The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing the poor controls and the disjointed balance between fast-paced twin-stick action and tactical elements, leading to a stop-and-start experience. Suggestions for improvement include introducing a tactical mode to enhance squad management without pausing the game. Overall, many reviewers feel that the game needs significant revamping and the addition of cooperative play to be more enjoyable.
- “One way the command system could be given more use would be to introduce a tactical mode such as that seen in The Red Solstice, in which the game isn't paused completely but slowed down so as to allow the player to position and order their squad without completely halting gameplay.”
- “Smooth gameplay.”
- “This isn't the most detailed review and it might not help you decide if you want to buy it or not, so here is some gameplay to hopefully help you decide: https://www.youtube.”
- “Gameplay and key controls are bad.”
- “Doing this slows the game right down into stop-and-start type gameplay, which contradicts the otherwise fast-paced twin-stick shooter nature of the game.”
- “In its current state, I can't recommend this until they add co-op and/or revamp the mechanics and gameplay to better complement each other.”
