The story aspect of the game is perceived as having potential, particularly with its intriguing premise of leading a criminal group and solving problems through strategy rather than violence. However, players find the narrative experience limited due to a short campaign mode consisting of only three missions, which contributes to a sense of repetitiveness and restricts engagement with the story. Overall, while the foundation for a compelling story exists, its execution leaves much to be desired.

- “---{story}---10/10”
- “I see potential for a good story, even if the current gameplay isn't enjoyable for me.”
- “It does seem like a fun game, but its game modes are too limiting with only one valid game mode, and that one game mode being campaign mode, which is cut short after only about three missions.”
- “While there are rewards for completing side missions, they seem to be limited to general resource gain.”
- “I have only played the tutorial and one mission after that, but so far it seems a bit repetitive.”
