The story mode is limited to just two chapters, which some players found enjoyable but lacking depth. While the gameplay is fun, the absence of a comprehensive story campaign and the need for better player guidance were noted as significant drawbacks. Many hope for an expanded narrative in future updates.

- “It is definitely a function this game needs, as the story is limited at the moment (understandable) and you can play versus a random player, but the victory tastes that much sweeter when you take it from someone you know.”
- “The story only went two chapters deep.”
- “The developers clearly haven't played their own game enough to foresee obvious obstacles, and they can't have spent any time having newcomers walk through the story mode.”
