The gameplay has been widely criticized for being buggy and lacking depth, with mechanics that feel abandoned and ineffective. Players report issues with weapon functionality, weak hitboxes, and an overall lack of content, making the experience feel unpolished and unbalanced. While some appreciate the gore elements, the consensus is that the gameplay fails to deliver a satisfying experience.
- “Good mechanics, seems to be abandoned though.”
- “Gameplay is buggy and destruction works like 1/10 times.”
- “Just okay, this game features an entire 5 weapons; however, during my gameplay, I literally could not buy one of them no matter how much I tried. The shotgun feels weak, the pistol feels like a peashooter, and hitboxes are less than great. You feel way too powerful in this game; there were multiple points where I was being attacked by upwards of 11 guys and I just could not die.”
- “To be honest, there isn't even enough content or game mechanics for this to be considered a demo.”

- “The graphics are atrocious, and it's not fun to me.”

stability

The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent bugs affecting gameplay and mechanics, such as destruction elements functioning poorly. Many users feel that it is not yet ready for purchase, viewing their support as a donation to the developers rather than a commitment to a polished gaming experience. Despite these issues, there is a consensus that the game has potential if future updates address the existing problems.
- “This game is still very buggy in its current state, and I only bought it to support the devs. I will edit this review as new features and bug fixes are introduced, but right now, this is more of a donation to the devs, and not a game to play in its current state.”
- “Still really buggy, like with the bodies disappearing randomly sometimes right when you kill someone, so I wouldn't buy it right now, but still it has a lot of potential.”
- “Gameplay is buggy and destruction works like 1/10 times.”

The music aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with some users noting the absence of in-game music, which detracts from the overall experience. While the retro-style logo and menu music are appreciated, players feel that a more consistent retro soundtrack could enhance the game's atmosphere significantly. There is a desire for future updates to include a dedicated soundtrack that aligns with the game's aesthetic.
- “Maybe consider adding a soundtrack down the line?”
- “I feel like this could be so much better if you put more of the retro style in the game; your logo and menu music are retro, so why not embrace it?”
- “There is no music in the game, which feels like a missed opportunity.”
- “It would be great to have a soundtrack down the line to enhance the overall experience.”

The game's optimization has shown noticeable improvement over time, with better performance and enhanced gunplay, though it still requires further polishing and content additions. While the gore mechanics are impressive, some users feel that additional performance tweaks are necessary for a smoother experience. Overall, there is potential for the game to become significantly better with continued development.
- “The game has definitely improved over time, and I definitely see a shadow of a good game. It just needs more time and polish. The gore is exceptional now, and the gunplay is a lot better. Performance is better too, but the game still needs more content. If Draking Labs work on this for longer, then it could be a pretty damn good game.”
- “Overall the gore in this game is very impressive (reminding me heavily of Soldier of Fortune 2), but as of right now, it could use some performance tweaking to make the game run well in the future.”
- “The game has definitely improved over time and I definitely see a shadow of a good game; it just needs more time and polish. The gore is exceptional now (though like in SOF2, if you dismember some parts, they go away) and the gunplay is a lot better, and performance is better too, but the game still needs more content. If Drakeing Labs work on this for longer, then it could be a pretty damn good game.”
