The game lacks a compelling story, leading to a repetitive experience where players simply progress through levels by defeating enemies, which can become monotonous for those not interested in speedrunning.
“If you don't want to speedrun, this game probably gets old quickly because there is no story, and every level requires you to go up a bit, kill all enemies, and that's it.”
“The narrative feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged with the characters or their motivations.”
“I found the plot to be predictable and uninspired, which really detracted from my overall enjoyment of the game.”
