The game has a humorous and witty script with amusing voice acting that adds to the entertainment.
It features a rock-solid core gameplay concept reminiscent of classic 2D beat 'em ups and metroidvania styled exploration.
The game is enjoyable and can be fun, with a unique premise and upgrades that enhance character abilities.

Controls are floaty and unpolished, with issues in aiming, jumping, and gamepad responsiveness affecting gameplay quality.
The game suffers from numerous design and technical issues, including frustrating enemy encounters, glitches, unreliable UI and map, and frequent bugs that can break progression.
Combat is overly simple and boring with minimal mechanics, lacking depth and polish, which may cause the game to feel repetitive and unengaging over time.

The music is competent and soothing, contributing to a relaxing atmosphere without being particularly outstanding or memorable.

The graphics are inconsistent, with mismatched art styles between the intro animation, phone conversations, and the 3D game itself, resulting in an overall unappealing visual experience.
- “The art style is all over the place, the intro animation looks terrible, the phone conversations look much different, and both styles are different from the 3D look of the game.”
- “The graphic style is not great to look at either.”
humor

The game features abundant and entertaining humor, starting from a humorous tutorial set in a Star Trek-style holodeck to its Blade Runner-inspired world. Players consistently find it funny and enjoyable, making it a standout aspect even during its testing phase.
- “After learning the basics and completing the humor-filled tutorial (which took place in a giant Star Trek holodeck), you'll be teleported to some sort of Blade Runner city where the rest of the action takes place.”
- “So far I've played a few hours, had a lot of fun as the game is very entertaining and humor is everywhere. I didn't expect such a nice game, that's why I can only recommend it, even if it's still in testing (adding other text languages for instance).”
