The game's story aspect is heavily criticized for its frustrating and often impossible mission requirements, which frequently necessitate specific weapons that players cannot obtain without spending real money. Many users express dissatisfaction with the difficulty of missions, particularly those that require defeating a high number of enemies or collecting coins in a single game, leading to a sense of being stuck and unable to progress. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, the mission structure detracts significantly from the experience, with calls for a more balanced and accessible approach to mission design.
- “Best game which has a good scenery and aesthetics in this genre but sometimes it feels like if there was a good story to follow it would have been more enjoyable.”
- “This game is fun but all the missions are possible and impossible this game is stressful to I feel like the enemy is the player and how can a fist slice a body.”
- “Great game but can you add new things like a death match or betting on fights, playing against your friends, going on quests to defeat thieves to get like reward or something.”
- “The game gives you an unskippable mission to get kills with a certain type of weapon and then will never give you that weapon.”
- “It's impossible I reached the second boss but died so I had to restart and one of the missions was to kill people with a one-handed sword and the white belt gives you nothing, no sword, no nothing.”

- “It's paid to play and it's hard to do. Don't play it unless you have a lot of money; it just begs for you to watch ads and pay money.”
