Overall, the game is seen as casual and entertaining, though it can become repetitive without significant updates or new content.

- “The game plays like a tactical shooter, where the characters are incredibly slow and die incredibly quickly, but the game is scored and built like a free-for-all movement shooter where mechanical skill is the bigger factor.”
- “When I went into the game with expectations of it being very similar to Hotline Miami, with one-hit kills and fast-paced gameplay and an energetic soundtrack, this game doesn't have that; but what it also doesn't have is more weapon variety, as most weapons seem useless in favor of other weapons that are superior.”
- “If you're used to the fast gameplay of Hotline Miami, this tries, but doesn't really quite make it in terms of replicating that; you move slow, you fire slow.”
