The gameplay is characterized by a simplistic 2D interface and a linear narrative, which some players find repetitive, yet it remains engaging and challenging.

Despite its limitations, the game is praised for its custom-crafted elements and strong narrative integration.

- “To be fair, this really isn't a Fallout game in the traditional sense, but it's got all the right iconography and RPG mechanics that make it translate well into a 2D side-scroller.”
- “Though the game developer took their own spin on it entirely, it doesn't take away from the custom crafted story, the gameplay, or anything else the game has to offer.”
- “For gameplay purposes, the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static text/images... it's a browser game.”
