The game offers a fun and chaotic local multiplayer experience that is best enjoyed with friends.
It features beautiful animations, fantastic music, and fast-paced gameplay with a surprising amount of depth.
The single-player missions serve as a good introduction to the game's mechanics and can be enjoyable for those who like short challenges.

The game lacks content and can become repetitive quickly, with many players feeling it doesn't hold their interest for long.
It is heavily reliant on local multiplayer with no online options, making it less accessible for those without multiple controllers or friends nearby.
Controls are unresponsive on PC, particularly for keyboard and mouse users, which can lead to a frustrating experience.

The game's story aspect is primarily focused on its single-player component, which consists of 30 missions that serve as a training ground for multiplayer gameplay. Players engage in various mission types, including target practice and platforming challenges, but the overall narrative is minimal, with no traditional campaign. While the missions are enjoyable and provide a good introduction to the game's mechanics, they are largely seen as a prelude to the multiplayer experience.
- “The solo missions do a great job of easing you into the game's mechanics while not bogging you down in tutorials.”
- “Beating modes with ranks C or above means moving onto the next set of missions (eventually resulting in alternate stage layouts), B and above means alternate costumes, A and S rank means concept art.”
- “While I had fun with the single player missions, I see them more as a training exercise for the multiplayer mode.”
- “There's no single player campaign, just a couple of training and challenge missions.”
- “Well meh :/ this is a PC game, not a console game. Not many people play with friends on the couch in PC games. Who has a couch in front of a PC anyway? No online multiplayer, no bots, no single player campaign except target practice missions, etc.”
- “While Capsule Force does have some single player missions, for the most part, the game is a multiplayer experience.”

The graphics of the game feature a charming blend of retro and anime-inspired designs, which many players find appealing and cute. While the visuals are generally considered decent, they lack depth and variety, with limited content available to explore. Overall, the art style is praised for its groovy aesthetic, contributing positively to the game's enjoyable multiplayer experience.
- “The art style is very cute and I greatly support the people at the previously mentioned podcast.”
- “Graphics are groovy and the gameplay is totally tubular.”
- “It has an appealing art style and the controls feel very fluid and responsive.”
- “Bad visuals based on anime design combined with retro and space.”
- “Graphics are okay but nothing special, and there is very little content. In 15-20 minutes, you will see most of it; there are some unlocks, new layouts, skins, and concepts, but unfortunately, they don't add much to the game.”
- “Capsule Force is an indie competitive local multiplayer action game by Klobit with retro graphics.”
