The story, while not perfectly translated and featuring subpar voice acting, is enriched by Turkish values and perspectives on life and politics, adding depth to the overall narrative. Despite its flaws, many players find it to be an epic experience worth recommending.
“I must say, Turkish values and their perspective on life and politics really make the story more than the sum of its parts.”

Players find the humor in the game to be both poignant and absurd, often eliciting strong emotional reactions that blend laughter and tears, reminiscent of the notorious "Ride to Hell: Retribution." This unique blend of comedy and tragedy creates a memorable experience that resonates deeply with players.
