The story aspect of the game is minimal, featuring only three missions and three arena fights, but players find the gameplay enjoyable and rewarding, with opportunities to unlock weapons and upgrades through replaying missions at higher difficulties. While the content is limited, it is considered fun and reasonably priced, though some players suggest a slight price adjustment. Overall, the focus is on gameplay mechanics rather than a deep narrative.
“You only get 3 missions and 3 arena fights, so there isn't a lot in terms of missions to do, but what it does give is fun and it is priced accordingly, though I think it should be right around $8-10.”
