The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some praising its fluidity, responsiveness, and addictive mechanics, while others criticize the control binding setup and diminishing experience over time. Players appreciate the interesting time-attack elements and teamwork opportunities, but note that certain aspects may feel off or undermine the overall enjoyment. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a blend of satisfying mechanics and significant flaws.
“The gameplay is fluid, responsive, and satisfying.”
“Fancy music, simple but addictive gameplay...what does a serious gamer need more?”
“Excellent 2D shooter with an interesting time-attack mechanic on each stage that varies enemy placement and even how many bosses you face.”
“Gundeadligne at first seems to be a rather competent shooter in the first 2 minutes of gameplay; however, the experience quickly diminishes as soon as you start getting into it.”
“But even if you're into that in your games, rest assured that there is plenty wrong with this game from a gameplay perspective.”
“While the gameplay is what you would expect from a Japanese-made bullet hell, some things are quite off.”

The story in the game is moderately engaging, presented through text screens and character art between stages, though the delivery may feel rushed and lacks visual polish. It continues the narrative from the first game in the Gundemonium series, offering a straightforward plot that is more accessible for players familiar with its predecessor. Overall, while not particularly innovative, the story is well-written and maintains a level of depth.
“It's not the most enticing way to tell a story, but the story itself isn't shallow, nor is it badly written or translated.”
“The 2nd game in the Gundemonium series continues the storyline from the first game, featuring a similar level of difficulty and a variety of characters.”
“The menus are all blurry, and the story and graphics seem to have been made quickly, like for the first game.”
“The story is presented between stages of the game, with a screen of text alongside character art.”
“The story is simple if you played the first one.”

The game offers a decent level of replayability due to its variety of characters and multiple extra modes, although some players find the gem system restrictive, potentially limiting access to all content for less skilled players. Overall, while it may not reach the depth of other games in character customization, it still provides enough variety to encourage repeated playthroughs.
“Though it fails to deliver the same depth as the character customization system found in gundemonium, this variety in characters still manages to add significant replay value to the game, and is an adequate stand-in for the aforementioned system.”
“One minor complaint, the gem system is pretty restricting, and gives the feeling that only very good players will be able to see everything each stage has to offer, although I suppose you could argue that it adds replay value (not that there isn't enough replay value already with all the extra modes).”
“Not very replayable.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for being subpar compared to other shoot 'em ups, with users noting that it lacks engaging aesthetics. Additionally, while the game attempts to adjust its difficulty based on player performance, this implementation has been described as poorly executed.
“The game adjusts its difficulty depending on your performance, but the way it handles it is a joke.”
“Another thing to point out is that the game will either decrease or increase its own difficulty depending on your performance during a session, similar to other games in the genre.”
