The game's story is minimal, with many players noting a lack of cutscenes and narrative depth, which may be a positive or negative depending on personal preference. While there are numerous co-op missions across various planets that provide enjoyable gameplay, the overall storytelling is considered non-existent, making solo play challenging.

“The story is... non-existent (good or bad that is on you to decide, but I have no qualms with it).”
“Lots of missions and different planets to play though.”
“The storytelling is lacking, with cutscenes that fail to engage.”
“The story is... non-existent (good or bad, that is up to you to decide, but I have no qualms with it).”
“Each mission takes about one minute, which doesn't allow for any meaningful narrative development.”

The graphics feature a straightforward 80's aesthetic that effectively fulfills its purpose, though they lack any standout elements or additional depth. Overall, they are functional but not particularly memorable.
“The audio and visuals have a straightforward 80's vibe that does the job pretty well, but aside from that, there's nothing much to remark on and they don't leave much to be desired.”
