    • “The character artwork here is terrible; it's all just amateurish 'my first Wacom tablet' style drawings used instead of professional-looking game assets.”
    • “It's unclear if this is due to a lack of budget to arrange someone who can create graphical assets properly, or a lack of talent; regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low, enough on its own to deter gamers.”

  • story5 mentions

    The story of this first-person shooter is widely criticized for its nonsensical plot set in a dimension called "fancy moon," which many reviewers describe as poorly executed and lacking depth. While some find humor in its absurdity and consider it a mix of parody and tribute, the overall consensus is that the narrative is weak and poorly integrated with the game's design.

    • “This first-person shooter has some garbage plot about another dimension called, I kid you not, 'Fancy Moon'.”
    • “It truly is a terrible plot combined with a very lazy asset flip, with poor level design made of stock assets and the same enemies strewn randomly and nonsensically all over the place.”
    • “The repetitive music, stupid level design, bad character animation, crummy looking 'anime' artwork, brainless storyline, soul-crushing difficulty, and dumb humor all come together in one big package of severe mental retardation that brings a smile to my cold, dead, black heart in a game that is seemingly both a parody and a tribute all at the same time.”
  • music5 mentions
