The game's story is criticized for being cliché and lacking depth, with a loose plot that fails to engage players despite offering multiple endings and mission choices. While some players found enjoyment in the gameplay mechanics and the moral themes, the overall narrative is seen as mediocre, with underdeveloped characters and a simplistic motive of crime-fighting. The short length of the game, consisting of only a few main quests, further detracts from the storytelling experience.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “It won't take more than 2-3 hours per game, but there are multiple endings and more missions than you can play in one sitting, so if you want to see/unlock everything, you'll run through it a few times.”
- “Excellent short story and overall very fun game.”
- “The story surrounding the game is so cliché that it disappointed me a lot; I was expecting more.”
- “The plot is a loose, somewhat context-less string of happenings wherein your characters shoot a billionaire in the head because he's trying to be a vigilante.”
- “The story is mediocre, with none of the characters having any kind of backstory and the best motive being 'clean up the city of crime.'”

The gameplay has been criticized for its repetitiveness and reliance on basic combat mechanics, with many players finding it unoriginal and derivative of previous titles from the same developers. Issues such as poor controls and lackluster graphics detract from the experience, while resource management and scripted encounters limit player agency. Overall, while some appreciate the balanced difficulty, many feel it falls short compared to other games in the genre.
- “I liked the balanced gameplay of the game, but for me, who has played other games from the same developers, this game was not one of the best.”
- “Any other gameplay comes in the form of balancing the difficulty curve with resource management in a game where you cannot actually generate encounters at will and are completely handheld by scripting to distribute experience and loot.”
- “The gameplay tends to become repetitive after a while, and the most effective strategy is just shooting everyone. With bullets being dirt cheap and most guns having a shoot-all skill, it quickly shows itself as the overpowered method.”
