The gameplay features a unique ghost mechanic that adds an interesting twist, allowing players to hold and use three weapons simultaneously. However, it also suffers from a snowballing issue, as only the round winner can spawn their ghost, giving them an additional advantage and potentially diminishing competition. Despite this flaw, many find the gameplay engaging and worth purchasing.
- “Ultimately, the ghost mechanic makes this game interesting, fun, and unique enough to be worth a buy.”
- “Interesting mechanics: you can hold and use 3 weapons at the same time!”
- “The game's biggest flaw is that only the winner of a round has their ghost form spawn that round. This mechanic gives further advantage to a winning player and, in my mind, is an unfortunate snowballing mechanic.”
