The game's story is primarily driven by straightforward mission objectives, with a focus on remaking classic missions from the original Delta Force, resulting in a limited and repetitive narrative experience. While some missions offer slight variations and comedic elements, the overall gameplay lacks depth and compelling storytelling, leading to a quick sense of closure after completion. Players may find enjoyment in the nostalgic elements and co-op missions, but the shallow nature of the single-player content diminishes its long-term appeal.
- “If you want more Delta Force and want to see some of the original missions remade in a new 3D engine, then you will not be disappointed with this game.”
- “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.”
- “This new respawn mechanic makes sense with the increased amount of enemies and the new combat vehicles that are added into the missions.”
- “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.”
- “There are only 20 single-player missions, all of which are remakes from the original Delta Force 1.”

The gameplay of the reviewed game is characterized as a light and humorous arcade FPS that lacks depth and challenge, often feeling incomplete and dated. While it features enjoyable shooting mechanics and some fun moments, it suffers from poor AI, glitches, and a lack of compelling mission design, leading to a mixed experience that is entertaining in short bursts but ultimately underwhelming. Despite its shortcomings, the game offers a unique charm that can make it a worthwhile, albeit fleeting, experience for players.
- “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 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.”
