The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal and unengaging, with many players noting the lack of complexity and the presence of unskippable cutscenes that disrupt gameplay. While some appreciate the straightforward nature of the narrative, others find it repetitive and lacking in creativity, leading to a sense of boredom. Overall, the story is seen as an afterthought, overshadowed by the gameplay mechanics.
“Epic story.”
“A great relaxing shooter with cute graphics, sick bosses, and a nice story.”
“People who like clickable games will enjoy it because you can't move your character, just looking left and right and front to kill, and the fun thing is the boss fight, online mode, upgrades, and story.”
“This game has no story.”
“This is basically a game on rails with a poorly developed story; hilariously, the player cannot skip the story once you have started, and must wait for cutscenes to finish in order to play.”
“I like the idea, but there isn't a lot to do; it lacks gameplay and any story.”

The gameplay is described as a straightforward and addictive experience, reminiscent of a mobile game, with responsive controls and a mix of mechanics including shooting and boss levels. While the online component is non-functional and the overall excitement may be limited, the game offers enjoyable, brainless fun for players who appreciate simple concepts and progression systems.
“Clearly a port of a mobile game (some scenes still tell you to tap lol), but that is not a bad thing. It's a brainless but very fun and addicting game, and the mouse/keyboard controls enhance the gameplay.”
“Every few levels it mixes things up with alternate gameplay such as sniper levels or bosses.”
“Fun, very responsive little on-rails shooter with a good progression system and some actual gunplay mechanics.”
“On-line gameplay no longer works, but it's not necessary to complete the game or obtain all achievements.”
“Don't waste your $2 (USD) on this as it is just reused mechanics for the offline mode, and there is almost no one to even bother playing with online.”
“Clearly a port of a mobile game (some scenes still tell you to tap), but that is not a bad thing; it's a brainless but very fun and addicting game.”

Players recommend playing the game on PC rather than mobile due to the presence of ads on the mobile version, which can be removed for a higher cost of €2.39.
“I recommend playing it here and not on mobile because here you will see no ads, but on mobile you will see them. If you buy the no ads option there, it will be a lot more expensive than 2.39 euros.”
