The story aspect of the game is criticized for lacking depth and structure, as it is limited to short, unengaging platform sequences without a cohesive campaign or objectives. Reviewers feel that a more developed narrative could elevate the experience significantly, but as it stands, the game fails to deliver a compelling story.
- “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.”
