The game's story is generally considered simple and unremarkable, often overshadowed by repetitive gameplay and technical issues. While some players appreciate the attempt at a unique zombie outbreak narrative, many find the plot irrelevant and forgettable, serving primarily as a backdrop for the action. Overall, the story is seen as a minor aspect of the experience, with players more focused on the frantic gameplay and mission objectives.

“Good, compelling story.”
“It has a cool story narrative and mini-achievements in each level, which can be played over until all of them have been achieved.”
“The story is totally lame and not important, just skip it.”
“I am going to be honest, I lost track of the story about halfway through - the game does a really bad job of explaining what is going on, it's all in sort of a PowerPoint presentation show in between each level, and offers no clues on what is actually happening.”
“There is no story apart from some pictures with boring text (humor is unfunny too), missions are bite-sized with grind-based progression.”
