The game's story, centered around the infamous Hatfield and McCoy feud, is generally well-received for its thematic depth and character development, though some players find its execution lacking, particularly in terms of presentation and mission variety. While the narrative offers a gritty western atmosphere and unique character arcs, many reviews note that the gameplay often devolves into repetitive combat scenarios, detracting from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, players appreciate the story mode's immersive qualities and the additional replay value provided by the saga mode.

Overall, the game offers high replayability due to its randomized starting positions, diverse maps, and a combination of story and 4x-style modes.
