The story is generally perceived as mediocre, with some players noting a moral about perseverance despite challenges. While it features a believable narrative and good level design, the gameplay mechanics, particularly the clunky controls, detract from the overall experience. Comparisons to "Hotline Miami" suggest a familiar but less engaging storyline.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “This game is definitely a Hotline Miami clone, has a believable story, good level design.”
- “The story is meh, too.”
- “You start every mission with punches, shurikens, and a sword, but because of clunky commands, you'll never be able to hit anything with either the shurikens or the sword (which won't work if you're close to a wall, which always happens).”
