The game's story is largely considered weak and almost nonexistent, revolving around a military character tasked with finding four batteries in a remote location. Players express frustration with the lack of engaging narrative and poor gameplay mechanics, which detract from the overall experience.
“The story is almost entirely nonexistent.”
“The story of the game is that you are this military guy who has a base out in the middle of nowhere.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered subpar for its 2017 release, with limited customization options and issues like the non-functioning 2560x1440 resolution. However, recent updates have improved visual elements by reducing darkness and shader vignette, earning praise from the community. Overall, while the graphics are deemed acceptable, they still fall short of expectations.
“Graphics were improved with less darkness and a smaller shader vignette since the last update, so I give a thumbs up to the dev for listening to its community.”
“The game was made in 2017, so that is no excuse for it having horrible graphics.”
“There's no rebinding of keys, barely any graphic settings, and for some reason 2560x1440 doesn't work, even though it's one of the resolution options.”
