    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing it for being boring and overly simplistic, relying heavily on memorization and repetitive level runs. While the retro aesthetic and dark humor are appreciated, many feel that the lack of diverse mechanics, such as a jump feature, limits the overall experience. However, some players enjoy the straightforward nature of the gameplay, finding it engaging despite its flaws.

    • “I get my good brand of juvenile humor I expect from Retro Army, but like any Retro Army game, I also get the seeping dark undertones that add a twist to the gameplay.”
    • “On normal and above, there is a poison mechanic that comes into play.”
    • “The gameplay feels fine overall; I like how simple things are.”
    • “Ugly retro pixel graphics, terrible gameplay.”
    • “[*] boring gameplay (sorry but that’s being honest)”
    • “It could have used more mechanics to make the play more lively; for example, if there were hazards that could only be avoided by jumping (there is no jump mechanic in the game, which does make the decision-making process when running a lot simpler than it otherwise could have been).”

    The graphics of the game are polarizing, with some players appreciating the classic pixel art style while others criticize it as ugly and outdated compared to modern 3D graphics. Overall, the visuals cater to fans of retro aesthetics but may not satisfy those seeking contemporary graphical fidelity.

    • “Fast game with modern-day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on.”
    • “Pixelated graphics are always welcome.”
    • “Ugly retro pixel graphics, terrible gameplay.”
    • “You can play free MMOs like Rift or Guild Wars 2 with 3D graphics, or you can pay $4.50 for this junk.”
    • “I recommend this game to gamers that are mostly into classic pixel graphics dungeon crawlers that basically don't mind the twist in the gameplay.”
  • humor2 mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by a blend of juvenile comedy typical of retro army titles, complemented by darker undertones that enhance the gameplay experience. Additionally, there is a sense of self-awareness in the humor, suggesting that the game acknowledges its own shortcomings.

    • “I get my good brand of juvenile humor I expect from Retro Army, but like any Retro Army game, I also get the seeping dark undertones that add a twist to the gameplay.”
    • “It's able to realize its own inadequacies (at least I hope it was self-aware humor).”
  • story1 mentions

    The story aspect of the game allows players to take a moment to strategize and plan their next moves, providing a sense of control and immersion in the narrative. This feature enhances the overall experience by enabling players to engage with the plot at their own pace.
