The gameplay blends stealth and cyberpunk elements with a Hotline Miami-inspired style, featuring a humorous setting and a variety of mechanics. While the combat feels somewhat clunky and lacks depth compared to AAA titles, the game offers a lighter experience with sufficient customization and route planning to maintain interest. Players hope for improvements in stealth mechanics to enhance overall gameplay.

“Gameplay changes with your equipment and augmentations.”
“The combat mechanics are just slightly too clunky to feel truly rewarding.”
“Please, for the love of God, improve the stealth mechanics.”
“"Simplified" is a key word; expect to see a lot of trappings of Deus Ex (and similar games), but don't expect the complexity, depth, or sophistication of their AAA iteration equivalents.”

The blocky polygon design, while not typically favored by some players, adds to the overall charm and enjoyment of the visual experience.
“Awesome graphics, love all the little details.”
“The game is even pretty good aesthetically, which I confess was a bit of a surprise for me. The blocky polygons, which I usually don't prefer, felt very charming, giving me extremely nostalgic vibes of Final Fantasy VII. The music was shockingly funky and catchy.”

The music in the game is described as shockingly funky and catchy, contributing to an overall aesthetic that evokes nostalgia, reminiscent of classic titles like Final Fantasy VII. The combination of charming visuals and engaging soundtracks enhances the game's appeal.
“The game is even pretty good aesthetically, which I confess was a bit of a surprise for me. The blocky polygons (usually very much not my thing, I'd prefer 2D pixel art) felt very charming, giving me extremely nostalgic vibes of Final Fantasy VII (likely intentional, but that's just speculation on my part), while the music was shockingly funky and catchy.”

The game's humor is characterized by a tongue-in-cheek writing style that embraces absurdity, often juxtaposing serious themes with farcical elements. Players appreciate the funny setting and the variety of mechanics, likening the experience to a simplified, isometric version of modern Deus Ex games.
“Funny setting and a large number of mechanics you can play with.”
“The game plays like a simplified version of the modern Deus Ex games (Human Revolution, etc.), but from an isometric perspective, with writing that aims for tongue-in-cheek humor rather than being overly serious; its main source of humor is the serious tone taken to the point of farce.”

“There are too many plot holes and inconsistencies that detract from the overall experience.”
“The narrative is predictable and fails to offer any meaningful twists or engaging moments.”
