The game's story is generally considered shallow and lacks depth, with many players feeling indifferent towards it, often viewing it as secondary to the action. While some appreciate the immersive cutscenes and the unique main character, others criticize the narrative for being poorly executed, relying heavily on text boxes and lacking voice acting. Overall, the story serves as a backdrop to the gameplay, which is filled with quests and action but often requires tedious backtracking.
“The story is rather immersive with great cutscenes, and I developed a liking for the Duke Nukem-like main character who is very unique.”
“The plot is interesting: having woken up in this strange land and finding your corpse, you must figure out what is going on.”
“Story is about you losing your memory, and each level you must collect parts of your memory back.”
“The story is pretty poor and you don't really end up caring about it; the game is just 'kill everything'.”

The gameplay features a mix of RPG elements, character development, and chaotic top-down shooting mechanics, with opportunities for leveling up weapons and skills through side quests and mini-games. However, players have noted issues with level design, clunky controls, and glitches that detract from the experience, leading to a sense of frustration as the game progresses. While some find the gameplay initially enjoyable, it can quickly become tedious due to its mechanics and overall execution.
“You can level up armor, weapons, and skills, but for that, you need to collect some in-game currencies or do some side quests, which I think makes the gameplay more fun. You can also do some mini-games and look for hidden secret paths.”

“The gameplay is chaotic, the controls are smooth, and the checkpoints are adequate.”
“Gameplay is pretty boring; the level design is not exactly enticing.”
