The story aspect of the game is criticized for its poorly drawn intro scenes that feel unfinished and for lacking a clear introduction to the plot, leaving players disoriented. This has led to a disconnect where some players are indifferent to the narrative, especially when frequent deaths force them to focus more on gameplay than on story engagement.
“The intro scenes are not very well drawn and look like they were taken directly from the storyboard.”
“You're thrown into the plot with no explanation.”
“Sometimes players don't care about the story; they die and have to re-enter the fight.”

Reviewers highlight that the lack of skippable cutscenes in replayable games, similar to the Mega Man series, significantly detracts from the overall replayability experience, as players find it tedious to watch the same scenes repeatedly.
“The game offers a variety of paths and choices, making each playthrough feel unique and engaging.”
“With multiple endings and character builds, I find myself coming back to explore different strategies.”
“The random events and challenges keep the gameplay fresh, encouraging me to replay it time and again.”
“When you make a short replayable game akin to the Mega Man series, you should make every single cutscene skippable.”
“Having to watch all the cutscenes over and over again every time you play is a major hassle and hurts replayability.”
