The story is centered around a mission to decontaminate a planet, with players engaging in a campaign that is well-structured and immersive. While the narrative lacks a definitive ending, it effectively sets up ongoing challenges as players wake from hibernation to find their headquarters under attack. The opening and cutscenes provide substantial background, enhancing the overall experience with unique mission details and cooperative gameplay options.
- “The opening and cut scenes share a lot of info, and the details behind the missions are unique.”
- “Other users are saying 'complete' like this because there is technically no ending; you decontaminate the crater you're in, then go into hibernation (I'm assuming this is what the story will do), then wake up some time later to find the enemies have started to actively attack your HQ, along with having 'contaminated' the crater once again.”

The music aspect of the game received mixed reviews, with users appreciating the presence of audio controls but criticizing the limited options available, particularly in "Buckshot Roulette," which only offers basic sound level and music play/pause controls. Additionally, the quality settings are deemed insufficient, as they can only be adjusted from the launcher and offer only three options. Overall, while the audio controls are a positive feature, the lack of depth in customization detracts from the experience.
- “The audio controls are really good to have for any game; they should be standard for all games to have individual controls for the various audio elements.”
- “The music in the game adds a unique atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.”
- “I love how the soundtrack perfectly complements the gameplay, making every moment feel more immersive.”
- “The audio controls are really good to have for any game, but Buckshot Roulette only has two audio controls: sound level and music play/pause. There are no other controls, and it's not fun on the ears.”
- “While the settings are decent, the music quality is lacking, and the limited audio options make it frustrating to enjoy the game.”
- “The music aspect feels underdeveloped, especially when compared to other games that offer more comprehensive audio controls.”
