The game features a unique time travel mechanic that adds depth and variety to gameplay, making it engaging and fun, especially when playing with friends.
Movement mechanics are smooth and rewarding, allowing players to execute fast-paced maneuvers and maintain speed during combat, reminiscent of popular titles like Titanfall 2.
Despite being in early access, the game offers a good selection of weapons and gameplay options, providing a solid foundation for future development and improvements.

The game suffers from numerous bugs and glitches, which can disrupt gameplay and lead to frustrating experiences, such as being stuck outside the map or encountering balance issues with weapons.
Graphics and overall presentation are lacking, with many assets appearing to be borrowed from asset stores, leading to a sense of insincerity in the game's development.
Player engagement is extremely low, with very few active players, making it difficult to find matches and diminishing the overall multiplayer experience.

The gameplay of the game is characterized by fast-paced movement mechanics, including sliding, wall-running, and a unique time-warping feature that sets it apart from others in the genre. While the mechanics show great potential and offer an enjoyable experience, balancing them alongside a diverse array of weapons presents challenges, particularly given the presence of bugs. Overall, players find the game to be a fun and original arena shooter with engaging mechanics.
- “A fun and fast-paced movement shooter with creative use of time-warping mechanics!”
- “Time traveling is an interesting mechanic; it makes the game very distinct.”
- “Overall, Cyclic Warriors is an enjoyable movement-based FPS game with some really fun mechanics.”
- “The game has mechanics to go fast like slide, wall run, and time travel, but at the same time we are rather slow with them.”
- “It requires far too much work to balance such a game-changing mechanic alongside a large variety of guns, on top of the bugs, so I simply do not think that this game can work without a decent-sized development team.”
- “I got 1 real player in deathmatch against me; it was really fun, but the bots weren't (all) horrible though, they have an understanding of the intended game mechanics.”

The graphics of the game are generally well-received, with some players noting impressive visuals and motion blur, while others point out that they appear to be sourced from asset stores and are still basic due to the game's early development stage. Despite a few bugs, the overall aesthetic and weapon graphics contribute positively to the gameplay experience.
- “The graphics and motion blur were great, the guns were cool, the bots were well coded, overall great game.”
- “Very fun shooter with bots, guns are fun to use and enjoy the graphics.”
- “Second, the weapon selection is off the charts good, seems a lot of work has already been done to make weapons unique, have their own reload speed and capabilities, nice reload graphics -- making this game fun even in early access!”
- “The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are 'borrowed' from asset stores or wherever.”
- “There are a few bugs and the graphics are still quite basic, but that's to be expected for a game so early in development.”
- “The graphics could be better.”

Players find the game highly replayable due to its multiple maps that offer diverse climbing and wall-running opportunities, as well as the innovative time travel mechanic that enhances the experience without the drawbacks of larger maps.

- “Every time I play, I discover new strategies and tactics, making each session feel unique and rewarding.”

- “After finishing the main storyline, I found that the side quests were repetitive and didn't add much to the overall experience.”
