The gameplay offers comically brutal and engaging couch PvP with simple yet challenging mechanics that are built from the ground up rather than relying on gimmicks. While currently limited in content and affected by bugs, it shows strong potential for entertaining, fast-paced multiplayer combat.
- “One of the appealing things about Chop that ensures it as a long-term entry into a games roster is that it doesn't just take the successful mechanics of other games, or pin its hat on a single gimmick.”
- “While some concepts, such as one hit deaths and short round-based combat, may have been inspired by other games, the mechanics are very much built from the ground up.”
- “Down and dirty since it was just released... this game has a lot of potential, and it feels really, really good, but there are so many bugs (visual, gameplay, round math, etc.) that need to be ironed out, and quickly so we can get back to killing soon.”

The graphics feature a superb cel-shaded art style that stands out as a stylish alternative to typical low-budget 2.5D visuals, complemented by smooth animations and dynamic combat that enhance the overall fun and speed of the gameplay.
- “Superb art style, speedy, snappy combat, great animations, insane amounts of fun”
- “The grizzle cell shading graphics style works well and is a welcome alternative to some of the tackier 2.5D art that you can sometimes get in low budget indie games.”
