The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with minimal backstory and insufficient explanations of game elements like critters and weapons. Players experience inconsistent damage mechanics that detract from immersion, highlighting a need for a more engaging narrative framework. Overall, the storytelling feels underdeveloped and fails to enhance the gameplay experience.

- “The third time, oddly they all took damage just fine, but this strange erratic toughness seems to have infected the rest of the game as well, as I tried to play the first real mission and some would die, while others, far too frequently, would get to the end nearly undamaged despite being shot repeatedly.”
