The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with many reviewers noting that the campaign consists mainly of progressively harder missions without a compelling narrative.

- “Some storyline (beyond short descriptions on maps) would really make the whole experience more immersive.”
- “Imagine if you were playing Starcraft and they removed the strategy, micro, and the story and only left you with macro.”
