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 face renewed threats after hibernation. The opening and cutscenes provide substantial background, enhancing the overall experience with unique mission details and opportunities for cooperative play.
- “The opening and cut scenes share a lot of information, 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 story is simple enough: a bunch of probes were dropped to decontaminate the planet from something.”
- “Also, the mission/campaign is well thought out to get sucked into the story.”

The music aspect received mixed reviews, with users appreciating the presence of audio controls but criticizing the limited options available in some games, such as "Buckshot Roulette," which only offers basic sound level and music play/pause controls. In contrast, games like "Minecraft" are praised for their comprehensive audio settings. Additionally, the quality settings are deemed insufficient, as they can only be accessed from the launcher and offer limited choices.
- “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 enhances the overall experience, making it more immersive and enjoyable.”
- “I appreciate the variety of tracks available, as they add depth and excitement to the gameplay.”
- “The audio controls are really good to have for any game, but it's frustrating that 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 for audio controls are decent, the lack of quality settings within the game itself is disappointing. You can only access them from the launcher screen, and there are only three options available.”
- “The music aspect of the game feels very limited. Compared to other games like Minecraft, which has detailed audio controls for every sound, this game falls short with its minimal options.”
