The gameplay is a standard side-scrolling beat 'em up reminiscent of classics like Double Dragon and Streets of Rage, featuring mechanics such as punching, kicking, and weapon pickups. While some players find it fun and engaging due to the variety of enemy attacks and tactical elements, others criticize it for being slow and repetitive. Overall, it offers enjoyable beat 'em up action, but may lack depth for some players.
“This game has all those mechanics that I loved... you could grab the enemies, you could run and hit them, you could pick guns... enemies have different attacks that when mixed will really push you to kill some first before others and other tactics... so... let me tell you guys: the beat 'em up part is there and is really fun to play!”
“The gameplay is okay if you're a fan of standard side scrollers and beat 'em ups. If you play games like Double Dragon or Streets of Rage, you can punch, kick, and pick up weapons to attack enemies with.”
