The game's story is primarily conveyed through quick-fire missions that focus on eliminating enemies, with a simplistic narrative that lacks depth. Players can collect intel to unlock comic-style backstory elements, but the overall plot is considered underwhelming and repetitive, with some missions feeling unfairly challenging. While the mission design is varied and allows for replayability, the lack of a solid reward system detracts from the overall engagement with the story.
- “Quality cartoon art carrying the storyline is a nice addition.”
- “I think I'm about halfway through, and although it's simple, it has been fun and rewarding with each mission completed.”
- “It gets a bit repetitive after a while mainly because the game lacks a solid reward system, and the story isn't anything to get hyped about.”
- “Some missions are a bit unfair as you die in 1-2 hits and enemies are able to shoot you from a very long distance (especially snipers) while your bullets don't travel as far.”
- “As you collect 'intel' you get to see parts of the backstory and lore in graphic novel form, which is nice... I just am having trouble determining which order they go in!”
