The gameplay is characterized by tight mechanics and a blend of simplicity and challenge, making it easy to learn yet difficult to master. Players enjoy the fun, cooperative multiplayer experience, likening it to a bow-centric version of Hotline Miami, with engaging level design and challenging enemies that enhance the overall enjoyment.
“Fun game with awesome mechanics to pass your time.”
“Tight game mechanics, simplicity, difficult and challenging enemies and level design, you'd think all this would lend the game to being a stiff and demanding arcade precision shooter, but combine all this with multiplayer couch-co-op elements it makes for a grand ol' time.”
“Smooth gameplay, easy to learn, hard to master.”
“In terms of gameplay, the most succinct way to describe this game is simply try playing Hotline Miami with a controller, but then also you have to use a bow instead of a machine gun or shotgun.”
“It's been a rough ride, but 11 hours of gameplay managed to get me to colosseum level 8!”

The game lacks a substantial story, primarily focusing on various gameplay modes such as vs arena, wave survival, and campaign missions. Players engage in repetitive missions centered around rescuing Princess Zelda, which some reviewers found to be uninspired and in need of a more compelling narrative. While local co-op allows for multiplayer fun, the overall storytelling aspect is minimal and could benefit from greater depth.
“Would be awesome with some story, and less typical princess rescuing in each mission.”
“No story.”
“Anyways, in this quest to rescue Princess Zelda twenty-five times, Legolas can rescue Zelda alone or with up to three other companions: Link, Hawkeye, or Red the Green Arrow on the same machine with local co-op.”

The game's music is described as soothing, contrasting with the intense gameplay experience, which some players find frustrating. While it lacks sound effects, the simple yet immersive soundtrack enhances the overall atmosphere. Despite mixed feelings about the gameplay, the music has received some positive remarks for its ability to set the scene.
“The simple, yet intense music also sets the scene to get involved and immerse yourself within the experience. I only played for about 10 minutes, but I hope there will be more updates as I'll be frequently playing this awesome, inexpensive game.”
“For some reason, the game doesn't have sounds, only music... why?”
“Instead of having an 80s bee bop soundtrack like Hotline Miami, this game has a much more soothing soundtrack in campaign mode while you scream obscenities at your computer for being a piece of absolute garbage for not reading your inputs. This game cheats so much; everything broke. 10/10 would put the disk in a blender if it was on a disk.”
