The game features fast-paced survivor action with well-balanced weapons and skills, providing a sense of power without being overpowered.
Graphics are impressive for a survivor game, and the performance is solid even on older mid-range systems, with no significant load times.
There is a wealth of unlocks and achievements, along with a simple and effective interface, making the game engaging and easy to navigate.

The game becomes too easy once a few upgrades are unlocked, and the three zones lack distinctiveness, leading to repetitive gameplay.
There are issues with bugs and crashes, particularly during critical moments in the game, which can detract from the overall experience.
The mission system and enemy variety are limited, resulting in a grindy experience that may feel dull after extended play.

The game's story is minimal, primarily revolving around the premise of being a mercenary on an alien bug planet, with little to no meaningful lore or character development. Players engage in repetitive missions that lack variety, often feeling like a grind to unlock upgrades and progress, rather than an engaging narrative experience. While the mission system offers some interesting gameplay mechanics, it ultimately fails to provide a compelling story or context for the player's actions.
- “If you want a game with backstory, well the backstory is: you're a mercenary on an alien bug planet, the bugs aren't friendly.”
- “Some more story/background development would be good too.”
- “After playing for a few hours, the unique aspect started to emerge as I completed missions to gain ranks to unlock more weapon options, equipment to choose from when doing the missions, new suits/character/classes, and mods.”
- “It has no meaningful story or lore; its art style is 'unreal tech demo', none of the abilities I've been given access to so far are particularly exciting or creative, it's buggy, the maps are bland and empty, and all the features that seem remotely interesting are locked away behind a 'coming soon'.”
- “There is no actual story other than you're a mercenary and you need to kill enemies.”
- “It's: 'survive mission', 'unlock and upgrade stuff', 'repeat with a slightly more difficult mission'.”

The gameplay is generally considered entertaining and fun, featuring a solid loop with a variety of upgrade mechanics and power stacking, though it can become repetitive over time. While some players appreciate the fast-paced action and mission-based setup, others criticize the lack of uniqueness and depth in the gameplay loop, noting that many elements feel like reskins or fail to introduce new mechanics. Overall, the game offers a compelling experience for fans of the genre, especially at its price point, but may not satisfy those seeking more innovative gameplay.
- “The gameplay is fast paced and action-packed, great upgrade tree, lots of weapon variety and achievements, lots of replayable game modes, progression is clean and feels balanced, character control is responsive and tight, graphics and effects are well designed: you just jump in and it's refreshing to play a game that feels like a game, with plenty of those edge-of-your-seat victory moments.”
- “Gameplay wise it adds some interesting things to the genre with a more mission-based setup with optional tasks to complete on each map.”
- “Gameplay is very addictive and the characters and upgrades are worth the time.”
- “There is just nothing unique to it and the gameplay loop is extremely repetitive.”
- “New weapons, characters, or other features bring nothing new to the gameplay.”

Overall, the grind is seen as both addictive and necessary for progression, but it could benefit from more diverse gameplay elements.
- “Grindy and repetitive but not in a good way.”
- “I caught myself falling asleep while grinding through an endless stage.”
- “Action roguelite with an interesting mod system and achievements but with a grindy meta progression that doesn't lead to much depth in gameplay.”

Users report no significant performance issues or bugs, highlighting the game's addictive nature and extensive customization options.

- “Played almost every recent roguelike game and this brings so much customization and build variety in every way while looking badass and modern with very good performance.”
