The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the fun mechanics and tactical elements introduced by the "morphing" feature, while others criticize the game for being unpolished, lacking clear instructions, and suffering from mechanical flaws that hinder enjoyment. Many find the gameplay uninteresting and frustrating due to issues like control detection and broken mechanics, which detract from the overall experience despite a potentially engaging sci-fi premise. Overall, while there are moments of enjoyment, the execution leaves much to be desired.
- “+ the 'morphing' mechanic adds another element to the twitch shooting mechanics of the typical top-down shooter, and makes it more of a tactical affair.”
- “Gameplay with each drone takes on a different tone, as the special powers of each, as well as their speed, range, and attack power, make for a diverse experience.”
- “+ classic gameplay -- underneath all the fancy bloom effects and explosions, it's still a classic shooter at its core.”
- “The gameplay idea is fine and the story premise is somewhat interesting, but otherwise this game is too rough and unpolished.”
- “It's only minor, but in a game this well constructed and challenging, suddenly freezing in the open or shooting straight past because your input seems to stop being detected for a moment can be devastating in gameplay.”
- “It is the mechanical flaws and overall lack of any sense of why you should bother with this that killed it for me within the first 10 minutes.”
