The gameplay is highly praised for its addictive nature and satisfying gunplay, drawing comparisons to "Hotline Miami" with its combo mechanics and unpredictable enemies. Players appreciate the variety of weapons and the need to adapt strategies, although some find the difficulty to be inconsistent. While the graphics are considered decent but not outstanding, the overall experience is deemed fun and engaging, making it worth a try despite some repetitive elements.
“Gameplay is very addictive and gunplay is satisfying.”
“Overall a very fun gameplay-heavy game, and while I think other departments let the game down because they aren't as built up or stylistic as I prefer in a game, it can very easily be forgiven just by how fun the game is to play and based on that alone, I'd say to give it a try!”
“The combat is momentum-driven with simple mechanics that can combine together in ways that open up a fair amount of depth, sort of like if Titanfall was designed for arcades.”
“But the core gameplay is really repetitive and honestly, boring.”
“Not recommended because using your guns is the central mechanic of this game.”
“In particular, the game's numerous mechanics are conveyed largely through a big practice room full of buttons that show tooltips as well as small explanation videos on levels where new mechanics are introduced, meaning that it's on the player to seek out how to play and practice rather than the game providing a more natural tutorial process.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising the later chapters' soundtracks as great and fitting, while others find the initial tracks cheap and unappealing. Many users opted to mute the game or replace the soundtrack with their own playlists, citing issues with voice line clarity and overall quality. Despite the varied opinions, the energetic music during high combos is noted as a highlight.
“Oh and the OST is absolutely amazing and they have the music start blasting when you get a high combo, which is awesome.”
“Bumpin' electro-pop soundtrack, THPS challenges, and a very smooth futuristic art style.”
“Really nice graphics, gameplay, and soundtrack!”
“The first chapter's soundtrack is kind of cheap, so most people will probably turn it to mute and won't see how much better the music gets in the second and third chapters.”
“The music and sound is where the game didn't really have much going on either; the music I frankly thought was dreadful. I shut it off pretty quickly and put my own playlists on, but the sound effects are alright. Some of the voice lines can be almost impossible to hear, but they're never really needed, so I paid no mind to it.”
“I'm also not a fan of the music used, nor the low-quality voice lines.”

The graphics are described as having an ascetic beauty that suits budget PCs, providing a clean visual experience that doesn't distract from gameplay. While some players find the visuals satisfactory and immersive, others note a lack of vibrancy in the landscapes, which may detract from the overall atmosphere. Overall, the game features a smooth futuristic art style that, despite some amateurish elements, is complemented by a strong soundtrack and polished gameplay mechanics.

“Really nice graphics, gameplay, and soundtrack!”
“The graphics are alright; I didn't find them outstanding nor bland. They didn't really hinder the gameplay, and everything that needs to be clear to the player is very much made clear. However, a lot of the landscape looks dull and doesn't have much life to it. It could be an intentional part of the atmosphere, but for me, I just saw it as a side element to everything going on.”
“Graphics have this ascetic type of beauty, which is good for budget PCs and gives a clean visual look without distracting you from gameplay.”

The atmosphere is characterized by average graphics that neither enhance nor detract from gameplay, with some landscapes appearing dull and lifeless. While this may be an intentional design choice, it ultimately feels like a secondary element rather than a defining feature of the game.
“The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, drawing you into the world and making you feel like you're part of the story.”
“The sound design enhances the atmosphere beautifully, creating a sense of tension and excitement that keeps you on the edge of your seat.”
“The lighting and environmental details contribute to a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that lingers long after you've put the game down.”

“The atmosphere feels lifeless and uninspired, making it hard to immerse myself in the game world. It lacks the depth and detail that would make the environment engaging.”
“While the game has some interesting concepts, the overall atmosphere is flat and uninviting. It doesn't evoke any strong emotions or sense of place, which detracts from the experience.”
