The music in the game elicits nostalgia for some players, enhancing the overall experience with its exciting and flashy soundtrack. However, criticism arises from the lack of looping design, causing abrupt transitions between tracks that do not align with the gameplay, leading to a disjointed audio experience. Overall, while the soundtrack is praised for its quality, its implementation in the game leaves room for improvement.
- “I am so happy... Bullet is my favorite TTG... when I heard the music, I felt so nostalgic.”
- “The soundtrack is excellent, really adding to a feeling of excitement in every game.”
- “It's flashy, the music is great, and satisfying to play.”
- “The music that level 99 commissioned for the bullet board game works great as a 3-minute timer at a table, but it doesn't work in this game.”
- “First, the music wasn't designed to loop, so the music just sort of randomly jumps between different tracks every three minutes.”
- “Second, the music pretty much never correlates with what's actually happening on screen; every game mode, character, and so on uses the exact same 3-minute tracks.”

The gameplay features unique mechanical twists that differentiate it from the board game, offering a solid core experience centered around action points and pattern matching. However, the presentation is minimal, and issues arise with poorly explained boss mechanics and inconsistent countdown timers, leading to confusion during combat. Additionally, character differentiation is limited, as most feel similar despite minor variations in their abilities.
- “The core gameplay is still solid - spend action points to line up bullets and match patterns using the characters' special abilities, and replacing the 3-minute timer from the board game with a constant 'periodic shots' works okay for a score attack mode.”
- “The mechanics of various boss fights are both poorly explained and also don't update their countdown timers correctly; for example, 'that which points' needs to be damaged in 3-action combos or it heals and throws the damage back, but sometimes it retaliates after only 2 actions, sometimes it retaliates even when a combo lands and there's no damage for it to heal. The countdown timer telling you how many actions are left in the combo is never correct, and things that cost 0 action points are still considered 'spending action points' and count against your combo.”
- “Most characters feel the same even with small tweaks to their mechanics.”
- “Presentation is a little bare bones but it's got some unique mechanical twists to set it apart from the board game, plus it's a convenient way to play classic score attack as well.”

- “The graphics are outdated and lack detail, making the overall experience feel less immersive.”
- “Character models look bland and animations are stiff, which detracts from the overall visual appeal of the game.”

The optimization of the game is primarily appealing to players familiar with the physical version, as it offers a more streamlined experience and enhances character interactions, reducing the need for manual input.
- “Honestly, the main reason to get this game so far is if you played the physical version and want it to be more optimized and less manual, providing a different feel for the characters you're used to.”
