Overall, the soundtrack is a significant aspect of the game, with opinions varying widely based on personal taste.

    • “The music keeps you hooked with some of the grimiest bass I've heard in a video game.”
    • “The soundtrack is perfection.”
    • “Man, the soundtrack is worth the price alone; it really pumps up the aesthetic and they cycle the tracks so they don't get old.”
    • “The music, however, is awful!”
    • “First game where the gameplay is fine and all but the setting and the music design just kill it for me.”
    • “A personal criticism: the music kind of makes my ears bleed, honestly, but it fits the setting and action well enough.”
  • gameplay56 mentions

    The gameplay is generally described as fun, smooth, and chaotic, with a solid variety of weapons and upgrades that enhance the experience, especially in multiplayer settings. However, many players note that it becomes repetitive after a while, with clunky mechanics and poor AI detracting from the overall enjoyment. While some find the gameplay satisfying and reminiscent of other titles, others express concerns about a lack of enemy diversity and questionable design choices that could impact long-term engagement.

    • “The gameplay is fun, arcadey, and competitive, even if you're solo running or with friends.”
    • “Gameplay is great and frantic, with a great weapon variety.”
    • “The gameplay is super smooth and satisfying.”
    • “Good soundtrack, but the gameplay is very repetitive and gets highly boring after 20 or so runs.”
    • “The mechanics are clunky and the inputs are heavily delayed, which is frustrating.”
    • “My biggest gripe would have to be the rarity/gun mechanics and the huge lack of diversity of enemies. If they don't add more enemy types over the next 3-6 months, I would be inclined to switch my positive review to a negative just to save people from buying an extremely repetitive game.”
  • graphics38 mentions

    The game's graphics are a vibrant blend of modern and retro aesthetics, drawing inspiration from b-boy and graffiti culture, with a strong cyberpunk influence. Players appreciate the striking art style, extensive customization options, and impactful visuals that enhance the overall gameplay experience. While the graphics are generally praised as top-notch, some users express disappointment over the lack of ongoing developer support.

    • “The whole aesthetic of cyberpunk is very well done, and it is visually sound.”
    • “The art style is pretty gorgeous.”
    • “Cyberpunk aesthetic with pleasing visuals and good ray tracing, punchy combat that feels like a third-person Borderlands 3 almost, compelling grind, fantastic music, and overall just awesome vibes that will have you saying 'just one more run!'.”
    • “The visuals are a mixture of derpy and modern, but the customization is practically limitless.”
    • “-decent graphics”
    • “A roguelike looter shooter with a Fortnite-style art and a loud, futuristic trap-like soundtrack.”
  • story22 mentions

    The story in the game is generally considered lackluster, with many players finding it "meh" and not a primary focus of their experience. While some appreciate the humor in the dialogue, the overall presentation and mission structure are criticized for being confusing and cluttered, detracting from the gameplay. Players seem to prioritize fun gameplay over a compelling narrative, indicating that the story does not significantly enhance the game.

    • “I am not here much for the story, but what I have listened to so far is funny.”
    • “They don't add a huge amount to the type of game it is, but it is very solid and it has a quest system in order to unlock cosmetics.”
    • “Story is meh, but it's more about the fun gameplay.”
    • “The presentation and dialogue makes me want to seriously hurt myself (and I've played multiple Borderlands games!). The map layouts sometimes get confusing enough to completely disrupt the fast-paced flow the game is trying to establish. You have to shoot-n-loot a-la Borderlands, but it never really works because it's practically impossible to identify if a weapon is a shotgun, pistol, or SMG without swapping it into your loadout. The game throws a million 'do x' and 'kill y' missions at you without any way to track them in a run that I've found.”
    • “Story is just very meh.”
    • “There is practically no story.”
  • monetization8 mentions

    The game's monetization primarily revolves around cosmetic microtransactions, with in-app purchases available but deemed unnecessary for gameplay. While some users appreciate the fun weapons and sound design, they criticize the lack of proper advertising and the quality of the box art. Overall, the monetization strategy focuses on optional cosmetic enhancements rather than pay-to-win mechanics.

    • “Basically Warframe as a rogue-lite; weapons are pretty fun and sound good. The only downside is there are cosmetics that look pretty cool that you have to buy, and there are microtransactions.”
    • “Game has in-app purchases.”
    • “Not really any need for in-game purchases other than cosmetic.”
