The game's story is generally considered underwhelming, with players noting its lack of depth and engagement, often feeling it is not a significant focus. While the missions can become repetitive, the story mode allows for flexible gameplay and team development, though the narrative itself does not captivate many players. Additionally, some players have experienced bugs that disrupt the flow of missions, further detracting from the overall storytelling experience.

- “The story is present but not intrusive.”
- “There are three different gameplay modes: story, survival, and roguelite.”
- “There are two things that I want to address which I didn't really like about the game: (1) missions get repetitive after a certain amount of levels and (2) on numerous occasions during missions, enemies will be attacking enemies or allies attacking allies for no apparent reason. Is this a bug in the game?”
- “I've mainly played the story mode, which has a story I don't particularly care much about, but also lets you play missions and develop your team at your own pace.”
- “Not much story, just.”
