Reviews
- The graphics are visually appealing and well-executed, showcasing high-definition textures and a pleasing aesthetic.
- The movement mechanics are fluid, allowing for smooth character control, which is a notable achievement for an indie game.
- The game introduces various elements like hacking and key cards, providing some variation in gameplay despite poor execution.
- The game is criticized for being an asset flip, lacking originality and depth, with many assets taken from other sources without proper development.
- Weapon mechanics are poorly designed, with significant issues in accuracy and recoil, leading players to rely primarily on the pistols.
- Level design is uninspired and often empty, allowing players to bypass enemies and objectives, resulting in a lack of challenge and engagement.

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their breathtaking beauty and high-definition textures, making it one of the standout features. However, some users note inconsistencies, with certain visuals being described as horrendous, suggesting that while significant effort was put into the graphics, other aspects of the game may have been neglected. Overall, the aesthetic appeal is strong, but it comes with a caveat regarding the balance of development focus.
“The graphical art is absolutely breathtaking and beautiful.”
“The game is aesthetically pleasing to look at while playing.”
“The graphics are the part that has the most time invested in them, and that is quite clearly visible. Textures are high definition, and all the characters, environment, and other miscellaneous objects look real. The textures nicely interact with the player model, as do the bullets you fire against enemy characters.”
“Some of the visuals are horrendous.”
“Although the concept is great, the developer has clearly put a lot of time into the graphics department while the others are just not finished; I will elaborate on this in the rest of the review.”
“I don’t mind that indie games usually have worse graphics than AAA games, considering the budget difference.”

The gameplay has been criticized for lacking standard mechanics and design, with specific mention of unrealistic ladder climbing. While there are opportunities for varied enemy approaches, the overall experience is marred by bugs and a lack of enjoyment, indicating that the game has significant room for improvement.
“This can improve the gameplay as you can approach enemies in different ways.”
“Gameplay and most of all enjoyment are much more important than the highest definition textures or the best quality sounds.”
“This is most likely a follow-up project from some Udemy course being sold on Steam for money, which would be fine if it had any resemblance to normal game mechanics and game design.”
“The only movement that didn't look as realistic to do this game real justice was the climbing ladders mechanic.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for being exploitative, with users highlighting a lack of meaningful content and gameplay mechanics, such as infinite ammo for certain weapons, which diminishes the value of in-game resources. Additionally, there are allegations against the developers for unethical practices, including repackaging others' work for profit.
“Valkeala software/blackthug has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
