The game's story revolves around a drug lord who is betrayed and must navigate the law, but many players find it underdeveloped and poorly integrated into the gameplay. While some appreciate the basic premise and the potential for engaging moments, the execution leaves much to be desired, often leading to confusion and a lack of clarity. Overall, the narrative feels secondary to the gameplay, which may appeal to those who prioritize action over story depth.
“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!”
“The story goes as such: you play as a drug lord that gets backstabbed by his own men, arrested, and forced to deal with the law himself.”
“However, if you're looking for a gripping story with something new happening all the time, this is the game for you.”
“And it even comes to disturb the loading of autosaves, because you will appear off the map... the story is present but perhaps not developed enough and poorly presented.”
“It's true that here we can say that we don't care about the story but we end up not really understanding what's going on at times...”
“The gameplay is searching for keys while shooting cops, inmates, and drug dealers. The story isn't the best one, and it isn't explained that well.”

The music in the game has been criticized for being poorly implemented, with background tracks that appear abruptly at high volumes and lack coherence, detracting from the overall experience. Users describe the sound design as outdated and unpleasant, with odd reloading noises and a general absence of consistent musical accompaniment. While some appreciate the potential for a captivating soundtrack, the execution leaves much to be desired, making it feel cheap and disjointed.
“For a game released in 2019, most aspects of the game are really outdated... the sound in the game is not really pleasant... the reloading noises are really weird and you don't really have any background music, except for one that appears without warning, with a really loud volume and for only a few seconds without any real reason... a simple music track long enough and well gauged in terms of volume can be totally sufficient for a level!”
“Both sounds and music are horrible and cheap sounding.”
“Regain your crime status in style with thrilling gameplay and artful level design, all backed by a dissonant, sparse, and captivating soundtrack.”
