The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the unique, cartoonish aesthetic and pastel colors, while others criticize the overall quality as lacking polish and customization options. Many note that the performance is surprisingly poor given the basic graphical style, and the limited graphics settings in the options menu detract from the experience. Overall, while the visuals have their charm, they fall short of modern standards and leave players wanting more.
- “I like how it randomizes the map layout, world aesthetics, and which items you collect as you progress through each play-through.”
- “Graphically, the game is unique to say.”
- “Cute graphics, if you like pastels, and the occasional puzzle.”
- “The game itself works well enough, but is very lacking on graphics tweaks and customization; all you can change is the resolution, which really isn't going to cut it for a modern PC game and looks unfavorably on the game engine this seems to be intended to promote.”

- “Graphics are kind of ugly.”

The gameplay is characterized by a metroidvania FPS style, drawing inspiration from Metroid Prime, with a focus on mechanics involving upgrades and exploration. While some players appreciate the unique VR experience and replayability through customization, others criticize the flawed mechanics and lack of charm in level design, leading to mixed enjoyment levels. Overall, it offers interesting puzzles and varied level generation, but may not appeal to everyone.
- “The metroid-style gameplay and finding items, while facing challenges, are the prime areas of the gameplay.”
- “Has interesting and varied level generation, along with some enjoyably simple gameplay and goofy looking enemies.”
- “It is a metroidvania FPS akin to Metroid Prime (its direct source of inspiration) mechanically, but lacking in all the charm, cohesive area and level design, and everything else.”
- “I am not fighting the enemies; I'm fighting against the game mechanics, physics, and how flawed they are.”
- “If you want to play a FPS metroidvania exclusively for the mechanics of getting upgrades/unlocks that improve your ability to fight and navigate, and unlock new rooms and areas, then go ahead and try this out.”
