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.

- “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.”
