The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its polished mechanics, unique weapons, and engaging atmosphere, while others criticize the lack of depth, limited weapon variety, and absence of meaningful progression or grinding opportunities. Overall, while the gameplay is solid and visually appealing, it may feel repetitive and underwhelming for some players.
“Gameplay, atmosphere... everything is masterfully crafted.”
“The gameplay looks solid for now and I enjoyed the cartoony drawings.”
“Well polished UI, unique weapons and interesting mechanics; it's not just some flash game, and it features polished maps and progression.”
“Disappointing because I enjoy the gameplay, but you can't even grind for stuff.”
“There's not even a way to earn the currency to buy items through gameplay.”
“All of the weapons are the same; there are only four weapon packs, and there are literally no new mechanics or game types. It appears like it's just a re-release with the intention to bring back lost players.”

Reviews indicate that the humor in the game falls flat, with many finding the weapon concepts unoriginal and lacking comedic value. Comparisons to "Bad Eggs 2" highlight a failure to capture the same charm, and players criticize the misleading claims about the game's monetization, which detracts from the overall experience.
“They are trying to make Bad Eggs 2 online in modern mode, but they failed because Bad Eggs 2 online is funny in its concept and cannot be upgraded to a modern style.”
“It's funny how they even state in the description that the game isn't pay-to-win, when there are clearly dozens of weapons locked behind donor currency, which is only earned through referring a friend or weekly logins (which still requires at least a month before you can purchase anything useful).”
“The weapon ideas are poorly conceived and lack any real humor.”
“The jokes fall flat and fail to elicit any genuine laughter.”
“The attempts at humor feel forced and often miss the mark.”
