The story mode is criticized for being overly challenging and repetitive, requiring players to grind through the same mission multiple times to progress. Many reviewers found the narrative lacking, describing it as boring and limited to a single level, which feels more like an introduction to a larger story. While the difficulty has been addressed in updates, the overall experience is marred by the length and simplicity of 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.”
