Heavy Burger is a chaotic and fun multiplayer experience that combines elements from classic arcade games, making it a great party game for friends.
The game features a nostalgic aesthetic with pixel art and sound bites that pay homage to Data East's classic titles, enhancing the overall enjoyment.
Gameplay is fast-paced and engaging, with a variety of weapons and power-ups that keep matches exciting and unpredictable.

The game lacks online multiplayer support, which limits its replayability and makes it less appealing for solo players.
There are only a few maps available, leading to repetitive gameplay after several matches, and the absence of a level editor restricts customization options.
Some players find the chaotic nature of the game frustrating, especially in single-player mode against bots, as it can be difficult to keep track of everything happening on screen.
