The story aspect of the game is criticized for lacking depth and structure, as it features only brief, disconnected platforming sequences rather than a cohesive campaign with a compelling narrative. Reviewers feel that a more developed story could elevate the gameplay significantly, but as it stands, the experience is deemed unsatisfactory.
- “This would be a badass Mirror's Edge-style story-driven parkour game, but it's limited to minute-long series of platforms that honestly make for bad levels in general.”
- “If there was a campaign with a story and an actual objective, it would be a badass game, but for now, it's not worth playing even if it was free.”
