The music in the game is often overshadowed by gunfire, making it difficult to appreciate, and when audible, it fails to deliver an engaging experience.
“The music is too easily drowned out by the sounds of gunfire, and even when you can hear it, it isn't very exciting.”

The story in the game is perceived as lacking depth and clarity, leaving players confused about the motivations and context behind their actions. While expectations for a complex narrative may be low in a pedestal-shooter genre, the absence of any coherent plot detracts from the overall experience.
“I don't really expect a deep plot from a pedestal shooter game, but I have no idea what I'm shooting at or why.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks any real emotional impact, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“Character motivations are poorly developed, leaving me confused about their actions throughout the game.”
