- “The soundtrack is great and adds a nice rhythm to the gameplay, never expected to encounter hardcore/hardstyle in a video game like that.”

- “While the music may get a bit repetitive over time, Anger Foot still delivers a thrilling experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many players reporting severe performance issues, including stuttering and frame drops, particularly during intense action sequences or in larger environments.

- “The game seems to have improved its performance since its original release, so now that issue is out of the way, I can recommend this game if you are into speedy shooters with a sense of humor.”
- “Great game with a few hiccups, mainly performance; the game crashed several times and had performance issues.”
- “Tldr: unoptimized mess, repetitive challenges, more frustrating than fun.”
- “Worst of all, no matter your settings, this game has serious performance/stuttering issues that can be incredibly distracting when deep concentration is required of you just to finish some of these levels.”
- “The performance is so bad; 99% of the time, frames were at 20 in medium settings 2k with everything off including anti-aliasing. I don't know if it's because of my PC, but I have an RTX 3080 and Ryzen 7 5800X, so it's unlikely. Not going to refund since the beta worked perfectly; I don't know why the release has such poor performance. I recommend it after they fix the performance issue, but I don't recommend it now.”

- “The way Anger Foot weaves story into a casual level-based game is unparalleled, and I've never seen anything like it.”
- “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 gameplay and story are immersive and there is plenty of replayability with speedruns and challenges to 100% the game.”
- “The only complaints are bad replayability and performance issues.”
- “The replayability becomes notorious when the challenges contradict each other, since sometimes the same level will ask us to use only our feet, and also to not use the kick on the entire level; that is to say, we must play the map at least twice if we want to fully complete it.”
- “You have to replay missions quite a bit to get all the challenge stars which encourages replayability and it will certainly appeal to some people.”
grinding

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to repetitive challenges that require completing levels multiple times with specific restrictions.

- “No grinding or open-world travels, just pure gameplay!”
- “90% of them thus far have been to complete a level using only your kick, which I get is in theme with the game, but it gets tiring, tedious, and frustrating going through the same level 2 or 3 times just to complete it once while using kick only, to then have to do the same every level after.”
- “Although you can finish the game within a couple of hours (let's say 3-4 hours if you kinda speedrun it), the developers have some additional challenges for each level to keep you grinding until getting that star.”
- “Game is just an infuriating precision platformer with no real room for any creativity in method; it starts off interesting but by level 15 it becomes extremely linear and tedious.”
