The gameplay is characterized by dynamic and frenetic action reminiscent of classic shooters like Doom and Painkiller, featuring a variety of weapons and enemy types. While some players appreciate the engaging mechanics and fast-paced combat, others criticize the minimalist level design and perceived lack of originality, suggesting that the game feels like a collection of borrowed elements. Overall, it offers an interesting experience for fans of the genre, though it may benefit from more depth and variety.
- “The gameplay is very dynamic and interesting.”
- “The game is similar to Painkiller, Doom and overall looks good; the gameplay is well designed for a shooter, the dynamics are there.”
- “The frenetic gameplay really gets your blood pumping, and before too long you'll be swarmed by enough tough monsters that you'll have to strategize and play it on the defensive.”
- “It's a basic Doom ripoff with a minimalist level design and wave survival mechanics as you fight waves of asset flips using asset flip weapons. The developer basically stole a bunch of other people's stuff and wants your money for it.”
- “Also, as you get near death, blood and wounds appear on your field of view, obscuring the gameplay somewhat, and don't fade.”
- “At this point, I wish the developer would stop making these three- or four-level games and put in the effort to make a full-length game, one with larger areas and slightly more diverse gameplay.”
