The story in the game is generally considered weak and underdeveloped, with many reviewers noting its brevity and lack of depth, often relegated to text in menus. While the missions are action-packed, they primarily consist of repetitive escort and defend tasks, leading to a grindy experience. Overall, the narrative feels generic and fails to engage players, despite some enjoyment found in the gameplay mechanics and mission variety.
“If you like a good action game with a great story, this one is a 'must buy', without hesitation!”
“I only played a couple of story missions so far and briefly checked out the survival mode but can already tell that I'll be playing this game much more.”
“The mission selection hub gives a good idea of what's to come and where the developer wants to go.”
“The campaign is a little generic, the story is basically in text form in menus.”
“There's very little story and each level is just a set piece with a limited area you can traverse.”
“So it has the voice acting and story of a low budget mobile game, free movement is slow and the teleporting is only in select zones.”

“I like the stylized graphics; they remind me of Borderlands, and the music is great.”

“Right down to the music and movement style.”

“I found the soundtrack to be uninspired and forgettable, which detracted from the overall experience.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and often unnecessary, leading to a tedious experience, especially after a few missions. The requirement for multiple playthroughs to unlock content can detract from enjoyment, prompting some to abandon the game altogether.

“The one black mark I'd put on this review is that the game feels somewhat grindy after a few missions.”
“Unlockables require plenty of replay, which isn't uncommon in games, but usually it's the most tedious missions that need multiple playthroughs. For me, that was enough to pick something else up without looking back after a couple of hours of play.”
