The gameplay is criticized for being laggy and buggy, with a low frame rate of 20 fps and minimal interactive content, amounting to only three minutes of actual gameplay. Players primarily explore a military base without engaging in substantial gameplay mechanics, leading to the perception that it functions more as a tech demo than a fully realized simulator.

- “It's laggy, buggy, runs at 20 fps, and there's a total of 3 minutes of gameplay.”

- “While downloading, I checked the gameplay on YouTube; it seemed alright, but it's more of a tech demo/digital display of the DF-41 than a simulator game.”
