The gameplay is described as both punishing and enjoyable, featuring around four hours of play across five levels with solid gunplay reminiscent of seventh-generation FPS games. While some monsters introduce unique mechanics, the game also relies on outdated elements, offering a straightforward experience for players seeking quick action without modern complexities.
“Some of the monsters have additional mechanics, like armor or mandatory weak spots.”
“This has actual gameplay of the seventh generation of FPS games — arenas with monsters teleported into them, and the gunplay is solid.”
“There are about four hours of gameplay, and five big levels assembled from stock assets.”
“I don't feel like this game, in its current state, does that, and clutches on to certain outdated mechanics/mechanisms.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic titles like Doom, while others criticize the visuals as basic and unoriginal, likening them to faux-retro clones. Overall, while the graphics may not be award-winning, they are deemed acceptable for the game's price, with the focus being more on gameplay and atmosphere.
“Shooting, gore, and music are great; level design and visuals are not so great but fine enough for the price.”
“Your only choices are spunkgurgleweewees and disgusting fake faux-retro maga graphics clones of spunkgurgleweewees sold under the pretense of 'old school'.”
“Graphically, it won't win any awards, and the map layouts may seem basic, but occasionally follow the John Romero school of map design, and will loop back onto themselves.”
“The wall graphics and the general game feel likely will remind you of the original Doom.”

The music in the game has been described as generic metal, with some players finding it underwhelming and preferring to replace it with the "Doom" soundtrack for a better experience. While some appreciate the intensity it brings to the gameplay, others feel it detracts from the overall enjoyment, leading to mixed reviews. Overall, the music is seen as passable but not memorable, with a significant number of players opting to mute it in favor of other soundtracks.
“Shooting, gore, and music are great; level design and visuals are not so great but fine enough for the price.”
“Music is overkill-esque metal type stuff, perfectly passable.”
“Music is overkill-esque metal type stuff, perfectly passable, but being a death metal fan, I might turn it off and listen to Butchered at Birth for the rest of my playthrough.”
“Music is 2/10.”
“If you're going to play this game, I highly recommend turning off the in-game music and turning on the Doom 'Rip and Tear' soundtrack; it makes it a tad more enjoyable.”

The game lacks a meaningful story, with players noting it as a simple, gory shooter focused on gameplay rather than narrative. Many reviews emphasize that there is no story to engage with, leading to a score of 0/10 for this aspect.
“And well, it doesn't matter since there's no story anyway.”
“Don't expect astounding miracles of level design, jaw-dropping architecture, or a story; this is a simpler gory shooter where you get to kill monsters minus all the BS and bloat and fluff infesting modern games of this type.”
“Gameplay 6/10 because of Doom... story 0/10 because there is none. If you're going to play this game, I highly recommend turning off the in-game music and turning on the Doom 'Rip and Tear' soundtrack to make it a tad more enjoyable.”

Players express frustration with modern first-person shooters that require excessive grinding for ammo, upgrades, and map navigation, contrasting this with the simpler, more straightforward gameplay of classic titles like Quake and Doom. Many prefer a return to less complicated mechanics that don't involve tedious micromanagement.
“The endless grinding for resources feels more like a chore than a fun gameplay mechanic, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I find myself spending more time grinding for upgrades than actually enjoying the game, which really takes away from the overall experience.”
“The repetitive nature of grinding in this game is exhausting; it feels like I'm just going through the motions without any real sense of progress.”
