The story mode received a low rating, with users expressing frustration over its abruptness and lack of depth, as well as issues with the tutorial that fails to adequately teach essential techniques before returning to the main menu.
“After a few minutes, I quit playing story mode. I noticed that during the tutorial, you learn only 3 techniques instead of the 5 that were promised. Then it suddenly stops, and I get sent back to the main menu with the settings still on full volume, once again blowing my ears out.”
