    The story in this game provides a solid framework with missions and side quests that add a sense of progress, especially notable for a small development team. However, once the player becomes overpowered, the repeated long story ending after each boss fight can feel tedious. Overall, the narrative effort is commendable and complements the gameplay well.

    • “Side quests are decent enough and overall, this game comes across as a huge polished effort from a team of just two people.”
    • “Extra points to the developers for making a space bug survivor-like game that has a story.”
    • “But once you are overpowered, you have to repeat the long story ending every time you beat the end boss.”
    • “It's worth mentioning in this review that I did manage to get through the story and unlock all meta progression in the time I've played, so I could still play more for achievements... but maybe I was able to get through the content more easily because I overplayed the demo and knew how the game worked going into it.”
    • “The story has you reach a few side quests for an additional sense of progress, which is good.”

    • “The performance is terrible at high levels, so it still needs some work to fix that.”
    • “I recommend this game but it is currently bugged and suffers major performance issues.”
