    The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many users noting a lack of a compelling narrative or backstory, rendering the campaign feel incomplete and unengaging.

Many feel that the developers have abandoned the game, leading to a perception of it being a half-hearted effort aimed solely at profit.
