The story in "Space Mercenary Shooter: Episode 2" is noted to be minimal and lacks depth, similar to its predecessor, while the gameplay has improved with bug fixes and the introduction of new weapons. Overall, the narrative remains underdeveloped, focusing more on gameplay mechanics than storytelling.
- “The second episode of the space mercenary shooter is shorter than the first and still lacks a real story. While they did fix most of the bugs, much of the content feels like a copy and paste, and the introduction of more than three weapons doesn't compensate for the narrative shortcomings.”
