The game's story has potential, featuring a unique theme centered around leading a criminal group and navigating challenges through strategy rather than brute force. However, players find the campaign mode too short, with only three missions, and side missions offering limited rewards, leading to a somewhat repetitive experience. Overall, while the narrative and stylization are appreciated, the lack of depth and variety in gameplay detracts from the overall enjoyment of the story.
- “I like that storytelling, when you know you are the head of a criminal group, and you want to solve all problems using brains, not with guns or power.”
- “Hmm, yes, I am pleasantly attracted to the game, or rather, I liked the story. I have never encountered a game on the theme of a secret society; I was surprised by the narration. The game is also beautifully stylized.”
- “---{story}---10/10”
- “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.”
