"Disassembly 3D: Ultimate Stereoscopic Destruction" is a game that allows you to take apart everyday objects and figure out how they work by removing screws, bolts, and nuts. Once you've disassembled an object, you can switch to weapons mode to destroy it using tools such as shotguns and rocket launchers. The game also features a sandbox mode where you can build structures, spawn in vehicles and weapons, and fight against enemies with full body active ragdoll physics.

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising them as good or even excellent, while others find them basic, blurry, or lacking in detail. Several users noted limitations such as a non-widescreen aspect ratio and the absence of basic graphics settings, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, many agree that the game's fun factor compensates for its graphical shortcomings.
“The graphics and the texture are good 10/10”
“Really great game and I love the graphics!!”
“While it has its bugs, doesn't get updated too much, and okay graphics, it's just sooo fun to play around, especially with sandbox mode.”
“This game is unique and fun; however, there are several limitations that inhibit gameplay, including a square aspect ratio (not widescreen friendly), controls that aren't controller compatible (using the mouse is cumbersome), confusing menus, and graphics that are blurry and overall lacking despite being set to max. Additionally, replaying a level requires loading every time, which, while not a long wait, is annoying.”
“Basic graphics settings are missing, but that's fine considering the graphics are extremely basic.”
“Graphics are decent, but not that good.”

The gameplay is described as janky and limited by several factors, including a non-widescreen aspect ratio, cumbersome mouse controls, confusing menus, and blurry graphics. While the game prioritizes fun over mechanical realism and showcases creativity, these issues can detract from the overall experience, particularly with the need to reload levels for replay.

The game's stability is frequently criticized due to numerous glitches and bugs that can disrupt gameplay, particularly in specific levels.

However, there is some optimism as players note that the developers are actively working to address these stability concerns.
“Always glitches out and puts it back into fly mode.”
“Game is good but still has a lot of bugs in it, like the robot level where the robot jumps around a lot and the crane level glitches out, but still it's a fun game.”
“Fun to screw around in once every couple of weeks, but the physics are so buggy at times that I just get too frustrated to return to this game.”

The game lacks a cohesive story or central theme, focusing instead on the mechanics of destruction with guns and explosives after completing levels. Players find the experience to be primarily about dismantling machines rather than engaging with a narrative.
“That's it, there's no story, gimmick, or central theme; it's just you taking apart machines.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, comparing it to the exhausting task of disassembling a complex structure like the Petronas Towers. This sentiment suggests that the grinding mechanics can detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“If you had to back every screw out of the Petronas Towers, it'd get tedious in a hurry.”
“Finally, disassembly can be tedious.”
