The story is criticized for being minimal and poorly explained, revolving around a simplistic premise of aliens attacking Earth and a malfunctioning laser on the moon, leaving players feeling unsatisfied and confused.
“Not really any story; aliens attack Earth, a laser on the moon doesn't work, and you are there to get it back in working order.”
“I don't know, nothing is explained in the game, and the story is severely lacking.”
