The game's story, centered around a plane crash on an island, is generally viewed as basic and lacking depth, with many players finding it unengaging and tacked on to the gameplay. While the comic book panel presentation adds a unique visual style, the overall narrative fails to captivate, leading to a monotonous experience that does not significantly enhance the survival mechanics.
- “I like that it has a compelling story of a plane crashing on an island. Pretty much everyone has this story in their game already, but your survival nature takes you for a ride. Do you conserve your strength or chop everything in the area? Do you kill locals or run from them?”
- “The game's story is presented in comic book style panels between levels, which adds a unique visual flair to the narrative.”
- “The game's aesthetic does not detract from the story, which is delivered in a comic book panel style, enhancing both the storytelling and gameplay experience.”
