The game's story is present but not a central focus, with players noting that it resembles an arcade-style narrative rather than a deep role-playing experience. While there is potential for future expansions, particularly in terms of thematic elements like ninja or lightsaber action, the primary emphasis appears to be on gameplay rather than storytelling.
“This game still has room to grow beyond the arcade storyline – and they could eventually even have a level of future ninja, for those still craving lightsaber actions.”
“I got to later missions and it's insane.”
“The game has a story, but it's not the focal point, and it's pretty obvious where the developers' priorities were.”
“This game still has room to grow beyond the arcade storyline – they could eventually even have a level of future ninja for those still craving lightsaber action.”
