The story is perceived as minimal and lacking depth, with only four main missions and a few additional modes that do not significantly enhance the narrative experience. While some players appreciate the underlying moral about perseverance, the overall execution is criticized for being forgettable and uninspired.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“The campaign has very low content; I believe there are only 4 missions, along with survival and speedrun modes.”
“Train Run is a mindless, side-scrolling shooter featuring forgettable enemies, forgettable music, forgettable 'story', and forgettable art.”
