The game's story is criticized for being a bland and cheesy propaganda piece, lacking depth and engagement, particularly during lengthy training phases. While some players appreciate its goofy elements and express a desire for more side missions, they also hope for increased mission complexity and tactical options in the full version. Overall, the narrative feels underdeveloped, with players eager for a more dynamic and immersive experience.
- “The story is also kinda goofy, but in a good way.”
- “I loved the training aspect before the actual mission/operation starts.”
- “Overall, I had a ton of fun and I am looking forward to more missions.”
- “The weakest point right now is that training phases between missions are long and not engaging.”
- “It's hard to judge what the full release will be like based on the mission we got here.”
- “I do like it, but I think I had envisioned a larger scale PMC than it is from the impression I got from their videos. I want to be able to send units off on quick missions and into limited intel scenarios because I didn't prepare properly. This one, several weeks of preparing for a single operation, makes it feel a bit tiresome. After a few weeks, you just want to get in and do the actual mission already.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring interesting mechanics and a core loop focused on planning and executing operations, though some players noted a lack of depth in training mechanics and occasional bugs. While the gameplay can feel slow at times, it remains enjoyable and engaging, despite criticisms of the story's quality. Overall, players appreciate the depth and variety of gameplay, even if some aspects could be improved.
- “Fun game with interesting mechanics.”
- “Great gameplay.”
- “The training mechanics need to be more involved somehow.”
- “Gameplay in 80% consists of raising people's stats.”

- “To me, the inconsistency in artwork causes a bigger problem.”
