- “Each mission has been tweaked a bit from the original, which was a nice twist; for example, in some missions, you will be riding to the objective on a motorbike or will be dropping in from a parachute.”
- “The original game had 5 campaigns and 40 missions, but they only chose to remake 3 campaigns here.”
- “The single-player missions are solely driven by objectives, providing players with short and not compelling or enjoyable gameplay experiences as they progress through various locations in each level.”

The gameplay of the game is characterized as a light and humorous arcade FPS, featuring unique mechanics like rolling when prone, but ultimately suffers from a lack of challenge and polish. While some players find enjoyment in the shooting mechanics and fun missions, the overall experience is marred by dated elements, incomplete animations, and a lackluster AI that diminishes the challenge. Despite its shortcomings, the game offers a brief, entertaining experience that can be appreciated for its comedic moments and nostalgic references to earlier titles.
- “In gameplay, it's a very light and relaxing arcade FPS with only a decorative layer of military theme.”
- “It's a hilarious one-time experience gameplay-wise that everyone should jump into from time to time, as playing something like this adds so much value to games I thought were even worse until I played this.”
- “The only thing that saves Delta Force: Xtreme from a negative review is the short duration of the playthrough, enjoyable shooting mechanics, and its hilarious moments during gameplay.”
- “The little realism this series had was thrown out the window in favor of just reorganizing the original game's campaigns into a bunch of maps for the player to go wild in, but there's no reason to go wild when the gameplay is this limp and flaccid.”
- “The gameplay experience feels incomplete, lacking polish and appearing dated even for its release period.”
- “The animation work for gameplay is notably incomplete and plagued by glitches, with even the simplest door entrances resulting in unintentional collisions.”
