The story aspect of the game is criticized for its frustrating progression system, where failing missions leads to an inability to select normal missions, effectively rendering the game unplayable. Players express disappointment over the lack of clarity regarding mission objectives and the impact of technological advancements, which hampers their ability to progress and enjoy the narrative. Overall, the story is perceived as hindered by restrictive gameplay mechanics that detract from the experience.
- “Once you complete the three tutorial missions, pass or fail, the game becomes unplayable.”
- “I really want to like this, but there seems to be no way to get past the first few missions and no clues as to what the tech advances do.”
- “If you fail the first mission, it continues to give you harder missions and is impossible to progress since you never gain any 'space coins'.”
