The gameplay is characterized by simple controls and easy-to-understand mechanics, yet it requires skill to master. However, the absence of a jumping mechanic and limited complexity restricts its appeal, making it feel more like a minigame within a larger context. While each map offers distinct and well-designed experiences, the overall gameplay could benefit from additional actions to enhance flexibility and depth.
- “Although the controls and gameplay are fairly simple, it takes some skill to master it.”
- “Each map is distinct, brings out different gameplay, and is mostly well designed.”
- “Controls are simple, the gameplay is easy to grasp but still has strategic value.”
- “If the developer can add more actions, I think the gameplay will be more flexible.”
- “The gameplay turned out highly restricted by this.”
- “I blame the lack of jumping mechanics and minimum complex physics for its lack of appeal.”

The graphics of the game feature a low-poly, minimalistic aesthetic that aligns well with its overall design, distinguishing it from other titles like Gang Beasts or Bushido Blade. Reviewers appreciate the serious tone of the demo model, which effectively complements the game's artistic direction.
- “Honestly, the demo model was much more serious and in sync with the low-poly minimalistic aesthetic of the game.”
- “Do not let the art style or people's comparisons make you think this game is like Gang Beasts because it is not; neither is it Bushido Blade.”
