You play a series of missions and it goes like this
-Story cut scene
-Mission start
-Character commentaries within the mission (banter, talking about mission objectives, etc)
-mission end
-story cut scene

Rinse and repeat. It's fully voiced, and the voice over is really good.

Personally, I think its awesome. Yet not without flaws, but the overall setting is so underused, I was quickly sold.

You are thrown into the game without much backstory, there are many generic elements and overlooked plot points, but even so, they did enough to make you appreciate each and every crew member individually.

They did what they could with simple dialogues from top-down view, it could have been improved with longer and better animated cutscenes between missions to give more depth and charisma to each character but even without it the character development was enjoyable enough.

Also, highly recommend playing it in Japanese for better voice acting.

the story is meh, i wished they put more effort on the main characters. instead of just focusing on missions.

I don't wanna get into spoilers, but I legit choked up at one point because of story events. And the use (or specifically: lack of) music in that particular mission really nailed home the atmosphere...


I recommend.

I got it on sale and just finished it. Story is nifty enough but I think they really nailed the characters. I got hit with the feels harder than I expected and find myself considering picking up the expansion so they did something right at least

It's one of those games with a lot of gameplay and little story, which I appreciate, as I'm playing a game not reading a book. However the story is not bad at all and will impact you for sure.

The story that is there is pretty good, but it's in small bite size bits.

You play a series of missions and it goes like this
-Story cut scene
-Mission start
-Character commentaries within the mission (banter, talking about mission objectives, etc)
-mission end
-story cut scene

Rinse and repeat. It's fully voiced, and the voice over is really good.

Additionally, most missions have a mid-mission cutscene. Example: Bad guy berating his underling for 'losing' important documents (actually stolen by you) in previous missions, followed by underling committing Sepukku.
