Gameplay is characterized by simple yet deep mechanics that make it enjoyable, especially in multiplayer settings. Players appreciate the unpredictability of matches due to the respawn mechanic and the physics-heavy interactions, although some express a desire for more balanced damage mechanics. Overall, it is seen as a fun and accessible party game, despite criticisms regarding its visual appeal and server population.

“The gameplay is fun and physics-heavy.”

“It's the most visually unappealing game I've ever played. The gameplay and content are very basic, and the servers have nearly no people.”
“The gameplay is simple and really exciting, but it lacks depth and variety.”

Players find the emotional experience of the game to be a rollercoaster, with a well-balanced mix of frustration and triumph. The randomness of events can lead to moments that evoke strong feelings, from despair to exhilaration, making for a deeply engaging emotional journey.
“It is amazingly well balanced and still random enough for absurd things to happen, which make you either want to cry and punch your monitor to dust or praise the RNG gods for an insane recovery from a desperate situation.”
