The gameplay is highly praised for its engaging mechanics, diverse character playstyles, and tight hitbox detection, creating a fast-paced and challenging experience. Players appreciate the depth provided by unlockable content and the attention to detail in level design and boss encounters. Overall, the combination of a great soundtrack and nostalgic art style enhances the enjoyment of the gameplay.
“The four characters play very differently from one another, which is great to mix up gameplay.”
“The music is awesome, the gameplay is awesome, the animations are awesome, the hitbox detection is super tight and accurate. There is a plethora of permanent upgrades to unlock just by playing, and the attention to detail in each level and boss stage is remarkable.”
“That has a lot of meat, great soundtrack, killer 90's cartoon throwback art, and tight gameplay mechanics; you are in for a treat!”
“Anger Force is a bullet hell that spends all of its efforts on scraps of story and grinding progression mechanics.”
“Gameplay is far too fast and unforgiving.”
“It managed to house a lot of content through its unlocks: none of these unlocks upgraded characters, but they did show progress by either helping players get familiar with mechanics (like combo chains) or giving new characters that offered new ways to play.”

The story in "Anger Force" is described as inventive and engaging, enhancing the overall experience despite being somewhat minimal and often overshadowed by gameplay mechanics. Players unlock story elements by progressing through the campaign and tackling harder difficulties, though some find the narrative to be largely unnecessary. While the voice acting is decent, issues like skipped subtitles detract from the storytelling experience.
“Its inventive story and stellar music and art helped to really set it apart and keep it engaging for someone who is admittedly a casual bullet-hell fan.”
“When you play as the characters in the campaign, you unlock bits of story for each, and you have to play harder difficulties in order to unlock more of the story.”
“Multiple difficulty levels to ease beginners into the game, a story to keep you interested, and an upgrade system means that no playthrough is meaningless.”
“Anger Force is a bullet hell that spends all of its efforts on scraps of story and grinding progression mechanics.”
“There is definitely effort put into the story, though it’s largely unnecessary.”
“There is not much of a story, and the voice acting, while actually not that bad, sometimes skips subtitles that pop up.”
