The story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, though some players find it underwhelming. While it features a believable narrative and good level design, the gameplay mechanics can hinder the experience, making combat feel frustrating and clunky. Overall, it draws comparisons to "Hotline Miami" but lacks the same level of engagement.
- “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, neither with shurikens nor the sword (which won't work if you're close to a wall, which always happens).”
