Visually stylish with a captivating neon aesthetic that immerses players in a hacker-themed environment.
Offers a solid introduction to hacking mechanics and character customization, with a promising storyline that intrigues players.
Runs smoothly with good optimization, providing a fun experience for those interested in cyber security and tactical gameplay.

Short playtime leaves players wanting more content, as the prologue feels more like an advertisement for the full game rather than a standalone experience.
Gameplay suffers from bugs and AI issues, including pathfinding problems and unresponsive squad commands, which can lead to frustrating experiences.
The tutorial can be confusing and lacks clarity, making it difficult for players to grasp the mechanics and objectives effectively.

The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for being essentially an advertisement disguised as a game, misleading players into downloading and launching it under false pretenses. Reviewers argue that this practice detracts from genuine game developers and harms the gaming community by cluttering platforms with non-gaming content. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as exploitative, with a strong recommendation against spending money on such misleading offerings.
- “If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on YouTube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, with players appreciating the tactical elements and the freedom to choose paths and strategies. However, some criticisms arise regarding limited AI capabilities, lack of waypoint customization, and the difficulty of tutorial missions. Overall, while the gameplay is solid and enjoyable, there are areas for improvement to enhance player experience.
- “Working, fun, and it explains the game mechanics really well.”
- “I really like what I have seen so far in terms of the setting and the overall gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is solid, and I love that the developers have allowed players to decide which paths to take, how much CPU to allocate into scanning the area, and the types of stances your squad will take (from stealth to aggressive).”
- “This is a cool game being a tactical operator support for a tactical team, although I have a few issues regarding the gameplay. First, we don't have the ability to set up our own waypoints anywhere on the map to creatively approach an objective or take down enemies or threats. This presents a problem for me during gameplay. Second, the abilities of the tactical team are too limited and seem unable to cover their own flanks during combat. Perhaps the AI should be programmed with default tactical formations and tactics that ensure their survivability. Having silencers, smoke grenades, frag grenades, CS gas grenades, and flashbangs to create diversions should make a perfect addition. Also, the ability to heal wounded teammates is a plus.”
- “Also, the gameplay was really hard for a tutorial mission.”
- “Not the best, not extremely bad either; gameplay is slightly meddling but I can see where it's coming from.”

- “How to heal them after the mission? This is truly intuitive, but still unclear.”
