The game's story is criticized for being extremely short and lacking depth, with many players noting that the "story mode" essentially consists of repetitive single missions without significant narrative progression. While there are elements like a prologue and epilogue, the overall experience is marred by unskippable dialogue and a lack of clarity on how to advance the story, leading to frustration among players. Overall, the narrative aspect is seen as underdeveloped and not engaging.
- “The game has 3 modes: story mode, single player, and couch play.”
- “Story mode is single player with you playing as the human and the enemy playing as the orc, with an addition in prologue and epilogue.”
- “If the game developer team makes story mode longer and has more stages, that would be fantastic.”
- “The game is very short; there is no real story or campaign, and a typical match lasts anywhere between a few minutes and up to half an hour, with all achievements unlocked in about two hours.”
- “I really wouldn't recommend this game to anyone; the story is lackluster and quick, the gameplay is a little confusing, and there's no tutorial to speak of.”
- “Story mode was just one mission for me, and it restarted that same mission over and over again.”

- “It's a fun puzzle, once understood and solved yields the same value (or replayability) as a solved sudoku (ok, maybe a bit more but it's not far off).”
