The gameplay is characterized by good mechanics but suffers from significant issues, including limited weapon options and poor hit detection. Players report feeling overpowered, with a lack of challenge despite facing multiple enemies, and overall, the content is deemed insufficient for a full game experience.
“Good mechanics, seems to be abandoned though.”
“Good gore, but the gameplay is pretty bad.”
“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.”
“Good gore, pretty bad gameplay.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered subpar, with users expressing dissatisfaction across various visual elements, except for the full body, volumetric damage modeling, which received some praise. Overall, the visual presentation is viewed as lacking in quality compared to other aspects of the game.
“The only things I don't like right now are the graphics and blood.”
“With the exception of the full body, volumetric damage modeling, everything about this game, absolutely everything, is way below par: control, graphics, UI, sound, look and feel, weapons, physics.”

The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs affecting gameplay, such as disappearing bodies after kills. Many users feel it is not yet ready for play and view their purchases more as support for the developers rather than a completed product. However, there is optimism about its potential for improvement in the future.
“This game is still very buggy in its current state. 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 it still has a lot of potential.”

“The sound effects are great, but the background music is forgettable.”

The monetization aspect of the game appears to be tied to weapon mechanics, with players noting that hip-firing is largely ineffective except for shotguns, suggesting a potential push towards purchasing better weapons or upgrades. Overall, the monetization strategy may encourage players to invest in improving their combat effectiveness.

While the game's gore effects are highly praised, many users note that it currently requires performance optimization to enhance overall gameplay experience.
“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.”
