The story in the game is generally considered forgettable and serves mainly as filler, with some players opting to skip it entirely. While the narrative features an anime girl theme, it lacks depth and engagement, overshadowed by solid gameplay mechanics and a variety of vehicle options. Overall, the story does not significantly enhance the experience, but the gameplay remains enjoyable for those seeking a retro-style shooter.
“Tight responsive controls, wide variety of playable 'vulvehicles', and an entertaining enough story.”
“Granted, the game itself is not particularly deep, and the storyline/dialogue scenes are mostly just forgettable filler, but the actual gameplay is solid enough where I can more or less recommend vulvehicles to anyone looking for a competently made, retro-style shooter.”
“And if you lose a tank, it's gone for not only that mission or chapter, but your entire run through the game.”
“Honestly, the anime girl story was completely skipped by me.”
“Granted, the game itself is not particularly deep, and the storyline/dialogue scenes are mostly just forgettable filler.”
