The gameplay of "Cyclic Warriors" is characterized by its fast-paced movement mechanics, including sliding, wall-running, and a unique time travel feature that sets it apart from other shooters. While the mechanics show great potential and offer an enjoyable experience, balancing the innovative time travel with a diverse array of weapons presents significant challenges, suggesting the need for a robust development team to address bugs and gameplay balance. Overall, players find the game to be a fun and distinct addition to the movement-based FPS genre.
- “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, wallrun, 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.”
- “Mechanics have lots of potential.”

The graphics of the game are generally better than expected, though some elements appear to be sourced from asset stores, leading to a somewhat basic overall aesthetic. While the motion blur and weapon graphics are praised, there are still bugs and room for improvement, especially considering the game's early development stage. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the fun gameplay experience, particularly with the diverse weapon selection.
- “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.”

The game offers high replayability due to its multiple maps that feature extensive verticality and wall-running mechanics, enhanced by a time travel element that creates a sense of larger environments without the drawbacks of slower-paced exploration.
- “There are a couple of maps, but they have so much replayability with all the surfaces being able to be climbed or wall-run along. The time travel feature makes them feel twice as big without the slowness of larger maps.”
- “The game lacks meaningful content to keep players engaged after the initial playthrough, making it feel repetitive quickly.”
- “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to return, as the side quests feel uninspired and the world doesn't change.”
- “The limited variety in gameplay mechanics and objectives leads to a lack of replayability, making each session feel like a chore.”
