The story of the game is largely criticized for being uninspired and poorly executed, with players struggling to understand the plot due to numerous glitches and technical issues. The narrative revolves around a low-grade robot named Lapya on a quest to make the surface habitable, but it fails to stand out from other shooters and lacks depth. Overall, the combination of a weak storyline and gameplay problems detracts significantly from the player's experience.
“Play as Lapya, a low-grade robot on a quest which I assume is to make the surface habitable again, as the only thing that the game gives the player in terms of its objectives is a quote stating that its goal is to 'keep their sun shining.'”
“But leaving the usual 'crappy Unity game' cliché aside, 'Lapya' does at least carry a few merits that make it not as bad as its uglier siblings, like offering different perspectives to play in, a functional quest log, and even a companion that tags along with you.”
“And the dystopian future storyline where all the minorities of the world rise up and run robots and white people underground.”
“Didn't care for the story; not that I really understood what was going on.”
“As far as the story and world goes, I'm afraid I didn't get to see much.”
“Now the plot itself is clearly uninspired, and the game doesn't stand out from other standard shooters with similar storylines.”
