The game's story is considered underwhelming, with a lack of depth in characters and poor English translation, which detracts from the overall experience. While it features a structured narrative with six main missions and side quests that influence gameplay, the execution, including low-effort cutscenes and absence of voice acting, leaves much to be desired. Despite these shortcomings, the story provides a framework for varied mission types, keeping gameplay engaging.
- “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.”
- “The story and characters could use some more spice, but it doesn't affect the gameplay.”
- “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.”
