The gameplay is characterized by a lack of depth and variety, with only three advertised mutilators and minimal rules, leading to a dull experience for some players. However, it features unique mechanics like post-death kills and frantic dodging, making it suitable for quick rounds with friends. Despite its interesting physics and mechanics, the game struggles with a low player base, making matchmaking difficult.
“Combine this with a large variation of arenas that introduce unique kill hazards and mechanics, and this is easily the kind of game you can fire up for a few quick rounds with friends every now and then.”
“+ Gameplay mechanics that I have not seen before (killing after death or you probably won but prove it and survive).”
“It advertises its mutilators while only having 3, advertises its rules while barely having any, and its gameplay is simply not deep enough to warrant a purchase on sale.”
“The gameplay is just dull in comparison.”
“Projectiles kill in one hit unless someone picks up a shield, and gameplay is mostly frantic dodging and trying to get that winning shot in.”

The game's limited variety of power-ups and mutators significantly impacts its replayability, making it less engaging compared to other brawlers that offer more diverse gameplay options.
“The game doesn't have a massive amount of power-ups or mutators, which can be key points to the replayability of similar brawlers.”
