The game's story aspect is characterized by a sandbox environment where players can engage in trading and missions without a central narrative, allowing for strategic freedom in gameplay. Players can choose to accept various missions, such as delivering cargo or collecting items, while also navigating a market system to build wealth. Although there is no overarching storyline, the mission descriptions provide valuable insights, enhancing the overall experience.
“While grabbing the missions, the descriptions were very insightful.”
“There's a small learning curve, but once you try a couple of missions and get familiar with the market system, it becomes pretty easy and straightforward to start building your wealth.”
“Due to the 'sandbox' nature of the game, there isn't an overall mission (or at least I didn't find one), so it's up to the player to figure out how they want to spend their time.”
“Also, don't be fooled like me thinking 'story mode' is disabled in the demo but available in the full game.”
“The game has either missions or the market to play.”
