The game's story has been criticized for being incomplete and poorly executed, with many missions labeled as "coming soon" despite claims of a full release. Players find the narrative confusing and lacking in depth, describing it as lazy and filled with recycled elements. Overall, while some see potential in the story compared to other titles, the writing quality is considered mediocre, leaving many feeling disappointed.
- “- The story is better than Zero Caliber, but the writing is still pretty mid.”
- “My only big negative for the game is the claim of full release yet only offers a few missions having others labeled as 'coming soon' while Xreal takes time to deliver, they always do.”
- “Recycled enemies and lazy story.”
- “I think you should get it, but the story elements are really weird, and it's hard to actually understand what's happening.”
- “Embarrassing. Xreal, stop making games. I wanted to give this a shot, but when you claim this is a full game and not early access, yet have a whole bunch of the story labeled as 'coming soon', it feels like a lie. This game is extremely bare bones; stay far away.”
