While some players appreciate the basic premise, they feel the narrative lacks depth and clarity, often leaving them confused about the plot. Overall, the story serves more as a backdrop to the gameplay rather than a compelling element, with many players noting that it could have been executed better.
- “The basic idea of the game is quite simple and effective; we feel that the goal is to make the player play while trying to integrate a story that will not slow you down in your gameplay!”

- “Along with the two DLCs, the game can easily be completed 100% within three hours, as the story is very short.”

- “Partner it with terrible graphics and audio and you have a match made in hell.”
- “This game remains free while giving you a short hour of gameplay but unfortunately better free games are present on the store with better gameplay, graphics, sounds and options!”
