The story aspect of "Void Crew" is largely criticized for its lack of depth and narrative engagement, with many players noting that the game feels more like a series of repetitive missions rather than a cohesive campaign. While the missions themselves offer varied objectives and require teamwork, they often lack meaningful context or progression, leading to a sense of monotony. Players express a desire for a more robust storyline and persistent elements that would enhance the overall experience and investment in the game world.

- “It's just a short campaign with a few types of random missions leading up to a boss.”
- “The missions feel very copy-paste, so the missions themselves feel like a repeat again and again.”
- “The progression is absolutely horrible; you kit out a ship and by the end of a successful mission, your ship is reset to the base level for the next mission, besides some dumb leveling-based meta-progression, you earn nothing by completing a mission successfully, no gold, no guns, no resources.”
