The story is described as more focused and accessible than in previous installments, centering on the "mechanical messiah" and the "emperor" faction, but it suffers from a lack of player involvement and clarity, leading to confusion. While the narrative is presented through 24 mixed campaign missions, many players find the mission design bland or frustrating, with some scenarios feeling insurmountable. Overall, the storytelling is seen as inferior to earlier games, despite some improvements and a more interesting plot.
“Perimeter provides excellent story, an interesting and unique world, and fun mechanics all wrapped up into a game with far more flexibility than the average RTS.”
“It adds a fantastic new story arc and some new gameplay mechanics to keep you going.”
“The game story will be completed in 24 mixed campaign missions, so the missions are not organized as separate factions but like one story.”
“The story is, well, utterly incomprehensible, and I say that having actually understood the majority of the story of the first game.”
“But at the same time this is just more of the same and the storytelling is just inferior, despite being more accessible.”
“Gameplay options are limited by the story, and are sacrificed to make the levels into puzzles.”
