The gameplay experience is marred by significant issues, including poor controls, lack of tutorials, and frequent server disconnections, leading to frustration among players. While some find the core mechanics fun and engaging, many criticize the game's simplicity and the need for more objectives and catch-up mechanics. Overall, the game feels unpolished and suffers from optimization problems, making it challenging to enjoy in its current early access state.
- “During my playthroughs, I was able to get into a total of four matches. Mind you, the game released on April 7th, and I finally have enough gameplay footage as of April 13th as I write this.”
- “The gameplay is fun and simple (possibly a little bit too simple).”
- “Game ran smoothly, no significant lag issues, and the gameplay itself was pretty fun.”
- “I saw the trailer and liked the gameplay, but when I launched the game, it messed up my mouse sensitivity. I tried to find options in the main menu but couldn't. After trying to join a game, it was stuck on 'looking for 6 players' for about 10 minutes. Finally, I found some people trying to play, but then it suddenly crashed. I started it again, found some people, and then the server disconnected. I tried again, but nothing worked; I couldn't even join or find a game.”
- “Currently, the game has optimization issues affecting both performance and gameplay itself.”
- “Connecting to an actual game takes forever, and it's rare not to have people disconnect. There's no tutorial, so no one knows what they're doing. The gameplay is very janky, but there are like $200 worth of microtransactions, so that's cool.”

- “Nice overall art style.”
- “The art style is still nice, and the vibrant colors help make the game look attractive and make the singular map worth exploring, so the art department should be proud of their achievement.”
- “Visuals are pleasant and one of the few things that I don't have an issue with.”
- “Graphics hopeless for those times.”
- “The graphics are meh and the gameplay is far from engaging.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, with many reviewers highlighting the excessive and poorly implemented microtransactions, including a battle pass, amidst a lack of essential features like tutorials and stable gameplay. While some acknowledge the necessity of funding game development, the overwhelming focus on monetization in a buggy and unpolished environment has left players frustrated. Overall, there is a strong call for a reevaluation of the monetization strategy to enhance the gaming experience.
- “Thirdly, let's talk monetization.”
- “I do know that it costs money to develop games, commission art, run servers, have the game hosted, websites, etc. Personally, I don't care that microtransactions are set up in what many perceive to be a broken, buggy mess.”
- “The game has microtransactions and a battle pass but no tutorial and the only setting in the options menu is 'exit to desktop'.”
- “Many other reviews harshly criticize the implementation of microtransactions as agents: Biohunters is quite unpolished.”
- “The game has microtransactions and a battle pass, but no tutorial, and the only setting in the options menu is 'exit to desktop'.”
- “So, to sum it up, it has potential, needs a lot of work, dial down on the monetization aspect, and please for the love of God, watch something else other than Marvel and DC.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect enjoyable, particularly in farming and leveling up, though the raid boss presents a challenging and punishing experience. The ability to place walls and turrets during fights adds a strategic layer, encouraging players to continue farming even in boss encounters for additional support.
- “In such case, prepare to extend fights until others figure the game out or are done farming.”
- “You can put down walls or turrets anywhere, even in the boss arena, so even during the boss fight it might be worth farming normal creeps to bring some extra firepower.”
