The gameplay is generally enjoyable and familiar, especially for those accustomed to archery mechanics, but it falls short compared to other VR bow and arrow games like "In Death" and "Holopoint." Despite its fun elements, the bow and arrow mechanics are considered less refined than those in more recent titles.
“The game is great fun and the mechanics are familiar to anyone who has used the excellent lab archery system, or has ever picked up a bow and arrow.”

The music in the game has been criticized for its repetitiveness, as players often find themselves listening to the same tracks against a static background, leading to a desire for more variety and refreshing changes in both scenery and soundtrack.
“A drawback is that you always play against the same background; it would be refreshing to change the scenery sometimes (and the music).”
