The music in the game is described as highly repetitive and maddening, leading many players to wish for the option to turn it off entirely. While some find the shop's cute song charming, the overall consensus is that the incessant loop detracts from the gameplay experience. Players recommend muting the music to enjoy the game more fully, especially in a multiplayer setting.
“If you followed my advice, you will forever think that cute song playing at the shop is neat, and not the equivalent of a song quieting down as your GPS announces some distractions ahead.”
“You can't shut off the very repetitive music, the enemies seem to single out one player over the other, and the easiest difficulty is actually still pretty hard.”
“But there is one problem, and that is the never-ending maddening loop of music that never stops.”
“Worth it for a fun time with friends if you're just in the mood for shooting and not a lot of scooting... just turn off the in-game music for the love of god.”

The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that appeal to casual players, though some users note an imbalance in loot and cash rewards. While the game features quirky guns with unique mechanics that players can master, there is a sentiment that it could offer more depth. Overall, it is considered solid with minimal bugs, making for an enjoyable experience.
“I feel like this game could offer more, but it's a solid game with great mechanics, and not a lot of bugs.”
“The guns are quirky; you'll learn their neat mechanics over time, but get handy with that first revolver.”
“And actually, it's exactly what we were looking for, as my wife prefers games with simple game mechanics.”
“The latter also breaks the loot/cash mechanics, as you're constantly getting 2-3 times as much money as intended.”
“You'll realize the game has now been saying its name via gameplay to you, only for you to realize the character is confusing and unengaging.”
“The guns are quirky; you'll learn their neat mechanics over time, but getting accustomed to the first revolver can be challenging.”

Users report significant optimization issues, particularly in co-op mode, where performance deteriorates over time, dropping from 90fps to as low as 24fps. This persistent bug severely impacts the gameplay experience.
“The major bug that I really have an issue with and combat every time I play is how performance gets progressively worse.”
“In co-op, regardless of if I host or join, my performance slowly crawls down to 24fps after starting at 90.”
