- “But I wish the story wasn't just 'Oh, I'm mad and drunk - bang, shoot a cop bot, and oh, revolution started. End game.'”
- “The game tries to tell a story about a corrupt, cyborg-filled cyber city within about 10 minutes of gameplay (you can guess how that goes) and accompanies it with poor, buggy graphics and glitchy, ear-piercing audio.”
- “The story is easy to understand, but the game is so short that it doesn't even matter.”
