The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the quality and fun nature of the tracks, others feel that the absence of background music during battles detracts from the overall experience.

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant stuttering and lag even on high-end systems, while others praise its performance on low-end devices. Despite the poor optimization complaints, there are mentions of impressive performance in certain contexts, particularly in early access titles. Overall, the game's optimization appears to be a major concern for many users, overshadowing its otherwise enjoyable gameplay.
- “It goes directly to the point in every single aspect of the game; nothing is just a space to fill. Beautiful, the optimization, the requirements, the storage—this has to be a Game of the Year if they keep improving it with new mechanics, maps, and better class balancing.”
- “Best free-to-play roguelike in 2025, best optimization, nice graphics, gameplay is so smooth, nice room matchmaking system, but we must see what server fits your connection. My advice is to add a regular matchmaking system and a server selection option as well.”
- “The game is beautifully stylized and gorgeous to look at while being very optimized for low-end devices.”
- “The game stutters yet somehow only requires 1GB of RAM according to the devs. It's just all around very badly optimized and very poorly made. The only redeeming factor is the actual gameplay if you can get past all the lag, freezing, and stutter, even though you're on an $800 computer.”
- “Last but not least, they have the audacity to leave this game in the terrible optimization it is, then continue with blog posts asking people to check out their new projects since they refuse to continue to support this one.”
- “Blend that with a toxic community, awful graphics and optimization, and lobby games where leaving matches early gives 0 penalty, it's just a hard no.”

Overall, the game offers significant replayability due to its diverse character roster, unique ability kits, and random upgrades that keep each match feeling fresh. Players appreciate the potential for customization and the variety of builds, though some express a desire for additional features like ranked modes and custom maps to enhance longevity. However, concerns about bugs and limited content in the current version may affect the overall replay experience.
- “The random upgrades each round/game give a lot of replayability with friends.”
- “Each match feels very different and has loads of replayability with the different ability kits, cards/augments, map layouts, and environmental mechanics to play around.”
- “It is incredibly replayable with so many characters and builds you can create with augments.”
- “I initially reviewed this game as a breath of fresh air and while it looked promising, the 'definitive' 1.0 update as it stands feels like a half-baked concept with mid celeb 'voice acting' (except Connor, love you Connor) where they just talk with awkward inflections and hardly enough toggles for the game to have more than 3 hours of replayability.”
- “Fun game to play with friends, we need ranks for competitive gamestyle solo/duo/4vs4 and more skins, emotes, and skins on everything (profile picture, board, weapons, kill effect) and with these features, the game will feel complete and more playable.”
- “Being able to design and play on custom maps would add endless replayability.”
