The game's story is engaging and features a variety of characters and plotlines that come together by the end of Season 1, providing a solid narrative experience. However, players face a significant grind after the credits roll, as they must complete numerous matches to unlock further story content, leaving uncertainty about the balance of future seasons. Overall, while the story has potential and is entertaining, the gameplay demands may detract from the narrative experience for some players.
- “Although only season 1 is out right now, there is a lot of gameplay to go through, different characters and their storylines, and you get a story that comes together at the end.”
- “Has a whole lot of character and the story mode isn't bad at all.”
- “It's plenty entertaining enough for a solid story playthrough, and if you can resist the urge to rub yourself against every ounce of content it has to offer, it's worth your time.”
- “Shame I suck so bad at this game; the story was interesting while it lasted.”
- “Once the credits roll, there is a long grind ahead of you as you are tasked with playing through dozens of matches back to back in order to rank up and get the next unlock or story bit.”
- “It's tough to tell whether or not this grind will pay off; it largely depends on whether 'season 2' (the next story patch with a yet to be determined release date) will be balanced around an assumption of completing the 'season 1' end game, or simply require a credits roll of season 1 to start playing.”
