Many reviewers noted that the narrative feels almost non-existent, overshadowed by repetitive gameplay and a lack of character development.

    • “Each mission uncovers more of the dark conspiracy, progressively bringing you closer to the ultimate threat to humanity.”
    • “There is a little story, but combat is so engaging that it's hard to keep up with it, at least when playing the mission for the first time.”
    • “The story is meaningless and it looks and plays like a game from 2007.”
    • “The plot seemed to me a bit simple and ridiculous.”
    • “While the graphics and sound design are good, and there is no storyline at all, some may find the gameplay occasionally repetitive.”
  • gameplay14 mentions

  • graphics11 mentions

  • optimization6 mentions

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting severe performance issues, including stuttering and crashes, even on high-end hardware like the RTX 3080. However, some users have experienced smooth gameplay at high frame rates on different setups, suggesting that performance may vary significantly depending on individual configurations.

    • “If they can fix the performance, it's easily a fun little indie title worth a weekend with friends.”
    • “I've only played the tutorial and first mission, but from what I've experienced so far, I have not encountered any janky or performance issues. If anything, it plays really well on my 1440p monitor, and I'm getting about 120-144Hz in-game using my Intel Arc A770 16GB on max settings.”
    • “The problems are that performance is catastrophically bad.”
    • “We're talking 60fps on a 3080, stuttering, and crashes galore.”

  • music3 mentions

    The game's soundtrack is described as enjoyable and fitting, enhancing the chaotic gameplay experience with a charming techno vibe. While it may have a budget feel, the music complements the fast-paced action and adds to the overall appeal.

    • “It has a nice soundtrack.”
    • “It screams 'budget' at you constantly but at the same time the act of running around, jumping and floating while shooting guns at a load of enemies while darting across parts of the map at super speed to just drink the blood of some random guy shooting at you to recover health and make you stronger to then jump straight into a pack of enemies to do it again while techno music plays in the background... there's a charm to it that I honestly can't deny.”
    • “Love the music, by the way! <3”
    • “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged during gameplay.”
    • “The soundtrack is forgettable and doesn't enhance the overall experience; it feels like an afterthought.”
    • “While the gameplay can be fun, the music is often jarring and detracts from the immersion.”

    Players find that while the eleven missions provide a solid foundation, the slow progression in leveling up characters and upgrading weapons leads to significant grinding, making it a time-consuming endeavor to unlock all content.

    • “Eleven missions is a decent amount to chew on, but the rate of progression for leveling up your character and upgrading your guns is extremely slow, so you'll be grinding it out trying to unlock everything for a while.”
    • “The grinding in this game feels endless; it takes far too long to earn the rewards that should come from completing missions.”
    • “I find myself repeating the same tasks over and over just to make any real progress, which makes the game feel tedious and unfulfilling.”
