story
19 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story aspect of the game is characterized by lengthy missions that players find engaging but frustrating due to the lack of mid-mission save options, leading to potential hours of replaying after failure. While the missions are described as polished and reminiscent of old-school gameplay, the initial guidance is lacking, leaving players confused about objectives. Overall, the narrative experience is compelling but marred by technical limitations and a desire for more structured support.
“Personally, I recommend the game to those looking for an old-school lone wolf experience (keep in mind this is not a polished product) and I'm waiting for the future release of single-player missions/maps (check the roadmap) - I don't care about the multiplayer part of the game!”
“My reason given for the refund: the developer wouldn't consider inserting something as basic as a save in the middle of a mission and laughed at the idea of having one.”
“The first training mission doesn't tell you where to go; after you leave the first building, there's no instructions or hints on what to do next.”
“The first mission involves a briefing in a helicopter, after which you're dumped in a swamp near some bad guys whom you're expected to take out, except none of your weapons are silenced.”
