The graphics of the game are described as having a neat, old-school style that appeals to fans of retro aesthetics, though some elements appear to be borrowed from asset stores. While the visuals are generally considered better than expected, there are concerns about issues like motion blur that can affect gameplay. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's charm, making it a fun experience for those who appreciate classic design.
- “The graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are 'borrowed' from asset stores or wherever.”
- “This is a great old school styled game, with a great graphic challenge and just fun gameplay, even though I can't play fully due to motion blur. I would recommend this game if you're looking for fun and old school styled combat.”
- “Played on Linux using Proton, yet another great free game. The graphics have a neat style, and the gameplay is a mix of FPS and old school RPG, even featuring the classic ASCII style map in the corner.”
- “The graphics look okay (probably flipped, which would be a problem), but we all love FPS games when done properly, and this wasn't.”

The gameplay is a blend of first-person shooter mechanics and old-school RPG elements, featuring a retro ASCII-style map and simple weapon mechanics. Players engage in combat, collect items, and upgrade their gear, but the experience is marred by a lack of meaningful level design and narrative progression, which detracts from its overall depth. Despite these shortcomings, the game is still considered enjoyable and fun by users.
- “Played on Linux using Proton, yet another great free game. The graphics have a neat style, the sound is okay, and the gameplay is a mix of FPS and old-school RPG elements. It even features the classic ASCII-style map in the upper left corner. You start by picking up to two weapons, which you can use with either the left or right mouse buttons. You kill ghosts, find money by opening pots, and somewhere on the map, you will encounter a lady to buy weapons and scrolls. You can also upgrade from the pause menu. All in all, this is a good and fun game, and I totally recommend it.”
- “But, like I said, the key problem is the developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative-based gameplay progression, and so on.”
