The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of originality and inspiration, with players noting repetitive mission design and identical building layouts. While there are 10 missions, the last three suffer from significant technical issues, such as broken ground textures that hinder visibility and gameplay. Overall, the narrative experience feels underwhelming and marred by bugs, detracting from player immersion.
- “But enemy mortar fire has been constant, and I refused to sleep in the abandoned three-story building we parked next to.”
- “I only completed the first mission, but that is enough to see how uninspired the game is.”
- “There were 4 identical copies of a multistory building and a few identical copies of a smaller building with 1 room; that's already all of the buildings that can be entered.”
- “Achievements are all broken, even simple ones like 'start a mission' won't unlock.”
