The story aspect of the game is criticized for lacking depth, particularly due to the absence of mission briefings and interactions with key characters like the kage, which could enhance the experience for new players.

- “It would be great to have more dialogue with the Kage before missions to help new players understand the story better.”

Players criticize the grinding aspect of the game, noting that recent updates have shifted focus from teamwork and collaboration within clans and crews to a competitive environment that encourages spending money on gambling events. This has led to frustration as the emphasis on financial investment undermines the intended cooperative experience.
- “Every new update introduces a new gambling event, and the clan and crew system is horrible. Instead of fostering coordination and grinding among clan or crew members, it has become a competition to see who can spend more money.”
