The game's story is characterized by a series of missions tied to three companies, where completing missions for one company advances its narrative while hindering the others. While players enjoy the engaging characters and fun gameplay, many find the missions to be generic and somewhat repetitive, leading to a directionless feel as the game lacks a clear endpoint despite offering numerous missions. Overall, the story is entertaining but may leave players wanting more depth and variety.
“I can't help but crack a smile every time a character pops up on the screen or during mission briefings.”

“Pros: great game, great art, great music, fun story”
