The story of the game is generally well-received, with a solid plot that feels complete, though some players noted that the ending could be improved and certain boss characters felt randomly placed. The inclusion of suspenseful missions, like the dolls mission, adds depth, but the overall narrative could benefit from better integration of its elements. Despite some frustrations with repetitive mission prompts, the game offers a variety of missions and settings that contribute to an engaging experience.
“The plot is 4.5/5; it could have been put together better, with the ending being okay.”
“The bosses were great; not the best story-fit characters, but the dolls mission added some well-needed suspense after taking down the dragon.”
“Fun game, tons of missions, cities, and awesome wars!”
“It's a bit annoying when the game repeats information you already know during missions.”
“The only difference between this game and Zynga's Mafia Wars is that stamina is used for missions, while energy is used for fighting other players.”
“Mobile games should not be ported to Steam; I wasted enough of my time on this game.”
