The story in the game is criticized for its slow progression and repetitive nature, with missions feeling tedious and lacking depth. Players note the absence of voice acting and the presence of unskippable cutscenes, which detracts from the experience. Overall, the narrative is described as a shallow cash grab, heavily reliant on microtransactions and repetitive gameplay, leaving little room for engaging storytelling.
- “There is a decent enough storyline that also provides challenges as well as a pretty good player base, squads, and special events regularly that (along with log-in bonuses) are pretty generous.”
- “New missions are fun and a bit more challenging.”
- “The missions are cool, and the weapon upgrades are really good.”
- “This game could have been okay if not for the obviously mediocre and slow story progression.”
- “The bosses are a joke and feel like re-skinned normal enemies rather than bosses, so the main story is terrible and makes you buy the newest weapons to do the mission and upgrade them.”
- “In the end, this game is a horrendous pay-to-win cash grab with an empty, self-repeating story repeated and re-skinned across 20 zones with just the background of it changing.”

Many express a desire for a reworked grinding mechanic that would make the game more enjoyable without the need for additional purchases.
