The gameplay is reminiscent of the classic Rampage arcade game, featuring simple mechanics focused on destruction and chaos, but with added depth through cash drops and potential multiplayer options. While some players find it enjoyable and fun, others criticize it as clunky and uninspired, suggesting that the retro style may not appeal to everyone. Overall, it caters well to fans of arcade-style gameplay and furry themes, though it may feel outdated to some.
“The gameplay is all the fun of Rampage with more depth, cash, and drops to spice up the total frenzy going on in the game.”
“On the whole, for furry fans, fans of the Bedfellows, and for fans of classic arcade style gameplay, this game is a must play, as it does appeal to all of those in its own way.”
“Straight away from the gameplay, you'll instantly draw some comparisons to the game Rampage, and you'd be right; the aim of the game is to level the city as quick as you can and not be obliterated by the army trying to shoot you out of your mad frenzy.”
“This game pops up, probably funded by said Patreon, and it's a boring, uninspired, clunky, non-rewarding ripoff of the 80s original Rampage arcade game, loosely based upon one episode in which Sheen and Fatigue play it for Fatigue's YouTube gameplay video.”
“Apparently, I seem to think this particular style of gameplay should have stayed back in the 80s as it's boring for me now.”
“This game has pretty much the same gameplay as that one but with some small differences.”

Overall, the humor is seen as a standout feature, enhancing the enjoyment of the game.

The music in the game is generally praised for its energetic and nostalgic 8-bit style, contributing to an enjoyable experience reminiscent of old-school arcade games. However, some players note a lack of variety and quality, leading to repetitive and droning tracks that can detract from long play sessions. Overall, while the soundtrack is engaging, it may not leave a lasting impression.
“The look of the items and everything about this, even the kickass soundtrack, are great.”
“Old school fun and great 8-bit music, and funny too!”
“Combined with that music, that pumping music.”
“My only real complaint is the lack of variety for the music, or at the very least, a somewhat faltering lack of quality.”
“I am not sure if this was a design decision to better emulate the style of old arcades, or perhaps personal preference, but I find that after a while, the music does become droning and repetitive, especially after long play sessions, and I have previously turned it off as a result.”
“Listen to the soundtrack online and just watch bedfellows on YouTube, trust me, you spare yourself a lot of anger and frustration. This is coming from someone who genuinely enjoys challenging and hard games, someone who beat Super Meat Boy 100% and games like God Hand and Devil May Cry 3.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them merely adequate for an arcade-style game, while others appreciate their clarity and nostalgic appeal reminiscent of older titles. However, there are complaints about inconsistencies in quality between different game assets and a desire for more development in the graphical presentation. Overall, while the graphics are smooth, they do not stand out significantly.
“The graphics, while not 3D, are still fantastically clear and nostalgic of the older arcade era, as well as being super smooth.”
“It's a good game in terms of mechanics; I just wish that it had more development in terms of graphics.”
“Other than a few small graphical issues, my only complaint is that the game is too hard.”
“The controls are confusing/difficult to use, graphics are only okay for an arcade-type game, and the overall theme/point of the game is aimless but not in a good way.”
“The graphics and controls are both just okay.”
“It seems like the graphics for the game's assets and the comic/web series are different in terms of quality.”

The game's story is a nostalgic tribute for fans of the original show and comics, offering exclusive content and fun writing that enhances the experience. While some players hoped for a broader narrative, the game effectively continues the plot of the series and includes engaging cutscenes, making it a worthwhile interactive story for fans.
“I've been a fan of the show for a long time, and this game is not only a fantastic tribute to one of the most nostalgia-filled, city-smashing romps of all time, Rampage, but it's also a fantastic continuation of the plot of the show.”
“It’s also a way to tell a strong interactive story.”
“The trailer I hoped was suggesting that there was a wider, overarching story here, but sadly that was not the case.”
“It's also got a story and cutscenes.”

The stability of the game is mixed, with some users reporting significant bugs and vague completion requirements, while others experience no glitches at all. Promised updates to address these issues have not consistently been delivered by the developers. Overall, the game's stability appears to vary widely among players.
“This game is a great mix of the web comic and the classic game Rampage. It should get more attention from Rampage fans and those who don't want to spend $50 on a new game. The pros for this game are like a holy mountain of pros; it has no glitches (at least for me), and the download is so fast that it takes about 1 minute to download the files.”
“The stability of this game is impressive; I haven't encountered any bugs or crashes during my playtime, which makes for a smooth gaming experience.”
“I appreciate how stable this game is. It runs seamlessly on my system without any hiccups, allowing me to fully enjoy the gameplay.”
“It's also very buggy, with updates being promised to fix the game, but not necessarily being given by the devs. Not only that, being able to 100% the game is uncomfortably difficult for any completionists out there, with very vague explanations of unlocking things besides the power-ups from the card game.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the experience. I've lost progress multiple times due to these stability issues, which is incredibly frustrating.”
“I encountered numerous glitches that disrupted gameplay, and the frequent crashes made it hard to stay engaged. The developers need to prioritize stability in future updates.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a cash grab aimed at a niche audience, particularly fans of furry culture, while some users appreciate the presence of ads.
“Honestly, this was a cash grab for fad furries and teenybopper furries who obsess over the bedfellows comics and cartoons.”
