The game features an intriguing concept but suffers from poor optimization, leading to performance issues even on high-end hardware. Despite its low-resolution graphics, it struggles to run smoothly at 4K resolution.
“While this game may look low resolution, it has no optimization and as such didn't run well at 4K on my extremely high-end 5700 XT, 3700X overclocked with high-speed RAM and a platinum power supply.”
“The lack of optimization is evident; even on high-end hardware, the game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate.”
“Despite having a powerful setup, the game is poorly optimized, leading to frequent stutters and crashes.”

The game features appealing graphics but is marred by occasional glitches that detract from the overall experience. Additionally, players have noted that certain mechanics can lead to frustrating moments, particularly when running out of firepower and being unable to progress until a chest unfreezes.
“The game offers some nice graphics, although there are some ugly glitches here and there.”
“From my experience, it seemed more of a hindrance than a feature, as once you're out of firepower, you're stuck until the chest unfreezes.”
