The story aspect of the game is minimal, primarily revolving around completing missions to earn points, with a mechanic that allows players to continue their missions even after a rebirth, starting from wave 1. Overall, the narrative seems to be underdeveloped, as indicated by mixed user feedback.
“We have some missions, and with that, we can get points.”
“Don't worry, you can still finish your mission after reborn, but the wave is beginning at 1.”

The graphics are generally decent, featuring some tweaks, but many users have noted that a significant portion of the game assets appear to be asset flipped from the Unreal Asset Store, a claim confirmed by the developer.
“There are a few graphics tweaks and decent enough visuals, although it does look and feel like a lot of the game assets are asset flipped from the Unreal Asset Store (edit: the developer has confirmed this is using flipped assets from the asset store).”

The monetization strategy of the game is criticized as a deceptive cash grab, with users feeling misled into purchasing an incomplete product. Additionally, there are complaints about excessive advertising and the developer's acknowledgment of the game's numerous shortcomings, including the use of recycled assets and missing features.
“This comes across as an attempt to mislead gamers into paying for an incomplete game, and is essentially a cash grab.”
“The developer then goes on to spam advertising for this train wreck of a game, with additional admissions of guilt including acknowledgment that the game is full of flipped assets and that it's missing features (so why call it complete?).”
