Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players praising the polished mechanics, addictive nature, and retro style, while others criticize frustrating elements like poor aiming, difficult difficulty spikes, and repetitive levels. Many users feel that the game lacks sufficient guidance and balance, leading to a frustrating experience, especially for newcomers. Overall, while there are enjoyable aspects, significant improvements are needed to enhance the gameplay experience.
- “I almost beat the first map within 30 minutes by myself, after a little learning and gameplay adaptation.”
- “The mechanics are great, great audio and voice over, simple yet nice graphics and most of all some of the most addictive gameplay I've seen in VR for a while.”
- “The gameplay, graphics, and core mechanics are extremely polished.”
- “Maybe the game does have mechanics that I can work with that I'm not seeing, but the game sure hasn't given any hint of that.”
- “Bad graphics and gameplay bullets you fire don't connect half the time, and rookie mode is extremely difficult. Don't buy the game, please save your money.”
- “The whole gameplay consists of standing in one spot in different 'levels' with bad cover (if you can reach it), trying to shoot with your no-aim pistol which doesn't reload, while you constantly hear comments from a narcissistic narrator and receive headshots from the superior AI that will kill you immediately and reset your whole progress to zero (yes, you have to restart the whole game).”

The game's story is minimal and largely revolves around completing a limited number of challenging missions, which can become repetitive and frustrating due to the lack of variety and the need to restart upon failure. Players express a desire for more missions and a deeper narrative, as the current setup feels uninteresting and lacks engaging elements that could enhance the overall experience. While the gameplay offers a fun challenge, the absence of a compelling storyline detracts from its potential enjoyment.
- “The missions are quite a spectacle as well with varied routes, and incredibly challenging to get through even after various attempts.”
- “I can totally imagine if this game had free movement and maybe even a story mode or multiplayer.”
- “Hopefully there are more missions soon.”
- “This game is fun, and I could play it a lot more if it weren't for the fact that there's only 3 missions.”
- “I can't get past the first mission on the easiest difficulty, and while I enjoy challenge in VR shooters, having to do the same uninteresting few minutes of scripted shootout again and again because someone you couldn't see shot off your hat is incredibly frustrating to me.”
- “When you beat it and are finally ready to move on to 'hell', you'll be disappointed to learn that it is the exact same mission in every way, except this time it's one hit and you're dead.”

- “Bad graphics and gameplay bullets you fire don't connect half the time and rookie mode is extremely difficult. Don't buy the game, please save your money.”
- “Targets either soak up bullets or the accuracy and precision is ridiculous; hard to tell as the graphics don't really portray hits.”
- “There is no movement, slow weird loading between scenes, no weapon interaction, low poly graphics, and the whole 'experience' is maybe 30 minutes at the absolute most.”
