The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its unique mechanics and engaging shooting elements that enhance both large-scale battles and tense moments. However, others criticize it for being stale and plagued by issues like poor hit detection, suggesting that players might find better experiences in alternative titles. Overall, while there are moments of fun and replayability, the gameplay's execution leaves much to be desired.
“The game brought me to tears multiple times, and the gameplay is unlike anything before it.”
“Underpinning that engrossing narrative is an excellent set of shooting mechanics, which -- combined with fun mechanics and plenty of guns -- makes for thrilling action in both the massive set pieces and in the quiet, confined corridors of tense sequences.”
“The shooting mechanics are some of the most fine-tuned and realistic seen within the last 12 years.”
“I would recommend you just make a few sacrifices and play the 2015 remake Crazy Chickens Moorhun: Invasion or better yet avoid this franchise altogether and try something like Starfence: Heroic Edition which has additional mechanics in the form of tower defense elements while keeping the twitch shooter mechanics mostly intact.”
“Overall this game is very stale and a boring shooter with broken shooting mechanics and horrible hit detection.”
“No brain relaxed gameplay.”

While some users note that the resolution is limited to 800x600 and the visuals may feel dated compared to contemporary standards, the overall aesthetic is considered lovely and fitting for the game's genre.

“The blurry and already poor graphics, the constant crashing and distortion of the graphics, colors, and sounds when alt-tabbing out of the game make it a frustrating experience.”
“Graphics belong in 1997, though it was created between 2000-2003.”
“Graphically, the game looks okay for a 2003 title, but it still feels outdated.”
