The gameplay features unique mechanics set in a wild western environment, incorporating elements like revolvers and dynamite. However, players have reported issues such as jittery performance, frustrating safe mechanics, and a desire for a more immersive weapon reloading system. Overall, while there are enjoyable aspects, the gameplay experience is marred by technical shortcomings.
- “Unique gameplay mechanics, wild western setting, revolvers, dynamites, safes!”
- “This game has some great gameplay; however, it would probably benefit from a weapon reloading system where you load the bullets into the gun rather than pressing a button to do it.”
- “Great gameplay but...”
- “Please fix the safe mechanics on level 3, make the controllers vibrate or something to simulate a real safe because that was the most annoying thing I've ever dealt with in VR to date.”
- “Gameplay is jittery.”
- “To be brutally honest, the gameplay reminds me of something I'd see for free on an indie website back when I first got a Vive in 2016.”

- “The graphics are bad.”
