The story revolves around a classic theme of "plucky rebels fighting an evil corporation," but players express a desire for a more engaging narrative and campaign focus rather than the current roguelike structure. While the game offers secondary objectives for reputation, the lack of clear rewards and mechanics diminishes their appeal. Additionally, the cooperative gameplay mechanics can be frustrating, as any player's death results in mission failure, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “The core loop is that you have time in between missions that you can spend on different options.”
- “You may also choose to assist the locals for an increase to your reputation with them, or in some instances even get rewarded for your reputation via an ammo resupply or an additional tune-up for the next mission.”
- “The plot is, say it with me, 'plucky rebels fight evil corporation.'”
- “There might be thrilling gameplay here, but if there is, it's buried under bad UI, unexplained mechanics, unexplained mission parameters, and vague instructions and tutorial messages that can only be closed by clicking 'skip,' which seems counter-productive for a tutorial.”
- “Wish it was more campaign-focused with a cheesy story and bad voice acting rather than a roguelike, but hard to complain when it's free, with co-op no less.”
