The story in the game is considered underwhelming, with a lack of depth in characters and poor English translation, which detracts from the overall experience. While there are only six main missions available in early access, players can engage in side missions that add variety and impact character development. The gameplay is structured around mission restarts upon failure, and although the narrative is basic, it provides a framework for diverse mission objectives.
- “It's still early access, so there are only 6 story missions yet, but there are side missions up for grabs!”
- “You will learn more about each character and its background story.”
- “Sometimes you need to rescue someone, other times you need to defend something, then you need to get something, etc. Thanks to the story, the game offers varied missions.”
- “And the English translation/story is atrocious.”
- “No voice acting (currently?) and cut-scenes seem low-effort, which makes me lose interest in the story.”
- “There are a few rudimentary cutscenes before story missions.”
