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, suggesting the need for a dedicated development team to refine the gameplay further. Overall, players find the combination of movement and time travel mechanics to be innovative and entertaining, making it a distinctive entry in the arena shooter category.
- “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, 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 users noting impressive visuals and motion blur, though there are concerns about the use of borrowed assets and basic graphics due to its early development stage. While the overall aesthetic is enjoyable, there are still bugs and room for improvement. The unique weapon designs and their accompanying graphics add to the fun, enhancing the overall 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 elsewhere.”
- “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.
- “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 encourage replayability; once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to return.”
- “While there are a few maps, they quickly become repetitive, and the novelty wears off after just a few playthroughs.”
- “The limited variety in gameplay mechanics makes replaying the game feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
