The gameplay is characterized by a repetitive loop of shooting enemies and collecting temporary upgrades, lacking permanent progression and a sense of accomplishment. While it features enjoyable movement mechanics and a retro aesthetic reminiscent of classic shooters, players note issues such as limited enemy variety and connectivity problems in multiplayer. Overall, the game offers a fun but shallow experience with potential for improvement.
“A fun low-poly retro shooter with some rogue-lite mechanics.”
“The game offers a very strong gameplay loop with satisfying movement and a great aesthetic that ultimately gets a little shaky as some of the cracks reveal themselves: a lack of enemy variety, enemy spawn issues, and a need for some simple quality of life adjustments to name a few.”
“(+) I like what you did with the mid-gameplay map progress; you are rewarded for spending currency with additional weapons, upgrades, and even an item shop later.”
“You're just running around shooting mobs and collecting upgrades only for that run. There is no permanent progression to earn; it's just mindless and repetitive gameplay with no real sense of accomplishment because every run resets all your collected upgrades.”
“There is a shocking and extreme lack of creativity here from the title to the design to the gameplay.”
“It's not exactly groundbreaking gameplay, but it can be just something to kill some time with.”

Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's charm, despite some minor shortcomings.
“Best 5 dollars ever spent! 10/10 video game, love the graphics too.”
“The game is essentially a COD Zombies game mixed with retro FPS graphics and gameplay, including having multiple weapons and bunny hopping for faster movement.”
“The retro aesthetic looks interesting, even though there are only a few maps.”

The game's replayability is criticized for being limited, primarily due to a lack of diverse power-ups—fewer than 20—which are randomly assigned, preventing players from crafting specific builds. This randomness diminishes the incentive to replay, making it feel less engaging for a roguelite title.
“I really wanted to give it a positive review, but for a roguelite, there is practically nothing to make you want to stay replay value-wise.”
“The only thing that gives this game replay value is the power-ups, but it doesn't offer much considering there are few of them (under 20, I believe) and you get them randomly, so you can't create a specific build with them.”

The music in the game is generally well-liked, though some players find it overpowering, making it difficult to hear other audio elements. There is some confusion regarding the originality of the soundtrack, with players questioning whether it features original compositions or not.
“I like the music, but I guess there's no original OST, or is it partially original?”
“I couldn't hear him properly over the music.”
“The music is repetitive and gets annoying after a while.”
“The soundtrack feels out of place and doesn't match the game's atmosphere.”
