The game's story is described as a lighthearted and humorous narrative, primarily revolving around a grandfather recounting his adventures, reminiscent of "Call of Juarez: Gunslinger."

- “A fun but short wave shooter with a story that is reminiscent of Call of Juarez: Gunslinger.”
- “The story stuff might not matter much in the grand scheme, but it has a good sense of humor and a little bit of a Call of Juarez vibe with a lot more fluff and a lot less edge in comparison.”

- “You get a story, you got a start menu, then you shoot a lot of dudes at one spot while someone is narrating to their grandkid, then it ends.”
