The game's story mode is praised for its engaging single-player campaign and cooperative missions, offering a variety of gameplay options. However, some players find the narrative uninspired and criticize the repetitive nature of missions and excessive interaction with NPCs, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “But still very good game and the story mode is amazing!”
- “Single player campaign, 2-player co-op missions or brawler for up to 4 local players/bots (split-screen).”
- “Looks like something inspired by Naruto; the story mode seems okay, but for such a minimalistic game, it requires too much interaction with NPCs, which I don't like.”
- “Each set of four missions requires you to move around in the same location and deal with the same enemies, usually resulting in having to kill nearly all of them repeatedly.”

The game's graphics have been criticized for their outdated and lackluster 2D visuals, with many reviewers expressing disappointment that the developer has not embraced modern 3D graphics, which have been mainstream since the mid-1990s. Players feel that investing in high-end gaming hardware should offer more than just 2D experiences, especially when even mobile devices can handle 3D graphics.
- “The game features really lackluster 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?).”
- “Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games.”
- “Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now.”

- “The 'pick up shurikens' and rope swing mechanics didn't add anything to the old, stale, dead, and boring platformer game focus.”
