The game lacks a narrative, focusing instead on gameplay mechanics that emphasize shooting and survival. While this absence of a storyline may disappoint some players, it evokes a nostalgic simplicity reminiscent of classic Atari games.
“The game is also missing any sort of story, leaving the player to simply shoot and survive.”
“While this may miss out on the 'storyline' of the above games, it hits on the increasing difficulty and the play 'til you lose purity of the Atari days.”
