Overall, the game's optimization is mixed; while it runs smoothly on high-end systems with good performance at max settings, players have reported random frame drops and minor bugs, particularly during specific encounters and with certain enemies. Some maps feel unfinished, leading to out-of-bounds issues, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “Performance: flawless; played it on my desktop PC at 90 fps.”

- “My only gripe was that a few of the encounters are confined into extremely small arenas for the amount of enemies you face and that gives you little room for maneuvers; other than that, the game ran smoothly on my PC.”
- “It's poorly optimized with random frame drops when the game looks like your average Doom wad, and some maps feel unfinished in places where you can easily go out of bounds. Really strange.”
- “Not to mention minor bugs and inexcusable performance. I mean seriously, with these simple visuals and a high-end GPU, I should not be dropping below 100 FPS at any time.”
- “I also had noticeable performance drops when the electro music enemy appears, and on no other time in the game.”
