The game's story aspect is criticized for lacking depth and coherence, with many players expressing frustration over mandatory special missions that detract from the main gameplay experience. Users report frequent glitches, crashes, and an overwhelming number of ads that disrupt immersion, leading to a perception of the game as tedious and poorly designed. While some players find enjoyment in the action-packed missions, the overall narrative and progression feel underdeveloped and repetitive.

“I like this game but how do you get the last two locks unlocked? Needs to be more of a story involved; I think that would make it a five-star game.”
“Absolute garbage game stuffed full of ads that crash the game, cheating you out of progress with fake options to watch an ad for a revive that deliberately crashes the game, making you replay the same mission multiple times so that the game can bombard you with more spam ads. In short, this is a rubbish game; don't waste your time on it.”
“It's slow-paced, has no action, and doesn't even have a storyline. The graphics are horrible.”
“I don't like the special missions like 'catapult madness' being forced on me.”

Players express mixed emotions regarding the game's humor and choices, with some feeling frustrated by forced comedic elements, such as using "kitty ammo" and being assigned specific attire without options. While the game may appeal to younger audiences, it can detract from the enjoyment for others who prefer a different tone or more agency in their gameplay experience.
“I am far from an outwardly emotional or sensitive person, but I was genuinely upset when I was forced to use kitty ammo during the game. I understand that it might be funny to some, but I would have preferred not to be part of that type of comedy. It was disappointing because I was actually enjoying myself before that moment.”
