The game's story is generally praised for its engaging and interesting narrative, often compared to popular titles like Cyberpunk 2077. However, players express frustration with the pacing and difficulty of missions, particularly in later stages, where the grind for resources and the need for in-game purchases can detract from the overall experience. Many hope for more story content and improvements to mission balance to enhance enjoyment.
“The story is interesting and really keeps you entertained.”
“It's a great game, the story and how it expands as you play is really nice.”
“This game has its own unique story.”
“The storyline is actually so similar that there doesn't seem to be enough originality to keep me wanting to play.”
“Progressing in the story is way too difficult.”
“The game is no joke not made for free to play players like me... I tried my best at this game but it's nearly impossible to clear the missions... the missions keep getting harder... and the rewards are nowhere close to the missions, which leaves us with only option which is to pay for the equipment.”

The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many players praising the detailed visuals, aesthetic appeal, and smooth performance. However, some users noted issues with lag on lower-end devices and suggested improvements in graphic settings for better accessibility. Overall, while the graphics are considered a strong point, there are calls for enhancements in gameplay mechanics and balance to complement the visual experience.
“The graphics are awesome, movement feels good, I like the character customization and inventory management, finding stuff in the world to build upgrades and equipment.”
“The visuals are amazing, very 1980s synthwave, I love it!”
“The game is amazing; the feel, the aesthetic, and the graphics could be more detailed, but other than that, it's great.”
“The icon of this game is very good but nothing in it; bad graphics, cars look like trash... most of all there are no customization options.”
“Grim soul and LDOE combined... the graphics are bad, really bad. No sneak attack and we can't interact with the world.”
“You can't reload your gun while moving. Holy molly, this game takes everything from its predecessors and takes it 10 steps back. The graphics are mediocre.”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, with many players appreciating the graphics and overall mechanics but criticizing the repetitive nature and difficulty spikes, particularly around level 16. Common complaints include excessive grinding, punishing item durability, and a perceived pay-to-win model that detracts from the experience. While some find the gameplay enjoyable and engaging, others feel it is marred by frustrating mechanics and a lack of balance, leading to a tedious experience.
“Love the mood, design, and the overall gameplay!”
“Enjoyable gameplay and mechanics.”
“The gameplay is fun.”
“Pretty terrible that the game unexpectedly ramps up the difficulty at level 16 and you're forced to grind the same 2 boring levels. The gameplay is boring, the weapons are boring, the travel in between areas is boring. You have limited space in your inventory, so you have to keep traveling back to your place in between the same 2 boring levels. They want $3 to add 1 more spot to your inventory, but the game sucks, so why would you pay for it?”
“The addition of full roguelike mechanics, losing all your inventory items when you die, is bad enough, but allowing an out from that mechanic via a microtransaction is inexcusable.”
“The gameplay gets repetitive and not fun.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players finding it excessively tedious and unbalanced. Many reviewers express frustration over the rapid degradation of equipment, the necessity to grind for resources to repair items, and the overall lack of rewarding progression, often leading to a pay-to-win scenario. While some players appreciate the potential of the game, they feel that the grinding detracts significantly from the enjoyment and gameplay experience.
“The game has potential, but is a big pay to play; can't even get past the first area without investing real money or spending months grinding level 1, only to lose everything the second you die.”
“All gear and weapons break down way too fast, and you're constantly grinding for resources.”
“The game is good till level 16; afterwards, the difficulty increases and grinding doesn't yield good rewards, and the durability of equipment decreases much faster.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as predatory and overly aggressive, with many players labeling it a "cash grab." Users express frustration over the reliance on in-app purchases and the difficulty of progressing without spending money, often feeling compelled to watch ads for rewards that sometimes fail to deliver. While some appreciate the absence of intrusive ads, the overall sentiment is that the game's economy is poorly balanced, making it challenging for free-to-play users to enjoy the experience.
“The game offers microtransactions but it doesn't hit you over the head with them.”
“Also, it's important to say that this game has no ads which is incredibly kind of the developers.”
“I do not like microtransactions but I do like what this game could become.”
“This game is saturated with predatory monetization.”

The music in the game has received widespread acclaim, particularly for its engaging 80's synthwave and retrowave soundtrack, which enhances the overall atmosphere and immersion. Many players express a desire for additional features, such as a jukebox to enjoy the music outside of gameplay and more diverse tracks from various synthwave artists. However, some critiques mention that while the music is superb, the game's balance and monetization strategies detract from the overall experience.
“I love the 80's synthwave/retrowave music!”
“The music is amazing, definitely recommend headphones.”
“Very interesting game, one of the rare gems in modern society, a game that not only has a great soundtrack but truly lives up to the retro vibe with modern touches.”
“It's a new mobile game type that I like, but the sound design is terrible. I like the music scoring from LDOE; maybe it's a good idea if you fix the music scoring and the sound design.”
“Loved it! The plot is perfect for a cyberpunk game, the roguelike elements are strong, and dying has an impact. However, the music, although synthwave, is not very good synthwave.”
“But please can you include a feature where you can be granted access to our storage (music file) so that when drinking or during the game, our song is playing.”

The atmosphere of the game is widely praised, with many reviewers highlighting its impressive graphics, immersive settings, and effective music that enhance the overall experience. The cyberpunk aesthetic is particularly noted for its unique vibe and engaging storytelling, contributing to a captivating environment that players find hard to resist. However, some players express concerns about gameplay mechanics that detract from the enjoyment, suggesting a need for balance in the game's design.

“The art and atmosphere are spot on and the music is amazing.”
“The cyberpunk atmosphere and story are great, a breath of fresh air.”
“I love the setting, atmosphere, and environment; other than that, I can find better ways to apply my time and feel much better rewarded.”
“Okay, so currently I'm at the beginning, level 12 to be exact, and well, it's alright. Though the problem is that the game is always the same. The condition of the guns decreases way too fast, and the parts are easy to come by unless you cough up some money. There has to be a balance between F2P players and P2P players; otherwise, this game might go downhill. But I'm loving the cyberpunk aesthetic and atmosphere... just please fix the condition problem on the guns and clothing; it breaks too fast.”

The game's stability is frequently criticized due to various glitches and bugs, including freezing issues, character duplication, and unexpected teleportation.

“I really like the game; it has great concepts and runs smoothly on low-optimized phones.”
“And then you updated and ruined the experience... the update brought ad watching for rewards which is good except half the time I watch ads and the game freezes, then returns sans reward.”
“After finishing character creation and moving in any direction, the game freezes, goes back to a loading screen, and flashes the main menu for a split second, teleporting me to an unknown apartment as a bald naked man regardless of what skin or gender I chose.”
“The game glitches out after traveling to a designated location and I end up back in my apartment even if I skip travel time.”

The humor in the game is highlighted as a significant strength, with players enjoying its funny moments and engaging storyline. The absurdity of certain situations, like players waiting to reload before shooting each other, adds to the comedic experience, making it a fun and entertaining title overall.
“I had to review this game; it's fun, funny, action-packed, with upgrades, a good storyline, and even free roam—minus the driving part. The only con for me is when you die, you lose everything you got, and I mean they will literally leave you naked, lol. Nothing! 😆 But besides that, it's a 10-star rated game.”
“And there's one silly thing: imagine waiting for each other to reload without cover and then starting to shoot each other again. That's just funny.”
“I will say that lots of effort was put into this game for a clone, and the story is actually funny and engaging.”
