Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some users highlighting enjoyable fast-paced action, smooth mechanics, and engaging graphics, while others criticize significant control issues and bugs that hinder the experience. The game features tight shooting mechanics and unique knife gameplay, but also suffers from a lack of weapon selection and unrealistic gun handling. Overall, it offers a blend of fun and frustration, appealing to fans of arcade-style FPS games in VR.
“Great VR game with good graphics and gameplay.”
“This one is worth it, fast FPS with awesome graphics, gameplay, and non-stop action. It's easy to learn and offers multiple styles and maps to enjoy!”
“Shooting mechanics are tighter than Pavlov, and honestly tighter than Onward was the last time I played it.”
“The menu in-game does not work, half the controls do not work, you can't change weapons after being killed (it gives you the menu but the menu doesn't work), you can't pull the pin on a grenade, reloading and grabbing the gun is made from total crap mechanics.”
“All around horrible game with horribly bugged controls and gameplay.”
“Disclaimer: the gun mechanics are not completely realistic as there's no need for racking and the weapons selection is also lacking.”

“Fantastic graphics running at a smooth 90fps even on my old first generation i7.”
“This one is worth it, fast FPS with awesome graphics, gameplay, and non-stop action, easy to learn and multiple styles and maps to enjoy!”

Overall, the game is considered decently optimized for its new release, with good graphics and performance. Users express confidence in the developers' commitment to improving controls, particularly for Oculus, which could enhance the experience further. The game's low price point is also highlighted as a positive factor.
“We have to support these developers if we expect them to continue. It's only 8 bucks right now, and it's a really good game that is decently optimized for being so new.”
“I have been assured by the developers that the Oculus controls are being sorted. Once this is done, I believe this game could be really fun. The graphics and game performance are really good, even with the menu controls being a nightmare at the moment. It's a mere snip for under £6.”
