The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced, action-packed multiplayer mechanics with unique elements like a healing and hurting bullet system, though opinions on its effectiveness vary. While players appreciate the fun gunplay and good map design, many feel the mechanics are minimal and could benefit from further development and polish. Overall, the game offers an engaging experience, but the lack of players and some underwhelming mechanics detract from its potential.

- “This game has very minimal mechanics.”
- “The devil/angel heal/hurt 'mechanic' is just a useless gimmick that adds nothing except making you press a button if your opponent is not the right color.”

The game lacks a traditional storyline, with reviewers noting that a narrative isn't essential to the experience. While a potential plot involving angels versus demons could be imagined, the chaotic nature of the gameplay, where all characters can be enemies, undermines any cohesive story.
- “I am sorry folks, there is no storyline in this game.”
- “Even if we were to come up with our own plot that revolves around the concept of angels vs demons, it wouldn’t work since everyone is your enemy in this game, including people from your own side.”
