The gameplay is generally praised for being enjoyable and engaging, standing out as the only redeeming quality in an otherwise poorly executed retro-style FPS. However, the overall experience is marred by a lack of polish and coherence in other aspects of the game.
“In the end, this is an awful, unpolished, and just hastily put together 'retro' style FPS that has nothing going for it but good gameplay.”
“Pop music in style (mystery) and nice gameplay.”

The graphics have been criticized for their poor resolution and lack of options, leading to a frustrating experience that can even induce motion sickness in players. Additionally, the absence of features like autosaves and health pickups further detracts from the overall visual experience.
“Visuals that can actually make a player sick in no time; this one can do it.”
“Bad resolution, bad mouse controls, no autosaves, no health pickups, no graphical options, no options at all in fact except sound.”
