The gameplay is generally described as decent, featuring smooth mechanics and a variety of maps and gamemodes, though it lacks excitement and depth compared to other titles in the genre. While some players appreciate the unique elements, such as the absence of health regeneration and the introduction of power-ups, others find the overall experience clunky and less engaging, with concerns about balance and a low player base affecting enjoyment. Despite its potential, many feel it falls short of competing with more established first-person shooters.
- “Super cracked gameplay!!!!”
- “Very fun and unique FPS with good mechanics.”
- “On the gameplay side, it's like Call of Duty, but they got rid of health regen and added arena-shooter-style health pickups and power-ups.”
- “False front tries to sell itself as a fully developed game, but it's just the same as the beta version with minor gameplay changes and that's about it.”
- “There are multiple maps and game modes, but I wasn't interested in playing more than 2 game modes and maps, just because the gameplay didn't feel exciting enough.”
- “I don't think the game is necessarily bad; the gameplay, while clunky, is passable, and content, while it feels a bit lacking, is still passable. However, other cartoony first-person shooters like Team Fortress 2 or Paladins feel so much better to play and actually have people playing the game, not to mention the somewhat boring level-up progression.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its unique art style reminiscent of older arcade games, while others criticize it as amateurish and reminiscent of outdated mobile games. Although some find the visuals appealing in a nostalgic way, many agree that improvements are needed to enhance the overall experience and differentiate it from other shooters.
- “Amazing graphics”
- “The game's graphics are not what I would call dated, but it has its own art style.”
- “This game is just not good. I know it is in early access, but it has horrible graphics that remind me of a 2005 phone game. There's nothing special about it that would incentivize you to play this over any other shooter. No player base, mainly bots, bad shooting mechanics, players sticking through walls, and all the maps are boring and remind me of every other boring FPS game I've played, but with worse graphics.”
- “First thoughts: the concept of the game is obviously based around Call of Duty but with arena-styled maps and Fortnite-like graphics.”
- “Graphics could do with some work.”

Overall, the game's stability is mixed; while some features like ranking in private matches and certain mechanics work well, players have reported glitches such as erratic blink abilities and AI issues, including bots getting stuck or behaving unpredictably.
- “The blink ability felt buggy to use, blinking me towards spots I didn't even want to blink to.”
- “Bots, for the most part, felt alright to play against, but there were times where the AI was buggy, causing them to run into walls, run away from me when I was shooting them, or just disappear into walls.”

Reviewers suggest that the game's monetization strategy could be improved by implementing a free-to-play model with cosmetic microtransactions, as the current price point may deter potential players in a saturated market. They recommend leveraging advertising through popular content creators to boost player counts and enhance visibility. Overall, a shift towards a more accessible monetization approach could significantly benefit the game's success.
- “I believe this game would benefit from a demo, a lower price point, or a complete transformation to free-to-play with cosmetic microtransactions. It's not that the game isn't worth ten dollars, but the genre is so saturated that it's hard to convince players to pay that entry fee for a game they've never heard of, which leads to low player numbers.”
- “I do think this game would benefit from either a demo, a lower price point, or a complete transformation to free-to-play with cosmetic microtransactions, not because it's not worth ten dollars, but because as others have said the genre is so saturated it's hard to convince players to pay that entry fee for a game they've never heard of, leading to low player numbers.”
- “Legit buy some ads on some popular YouTubers or streamers and get the player count up, then charge for cool items if you're going to keep it free. It could make player count go up like crazy. The game is made very well and it's actually fun to play in bots because no one plays.”
