The game's story is generally considered weak and clichéd, primarily revolving around a simple premise of battling aliens to save the universe. While some missions incorporate minimal narrative elements, players express a desire for a more developed storyline and varied mission types, as the current missions are often repetitive and short. Overall, the potential for expansion in both story and gameplay is noted, with hopes for future updates to enhance the experience.
“The game in total is great, it's well worth the money and has so much potential - I seriously hope the devs expand the game, perhaps some more missions, cockpits, maybe exploration and story or multiplayer - coop missions would be awesome.”
