Gameplay is generally enjoyable with a solid foundation for FPS mechanics, featuring a variety of guns and a well-integrated gunplay system. However, players noted a lack of enemy diversity and criticized the inconsistent checkpoint system, which can lead to frustrating setbacks. Additionally, while the UI is customizable and mostly unobtrusive, some found it to be somewhat forced, and certain mechanics, like throwing grenades, were hindered by control limitations.
- “Gameplay and combat was fun, if a little lacking in enemy types.”
- “The UI is highly customizable and everything is well placed like the map, currency, health, etc., which isn’t too intrusive during gameplay.”
- “Gameplay: the most basic building blocks of an FPS shooter are simple to grasp, with plenty of guns, plenty of enemies, and a system of gunplay that ties them together and feels right.”
- “Content: while I do not believe I finished all of this game's offerings, its lack of a structured and consistent checkpoint system had instances where I died and either went back a little bit of gameplay away, or was sent all the way back to the beginning of the level, instances of the latter leading to me dipping out of the game early.”
- “The developers were actively listening to the beta players on Discord, but really they didn't improve gameplay that was bad in the beta, and now bad in early access.”
- “There were destructible objects in the game but they offered nothing to the gameplay.”
