The game features smooth and enjoyable movement mechanics reminiscent of Titanfall, making it fun to navigate and engage in fast-paced action.
The core gameplay loop is genuinely fun and has a lot of potential for growth and evolution, with modes like Destruction showing promise.
The visual updates have improved the game's aesthetics, making it visually appealing when it runs properly.

The game currently lacks sufficient content and variety, with only a few modes and maps available, making it feel repetitive.
Performance issues, including texture loading problems and decreased frame rates after updates, hinder the overall experience.
The progression system is grindy and feels unrewarding, with slow leveling and a lack of meaningful upgrades.

The gameplay has a solid foundation but suffers from a lack of variety and content, leading to a repetitive and grindy experience. Players note that the absence of meaningful updates and the limited enemy and weapon options contribute to an unsatisfying gameplay loop. While the mechanics show potential, the overall execution feels rushed and unpolished, making it hard to justify the game's price.
- “The parkour sections have parts that actively utilize the warp mechanic, and even spawn in enemies that can prove to be a nuisance.”
- “I really like it and it has a lot of potential, but it seems like there isn't really a goal to it; however, the mechanics are 10/10.”
- “These changes are largely superficial and don't change the gameplay much, with the exception of the destruction map, which has a more interesting but far less replayable arena.”
- “There's no shakeup in gameplay like modifiers (lower gravity, only explosive enemies, etc.) and the lack of enemy variety only further amplifies problems with the mode.”
- “This game lacks the content it needs to justify its price, was evidently rushed for release, and hasn't seen any new actual gameplay content since before launch.”
- “The gunplay is unsatisfying and underwhelming, and the gameplay is repetitive with a grindy progression system: an impressive feat for a game with three guns and three melee weapons, and an average of less than two maps per gamemode.”

The recent graphics update has enhanced the visuals but introduced numerous bugs and significantly reduced performance, rendering the minimum system requirements ineffective. While the new aesthetics provide improved contrast, they also make enemies difficult to see, and overall, the update has not addressed the game's lack of content or gameplay polish. Despite the visual improvements, many players feel that aesthetics are not a priority given the game's shortcomings in other areas.
- “The visuals are the only thing that has been worked on to any notable degree, as shown in the development channel of the Discord and suggested by the latest update.”
- “The previous visuals were admittedly underwhelming, but aesthetics are far from a priority for a game this lacking in content with as unpolished a gameplay loop.”
- “Updated graphics.”
- “The most recent update has improved the visuals, but added a slew of new bugs and issues, drastically decreased performance (toss aside the suggested minimum specs; it's meaningless), and failed to bring any substantive or important changes.”
- “Enemies are black and the new visuals add contrast and overcast lighting to the environment, making enemies sometimes nearly invisible.”
- “The visuals update has also cut the performance into a third, and the suggested minimum system requirements are now a complete joke.”
