The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness and solid combat mechanics, with a focus on cooperative play enhancing the experience. While the game offers impressive graphics and a dedicated development team, players note that the current content is limited, providing only a few hours of gameplay, especially when played solo. The fluidity between waves in survival mode is highlighted as a standout feature, differentiating it from similar titles.
“Now for the good points: there's a lot of dedication clearly been put into this game by (as far as I know) an extremely small group of people. This shows in the gameplay still being smooth and the rate at which this game is updated and fixed.”
“- Combat gameplay is solid.”
“- The time between waves acts much more fluidly than most survival modes, changing nothing about gameplay between waves. I like this a lot because it really sets this title apart from others in a similar genre, where you go to an upgrade station that might even be broken or essentially pause actual gameplay to build new defenses or buy new weapons.”
“Because there were no overall instructions, it is entirely possible I could have missed something completely and overlooked key mechanics and aspects; I don't know.”
“Interiors have a plain palette that makes gameplay elements like enemies and health/ammo stand out to the player.”
“If you play solo, you might get an hour of gameplay out of it, but with friends, you may get a few more hours.”

“Good graphics, although I'm not a fan of motion blur. The controls are smooth, and the physics are good.”

The story aspect of the game presents intriguing possibilities that have players eager to see how it develops. However, there are concerns that the story mode may lack variety in weaponry, with players hoping for more options beyond just an upgradeable assault rifle.
“Intriguing possibilities for the story; I can't wait to see how that pans out.”
“The story mode feels lacking; I expected more than just an upgradeable assault rifle. A shotgun or some grenades would have added depth.”
“The narrative is underwhelming and fails to engage the player, leaving much to be desired in terms of character development and plot.”
“I found the story to be predictable and uninspired, making it hard to stay invested in the game's progression.”
