The story aspect of the game is perceived as having potential, but is hindered by significant technical issues, particularly related to mission accessibility and network requirements. Players express frustration over being unable to engage with missions and achievements, which detracts from the overall experience. While the retro style is appreciated, the execution of the mission system and level design leaves much to be desired.

- “The mission part of the game has potential, but the manager part is just a mess...”
