The gameplay starts off slow and somewhat tedious due to limited weapon options, but it becomes more engaging and intense as players unlock additional weapons and learn the mechanics. While the controls can be tricky and some weapons and upgrades feel underwhelming, the game offers a variety of tactics and progression that enhance the overall experience, making it enjoyable for its price.
“This is great due to different gameplay tactics and progression tactics.”
“It has trading cards, (no achievements) but has some fun gameplay that is better than most games I got for this cheap.”
“Not the best gameplay I've ever seen because the controls are quite tricky, but after a while, you learn how this game works and it becomes easier for you to dodge and aim at enemies.”
“Most weapons feel underpowered and upgrades barely have any effect on gameplay, along with most perks as they are completely worthless.”
