The story in the game is straightforward, primarily revolving around completing missions that often involve destruction or retrieval tasks, such as searching for a downed president. Players progress through missions that unlock progressively, with a focus on high scores and competition reminiscent of classic arcade games. While the narrative is minimal, it serves as a backdrop for the gameplay mechanics rather than a central element.
