The gameplay is characterized by deep mechanics that are influenced by the map's design, offering a tactical experience despite its simplicity. While the game features various modes and enjoyable mechanics like tarot cards and shields, players desire more variety in levels, weapons, and characters for enhanced longevity. Overall, it provides a fun and addictive experience, particularly for multiplayer sessions, but may not satisfy those seeking extensive gameplay.
- “It has pretty deep mechanics, and the map you are playing on matters because of the strange angles that a lot of the weapons and mechanics work.”
- “With many game modes already available now like: deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the soul, soul reaping, etc. the game's mechanics are simple and work great, with lots of maps, tight controls, and great music too.”
- “If it could use exactly the same gameplay as now, but with some RPG elements such as those found in Castlevania, a side-scroller world with big and open levels, then this game would be even better. I must admit that I expected something like the original platformer Castlevania games at first, but with its differences.”
- “The angel is the funniest, and the commentator sounds like the guy from Honest Trailers: 'Frag 'em all.' All in all, if you want a funny game to play with your mates, this could be a good hour spent, but if you're looking for hours of gameplay, look elsewhere.”
- “There's a surprising amount of tactical gameplay despite its simple game mechanics.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the unique, albeit rough, art style while others feel that the various styles do not blend well together. Despite the aesthetic concerns, the game's visual elements have a certain charm that resonates with fans, particularly those who enjoy its satanic themes. Overall, the artwork is considered average, but it does not detract significantly from the gameplay experience.
- “Maybe it's the rough art style, or rather styles that don’t mesh well, but I have a soft spot for this local deathmatch game where you blast demons (or friends) with holy explosions and shotguns.”
- “I think that it is a shame that this game is not more popular, and I will absolutely recommend it to any friends who I think will have no problem with the satanic aesthetics.”
- “The only problem I have with the game is its aesthetic.”
- “Artwork is so-so, in my opinion.”
- “Maybe it's the rough art style, or rather styles that don’t mesh well.”
