The story aspect of the game has received criticism for its lack of direction and guidance, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences. Players find missions, such as the zodd mission, to be tedious and poorly structured, with unnecessary exploration elements that detract from the overall narrative flow. Additionally, the small inventory size exacerbates these issues, as players quickly become overwhelmed with items while struggling to progress.

- “In particular, the Zodd mission has a main chamber that requires 3 keys to pass a locked door.”
- “When I started the first mission of the game, I was not impressed at all with the interaction of my attacks and the handful of mobs I needed to fight.”
