The story mode is criticized for its difficulty and length, with players often needing to repeat missions multiple times to progress and unlock new units. Many find the narrative lacking, describing it as an introduction to a larger story rather than a fulfilling experience, and note that the single level design contributes to a sense of monotony. Despite these issues, some players appreciate the challenge and the upgrades available after completing the story.
“It can take you a good 5-10 hours to finally get the hang of it, and once you finish story mode you unlock a ton of stuff.”
“Don't be alarmed if you aren't beating story mode right at the start; you get points at the end of each run that you can spend on different types of upgrades, items, units, and costumes to make your experience better.”
“The only major problem I see with it is its size, especially of the 'main story', which is only one single level.”
“There is only one level and the story is boring.”
“This game seems more like an intro to a bigger story.”

“One of the main technical issues that the gameplay has is that the enemies usually focus on just one of your characters until they kill it.”
“The gameplay is okay.”
