The story is set in a post-apocalyptic city where players take on the role of a gang leader, but many users feel that the backstory does not align with the gameplay, which often feels more chaotic and random. The lack of clarity regarding the gang's actions makes it difficult for players to engage with the narrative, leading to a disjointed experience. Overall, while the premise has potential, the execution leaves players wanting a more cohesive and immersive story.
- “So the story during the game felt more like a street gang.”
- “The bit of backstory we are given just didn't feel consistent with the rest of the story during gameplay.”
- “The backstory is that you are in a post-apocalyptic city duking it out with another warlord.”
- “While yes, you can see feedback at times and maybe keep track of things, it's really hard to get into the 'story' aspect of being a gang leader when I'm not really sure what my gang just did.”

The game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it highly replayable due to randomized elements like equipment, gang member stats, and enemy locations, others feel that the initial playthrough can be tedious, potentially diminishing the desire to replay.
- “It has lots of replayability value as everything from available equipment to gang members' stats to the location of the enemy you're trying to find are randomized at the start of each game. Along with random events happening during each game, it ensures that every time you play, it will always be different from the last time.”
- “May have replay value if the original playthrough doesn't bore you to absolute tears, which it most likely will.”
