The game's story is criticized for being extremely short and lacking depth, with many players noting that the "story mode" essentially consists of repetitive single missions without significant narrative progression. While there are elements like a prologue and epilogue, the overall experience is described as lackluster, with unskippable dialogue and a confusing gameplay structure that detracts from any potential storytelling. Many reviewers express a desire for a more developed and engaging story to enhance the gameplay experience.
“The game has 3 modes: story mode, single player, and couch play.”
“Story mode is single player with you playing as the human and the enemy playing as the orc, with an addition in prologue and epilogue.”
“If the game developer team makes story mode longer and has more stages, that would be fantastic.”
“The game is very short, there is no real story or campaign, and a typical match lasts anywhere between a few minutes and up to half an hour, with all achievements unlocked in about two hours.”
“I really wouldn't recommend this game to anyone; the story is lackluster and quick, the gameplay is a little confusing, and there's no tutorial to speak of.”
“Story mode was just one mission for me, and it restarted that same mission over and over again.”

“Looks like it could be a pretty interesting strategy game, but it really needs to expose information and game state in a more visual way, and explain the mechanics in a much better way.”

The game's replayability is mixed; while it offers multiplayer options that enhance replay value, many players find the single-player experience shallow and repetitive, particularly due to a lengthy, unskippable intro. Overall, it may provide some enjoyment in multiplayer settings, but it lacks depth for sustained solo play.
“Infinitely replayable in multiplayer.”
“Replayability is much improved when playing against a person.”
“It's a fun puzzle; once understood and solved, it yields the same value in replayability as a solved Sudoku (okay, maybe a bit more, but it's not far off).”
“Also, for such a short and allegedly replayable game, it has a really long intro that can't be skipped.”
“It's a fun puzzle, once understood and solved yields the same value (or replayability) as a solved sudoku (ok, maybe a bit more but it's not far off).”
“Overall, it's too shallow to be replayable, and even before it gets boring, it's still only decent.”
