The gameplay is characterized by its engaging physics-based mechanics, which make each shot feel unique and encourage mastery. Players enjoy a blend of tactical elements and a variety of fun weapons and modifications, all supported by a clear user interface. The combination of gravity effects and innovative upgrades adds depth and excitement, enhancing the overall experience.

- “The UI and mechanics are very visually clear.”
- “The effect of gravity alone might've been enough to keep lining up headshots through the gaps of tightly hitbox'd terrain thrilling, but layered on top of that is a mountain of genuinely game-changing mechanics, whether it's an upgrade that makes your shotgun pellets explode, riot shields that necessitate L-shaped approaches, or just a magic ray gun that fires without an arc.”
