The story mode is generally viewed as simplistic and somewhat generic, with many players noting its short length and unresolved ending, leading to a feeling of incompleteness. While the art and writing are considered adequate, the lack of character progression and repetitive gameplay detract from the overall experience. Some players express hope for future content to expand the narrative, but current feedback indicates a need for more depth and engagement in the storytelling.

“The game really struggles with any sense of progression, dumping 90% of everything you'll ever see on you within the first few story fights, and the story is very plainly written.”
