much cooler name.
 * 10) The Siege Noobs in Nostalgia Revived 2 have bad hitboxes, are hard to attack (only being able to be hurt in the head), do a lot of damage, and are fast, making them one of the worst enemies in the game.
 * 11) While Chapter 1 is the first Chapter in the game, you only stay in one arena during the whole chapter and all of the bosses and enemies do the same thing.

Reception
