The music in the game has received widespread acclaim for its energetic and dynamic soundtrack, which enhances the fast-paced gameplay and overall experience.

Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's adrenaline-fueled atmosphere.
“The soundtrack is absolute fire; jaybooty is in the same boat as Mick Gordon or Jeremy Soule, just not in the same genre.”
“The music is kicking and goes into overdrive once the action starts.”
“The sheer adrenaline created by the mix of music and intense gameplay can be enough to drive you forward, smashing into unfamiliar levels and reacting to threats as the bass pounds in the background.”
“The sound and music hurt my ears.”

“The gameplay feels great; I love the mix of first-person shooter and Hotline Miami style.”
“The variety of weapons and upgrades you can find along the way adds layers of strategy and excitement to the gameplay, keeping each run fresh and engaging.”
“Anger Foot is a thrilling run-and-gun game that delivers fast-paced gameplay and a variety of exciting mechanics.”
“The gameplay and level design is simple, maybe too much at times.”
“There's sometimes where I'm going for a challenge only to realize I made the wrong choice and then need to back out to the map, choose a new shoe, and then reload the map, which does detract from the otherwise fast-paced gameplay.”
“After a few levels, the enemies, weapons, and mechanics felt repetitive - the art and music were still really cool though.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many players reporting severe frame drops, stuttering, and crashes, particularly in later levels or during intense action sequences. Despite the fun gameplay, these performance issues detract from the overall experience, leading many to recommend waiting for patches before purchasing. While some users have noted improvements with recent updates, the consensus is that the game still requires further optimization to meet expectations, especially given its relatively low graphical demands.
“Overall great game with huge Hotline Miami influence but suffers from optimization issues that will be fixed.”
“Performance is a little rough and needs work, but everything else about the game is amazing.”
“It definitely needs some performance tweaks as there were a few levels that suffered from some nasty frame dropping issues and I'm using an i9 9700k with a GTX 2080 and 32GB of RAM.”
“The performance is so bad; 99% of frames were 20 in medium settings 2K with everything off including anti-aliasing. I have an RTX 3080 and Ryzen 7 5800X, so it's unlikely to be my PC. I'm not going to refund since the beta worked perfectly, but I don't recommend it now until they fix the performance issues.”
“This is an excellent game held back by awful performance issues that make the breakneck reactions that the game expects from you totally unfeasible.”

The humor in "Anger Foot" is a mix of juvenile, slapstick, and absurdity, often drawing comparisons to shows like "Family Guy" and "Adult Swim."

Overall, the humor is described as vibrant and integral to the game's charm, making it a hit for fans of fast-paced, comedic shooters.
“Seriously, this game oozes with personality and is downright hilarious, but the most important thing of all is that it is fun!”
“The story is hilarious and the characters in the environments are also hilarious; you're literally in a city called Shit City where all crime is legal and everyone is in a gang.”
“The dialogue is funny, the characters are funny, the motivations of some characters are funny, what they're doing is funny, how they look is funny, their names are all punny, and it's all wrapped in a neat little bow.”

“The visuals are very basic and levels relatively small; there is no excuse to release the game in this state.”

The story of "Anger Foot" is a comically absurd and straightforward narrative set in the chaotic "shit city," where players take on the role of Anger Foot, a character on a mission to reclaim stolen footwear from criminal gangs. While the plot serves primarily as a loose framework for the fast-paced gameplay, it is infused with dark humor and quirky characters that enhance the overall experience, making it engaging and entertaining despite its simplicity. Players appreciate the humor and world-building, though some feel the story could be less intrusive and more seamlessly integrated into the gameplay.
“Somewhere along the way you realize the story that's a joke is actually fun and engaging and somehow kinda' moody, and you start to get 'into it', with the hectic action, awful but lovable cast of characters, dark, vulgar but somehow witty humor, all along to an insane gabber soundtrack pulsing at the forefront, you just feel the vibe this game has going for it.”
“The story of your lad, one Mr. Anger Foot, who has all his prized footwear stolen by the city's most notorious criminal gangs and goes on a rampage through the entire city to get them back.”
“The story is hilarious and the characters in the environments are also hilarious; you're literally in a city called 'Shit City' where all crime is legal and everyone is in a gang.”
“The writing is typically not that important for games like Anger Foot - the story is simply there as a loose framework to justify why you're wiping out hordes of crooks with your deadly feet - but even then, what we got is really disappointing.”
“Imho: I don't really get why the devs bothered with the story. To such a degree, I think it would be better to not have it and just tell the story by playing the game, as many other games have done before.”
“The story of Anger Foot is simple and quite fitting for a stripped-down shooter: you are Anger Foot, the only independent criminal in... uhm... 'poop' city.”

The game boasts high replayability, driven by features like shoe customization and the pursuit of achieving three stars on each level, which encourages players to experiment with different strategies. Despite its linear structure, the inclusion of various challenges, speedruns, and unlockable content enhances the replay value, making it appealing for players who enjoy revisiting levels to improve their scores and explore diverse playstyles. Overall, players can expect hours of engaging gameplay with ample opportunities for replay.
“One of Anger Foot's standout features is its high replayability.”
“The gameplay and story are immersive, and there is plenty of replayability with speedruns and challenges to 100% the game.”
“It all adds replay value; you can't complete every goal in one playthrough, but you want to complete every goal to get more shoes to get more gameplay modifiers.”
“The only complaints are bad replayability and performance issues.”
“So, such replayability is created for this audience to improve their score on the current level.”
“You can also go back and do challenges or do challenges on the fly to add to replayability again (some challenges are not that satisfying in my opinion), but also it helps unlock additional sneakers that can change up play style and help with star challenges in each level.”

90%Anger Foot (PC) Review
While it may have kicked my ass to kingdom come, Anger Foot is a creative approach to a chaotically simple FPS that’s light on the shooting and heavy on the kicking. Despite the simplicity of its controls, it is a refreshing take on an FPS that encourages players to do something other than mindlessly shoot enemies. I cannot wait to see what else Free Lives and Devolver cook up!
