The gameplay is characterized by simple yet addictive mechanics, though some players find it a bit clunky and underdeveloped. While the game features engaging rogue-like elements and a quick gameplay loop, certain systems lack clear explanations, which may hinder the experience, especially for solo players. Overall, the gameplay is enjoyable but may not fully capitalize on its potential.

The story in the game is described as enjoyable but somewhat generic, with missions feeling randomly generated and lacking a clear direction. Players engage in story missions for three companies, which progress their respective storylines, but the repetitive nature of missions can lead to a sense of aimlessness. Despite these criticisms, the overall experience is fun, with engaging characters and a lighthearted tone.
“I can't help but crack a smile every time a character pops up on the screen or during mission briefings.”
“Basically, there are story missions you do for one of the 3 companies in the game, and they progress the story bar for the respective company, while decreasing the other 2.”
“Pros: great game, great art, great music, fun story”
