The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and coherence, with many reviewers noting it feels disjointed and filled with plot holes. While some elements are deemed interesting, the overall narrative is considered forgettable and underdeveloped, often overshadowed by gameplay mechanics. The short length and abrupt ending leave players wanting more, suggesting that the story could benefit from additional missions and better character development.
“The story was typical but done well.”
“If I have a good time with the story along with the gameplay, I don’t mind it being short.”
“The story (narrated heavily by the aforementioned voice acting) however is a bit too long-winded despite not really establishing its characters very well.”
“The game lacks substance in its story; it only gets a bit juicy near the end, and even then the game is really short.”
“The story is mind-numbingly boring, mainly due to the narration of the storytelling, but as a whole (without the narration), it is pretty interesting.”
“The game feels incomplete; the short length and the story abruptly ending before it even really gets going.”

The gameplay is generally considered fun and fast-paced, featuring enjoyable mechanics and combat, but it suffers from issues such as a lack of enemy variety, overly simplistic AI, and short mission length. Many players express a desire for more depth and complexity, as well as improvements to the AI and overall content. While some appreciate the engaging aspects, the gameplay is often described as shallow and in need of refinement.
“I'd gladly buy another game that polishes the story and the gameplay of this one.”
“Fast-paced gameplay.”
“The gameplay has something going for it and I would love to see more variety in the enemies.”
“The gameplay is okay, but know that midway through the game, the AI makes the missions easy to clear.”
“This game is 30 dollars for less than an hour of actual gameplay in the form of 6 missions.”
“Plays like a kinetic novel with cutscenes in between missions, of which there's only six and sadly don't do the game justice in terms of gameplay.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered decent, with satisfactory aesthetics, but they are overshadowed by gameplay quality. Players note difficulty in distinguishing between high and medium settings due to the scale of enemies and limited opportunities to view character models during missions. Overall, while the visuals are acceptable, they are not a standout feature.
“The aesthetics are fine, although the story writing is a bit iffy.”
“The graphics are decent.”
“There are a fair amount of options for a game like this, but I found it hard to distinguish between high and medium graphics due to the size of the enemies and the limited opportunity to view my character model until the end of a mission.”
“There's an okay amount of options for a game like this, but I was finding it hard to tell the difference between high and medium graphics when enemies are either too big or too small, and you don't really get a chance to look at your own character model until the end of a mission.”
“Aesthetics are fine, story writing is a bit iffy.”
