The game's story is generally considered basic and unremarkable, with a mission structure that offers progression but lacks depth and originality. While some players appreciate the satisfying gameplay loop and the visual presentation of the plot, most agree that the narrative is not the main draw, and it feels more like a backdrop to the loot-driven mechanics. Overall, the story is functional but fails to stand out in a crowded genre.
“The story is pretty good so far, but I doubt people will play this for the story.”
“Did the first mission and I was shocked at how good it was!”
“I commend it for actually having a story progression and not being a rogue-anything, but it's nevertheless as milquetoast as it can possibly get in this day and age.”
“The plot presentation is what you'd expect for a game in this price tier; apart from the animated intro, it is mostly in-game cutscenes or 2D art (but it is pretty nice to look at).”
“- it's got a mix of Diablo's loot system, Warframe's mission structure, and Destiny's light level attached to weapons that all blend together in a semi lack of identity.”

The gameplay is generally solid, featuring fluid combat mechanics that allow for seamless transitions between melee and ranged attacks, as well as a unique active reload system. However, players note a lack of innovative features and interesting mechanics, leading to a sense of repetitiveness after a few hours. While the game performs well on platforms like the Steam Deck, issues such as hard-to-read subtitles and minor bugs detract from the overall experience.
“Solid shooting mechanics, ton of replay-ability, good performance on the Steam Deck.”
“Again: system and gameplay-wise, the release is rock solid.”
“Combat flows quite well, with a fluid switch between melee and your two weapons as well as the different skills; low HP enemies can be finished (keyboard 'F'), which seems to net a higher chance of either currency loot or health pickups. There is a mild active reload, as well as your standard dodge/dash and a 'combo' rating, and thankfully no ammo pickup system; ammo is managed only via your reload and you can't run out of ammo.”
“There are no interesting mechanics: you run backwards, shoot, chop, dodge, complete the mission, change/improve equipment - and start over.”
“Bugs and general gameplay issues I can totally understand and forgive from an EA title, but being lazy when it comes to what the characters say, and leaving in blatant spelling and grammar issues?”
“I can't say anything bad about the game, it's not bad at all and I gave a thumbs up, but there is no special feature, something that makes me stay after 3 hours of gameplay.”

“The prerequisite electronic music is dull, leaving you wondering if there was even music at all.”
