  • graphics
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the art style and overall visual design, often comparing it to the Borderlands series. However, players report issues such as graphical artifacts, lag, and performance problems, particularly on mobile devices, which detracts from the experience. While some find the graphics impressive and enjoyable, others highlight optimization issues that lead to frustration during gameplay.

    • “Cool graphics and game design, nice sound effect.”

    • “So many glitches and unbeatable levels because of small spaces that are inaccessible, except to that last enemy you need to kill in order to move on.”

    • “Game has great potential and fun at times, but the constant glitches and freezing make it unplayable.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed feedback; while some players find it runs smoothly and is decently optimized, others experience significant lag and low frame rates even on medium settings. Additionally, the lack of controller support on mobile devices detracts from the gameplay experience, making it less enjoyable compared to console versions.

    • “Great game, decently optimized all things considered and the gameplay mechanics are tight and addictive.”
    • “I've played it for a bit and honestly it's a lot of fun and I really enjoy the art style. However, my only complaint is the lag. Even with the max FPS set to 60, it still feels laggy, and on medium graphic settings, I only hit about 20-23 FPS. I've played more demanding games smoothly without any lag; maybe it's just an optimization issue?”
