The story aspect of the game appears to be lacking, as players express frustration with the first mission's design, which leads to repetitive and unengaging gameplay due to constant enemy stuns and limited options for progression. This has left some players disheartened and hesitant to continue exploring the narrative.
- “I might try another mission and see if it's any different, but this sort of thing leaves me not wanting to do so.”
- “Something to be aware of for buyers, the 1st mission doesn't let you summon reinforcements.”
- “Not sure on this one, basically played the first mission and trying to move to the other side of the map, but instead get surrounded by enemies who constantly stun your units, so you just sit there trying to roll 6's for every unit so you can actually do something else the next turn, only to have them stunned again on the enemy turn, repeat until you lose.”
