- “It’s more of a $10-$15 game - it gets very repetitive and samey-samey quick, enemy and environmental wise (gunplay and gameplay are fine for this genre).”

The game features a grind-heavy meta-progression system that adds longevity and allows investment in diverse weapon styles, improving weaker weapons.

Overall, the grind has been reduced from launch, aligning difficulty and progression more closely with genre expectations.
- “Achieving challenge and mastery milestones provides additional skill points, but is grindy.”
- “Too grindy at launch.”
- “But it feels like I'm stuck with unfun guns unless I get enough currency to unlock better ones, which would require a fair amount of grinding based on my initial hour of play (counting the demo).”

Optimization has improved significantly compared to the demo, offering generally good performance even during intense action, though Steam Deck users may still experience frame drops and stuttering. Gamepad support in menus feels inconsistent, and some AI behaviors, like flying enemies, can be frustrating. Overall, the game balances performance well with visual clarity and style.
- “Not only does this style allow for excellent performance even when the screen is filled with projectiles and explosions, but it also gives the various alien environments and high-tech vaults a distinct, readable charm.”
- “Performance, while very much improved compared to the demo, on Steam Deck can still drop to the 40s and stutter when there's a lot going on, with drops to 45Hz mostly negating this.”
- “Gamepad support in menus feels inconsistent, and enemy AI could use a touch-up, as the flying enemies are somewhat annoying.”
