The gameplay of the game is praised for its unique mechanics and engaging design, drawing inspiration from titles like Alien Soldier while establishing its own identity.

Despite some initial overwhelm from the variety of mechanics, the game is accessible and fun, featuring a distinctive art style and a compelling soundtrack that enhance the overall experience.
- “While this seems simple at first, the game actually takes these movement mechanics pretty far with a few short platforming sections and some bosses, with one boss fight taking place upside down, and another one being a race.”
- “Great, unique art style, bumpin' FM OST, and incredibly fun gameplay that has you see yourself improving every run you do.”
- “Disaster Arms is a fast-paced run 'n gun that blends fun and challenging arcade-style gameplay with a very unique and beautiful cartoonish artwork.”
- “Things I didn't like were: the gravity mechanic was a bit too confusing at times.”
- “It’s not uncommon for a quick and invincible get-out-of-jail free card such as a roll or teleport to degrade the core gameplay experience, but while you certainly can design a game intelligently around a tool as powerful as this, its absence simply opens up the possibility of other distinctive gameplay qualities emerging.”
- “A similar mechanic exists in disaster arms, but the balance has totally flipped.”
