The game's story is generally considered short and simplistic, often described as cliché and lacking depth, with many players completing it in just a few hours. While some appreciate the humor and engaging characters, others find the narrative repetitive and underdeveloped, especially in comparison to the more expansive content available in mobile versions. Overall, the story serves as a backdrop to the gameplay, which focuses more on exploration, trading, and combat rather than a compelling narrative.

- “What sets Galaxy on Fire 2 apart is its rich and captivating storyline.”
- “It's a testament to the game's immersive storytelling that you'll find yourself genuinely invested in the characters and their fates.”
- “The main story is extremely plain and short; the dialogues are goofy, and the lounge missions are as repetitive as they can get with the simple random mission generator the game has.”
- “The story itself is unfortunately very short, and the various activities quite shallow, but it's enjoyable enough to sink 5-10 hours into.”
- “The main storyline is only 1-2 hours long, and the plot isn't the most original ever devised, and the alien races could use a little more fleshing out.”

- “No replayability (even if you farm the very best ship with the very best equipment, the enemies do not scale with you).”
