The game's story is primarily conveyed through solo missions that effectively introduce players to its mechanics without overwhelming them with tutorials. Players progress through various mission types, including target practice and speed runs, earning ranks that unlock additional content and challenges, ultimately leading to a hard mode and credits. Overall, the narrative unfolds through gameplay rather than a traditional storyline, focusing on skill development and progression.

“There are moments that could have been impactful, but the narrative fails to deliver any real emotional weight.”
