The story of the game is generally viewed as uninspired and poorly executed, with players struggling to understand the plot due to significant glitches and technical issues that hinder gameplay and dialogue. 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, leaving players disappointed with its lack of depth and coherence. Despite some redeeming features, such as different perspectives and a functional quest log, the overall storytelling experience is marred by gameplay frustrations.
- “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.”
