The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of character development and abrupt introductions, making it difficult for players to engage with the narrative. While the core story concept and variety of opponents are appreciated, the progression system is deemed frustrating and tedious, requiring players to replay the story multiple times to achieve certain goals. Overall, the story mode is described as short, uninteresting, and lacking personality, leading to a disappointing experience for many players.
“The story itself is engaging, and the variation between opponents and teams adds a unique touch to the gameplay.”
“The challenges you can complete during the story mode provide an interesting layer to the experience.”
“While the story mode is quite short, it does offer a glimpse into the game's potential with its character interactions and match dynamics.”
“Regardless, since I don't know much about the characters as the game really just assumed I did with their quick and abrupt introductions, I couldn't really enjoy the story. The core gameplay is alright, but there are a few control issues for keyboard users.”
“There is barely anything that makes me want to continue playing, and if I wasn't such an achievement hunter, I'd have given up. I have to play through the story a few more times for the stars. Even at £4, this isn't a great game. I'd go as far as saying you shouldn't even really pick it up in a sale unless it's really cheap and you don't get frustrated easily.”
“This game, with its hard-coded 'push the [A] button on your gamepad' pop-ups, non-rebindable keyboard controls, thirty seconds of unskippable developer credits at the start of each launch, GUIs that don't recognize mouse input, tedious and thoroughly uninteresting 'story mode' (literally nothing more than matches against progressively harder teams), wretched music, and a bland lack of personality wherever you look - is not it.”
