“The gameplay loop is addictive and managed to keep me hooked longer than most modern triple-A games have today.”
“Wonky and clunky and buggy Unity mechanics won't save even the smartest and most fun idea for a team-based shooter since its core will always be a FPS with many tactical elements.”
“The gameplay is pretty alright; however, the gun models do not match at all with the playstyle and a lot of things feel out of place. The servers are hardly full, if even.”
“Very, very bland gameplay that's oddly too fast for stealth.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players noting that they are simplistic and reminiscent of older titles, often described as "1990s" or "low poly." Despite the lack of visual polish, reviewers emphasize that the gameplay mechanics and overall experience more than compensate for the graphical shortcomings, making it a fun and engaging tactical shooter.

“The graphics are appealing and the game runs well.”
“Love all the gadgets you can use and the simplistic graphics are clean and very appealing.”

“The art/visuals are so awful, there is no consistency in the art, the character models are always tearing and glitching out and the animations are hilariously bad.”
“Again maybe I just happened to have a bunch of bad experiences, but since the gameplay is kinda jank & the graphics are an eyesore, I can't really recommend this to anyone.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of a coherent narrative, with many players expressing a desire for a single-player mode featuring missions. Instead, the gameplay focuses on multiplayer heist-style missions that emphasize stealth and strategy, often likened to a "Mission Impossible" experience. While some players find enjoyment in the chaotic and humorous interactions during these missions, the overall sentiment is that the game lacks a meaningful story.
“Its like playing a mission impossible game.”
“For most maps, the mission depending on your team (guards/intruders) will be based on attempting to (guard/steal) a briefcase or (secure/hack) computers, using a wide variety of layouts made throughout the map. Guards will have to use multiple cameras, sensors, and radio communication to prepare themselves for the incoming assault, while intruders will use hand signals to communicate, remote bombs, smoke grenades, and outwit their opponents to achieve their goal.”
“That story has been the greatest bit I've done to this day.”
“☑ no story”
“☑️ this game has no story”
“I wish this game had a single player option and do missions instead of only having the option to play with other people.”

The music in the game is a mix of classical compositions and popular tracks, creating a unique and often humorous atmosphere that enhances the gameplay experience. However, the community's tendency to mic spam and play loud music can be disruptive, leading to frustration among players. Despite these issues, many find the soundtrack enjoyable and fitting for the game's chaotic and comedic nature.
“The 'Intruder Stealth Multiplayer Experience' is a masterful 18th-century composition in the world of gaming, where classical music finds its perfect accompaniment.”
“Mic-spamming doom music is a legitimate strategy in this stealth action game.”
“So far I love this game, great gameplay and a hilarious community (as I'm writing this my teammates are playing the Mission Impossible theme song bass boosted).”
“Really great idea and good setup for a game; ruined by an extremely toxic and annoying community where people constantly spam music through their mics, and also by mechanics that are extremely poorly done (namely, I've seen it happen too many times where people shoot and kill each other, because the lag between registering shots is so long).”
“Occasionally, I have run into 'radio spammers', who just spam click the radio so you can't hear anything, voice changers/soundboard users who will play loud music or expose your location, or people who just yoink everything and suicide off the map.”
“Mic spamming, playing loud music into the mic, constantly screaming.”

The game's stability is a mixed bag, with many players reporting occasional glitches and bugs that can disrupt gameplay, though some note that these issues are often patched in updates. While the core mechanics can feel clunky and the experience may be marred by technical problems, the game still offers enjoyable moments, especially when played with friends. Overall, it shows promise but requires further refinement to enhance stability.
“The game itself isn't too buggy, and it makes for amazing times with friends.”
“Great game, runs great and has some serious potential!”
“Very fun game but still super buggy.”
“But it's a shame developers choose to make looks and features updates, rather than fixing bugs and glitches that ruin gameplay.”
“One thing is for sure, this game has huge promise and potential, I played it for around an hour but I had some issues with network connection, and the game was buggy at one point, where I got bombed through the wall twice in a game.”

“The performance is good!”
“More optimization seems needed though.”
“I honestly expected low-brow, low quality performance.”

The game is praised for its lack of microtransactions, which enhances the overall experience, but it suffers from a small player base due to minimal advertising efforts. Reviewers suggest that better marketing strategies, such as sponsoring popular streamers, could help attract more players and improve the game's visibility. Overall, while the monetization model is favorable, the game's success is hindered by its limited reach.
“Or play tactical and treat this like Rainbow 6, but actually fun and not filled with microtransactions. You can have a great time with friends or complete strangers while playing custom maps to enhance the wackiness and/or seriousness of this game.”
“Don't get me wrong, the game is fun, but I have to give this game a bad review for false ads.”
“It peaks EA standards, minus the microtransactions.”
“Needs a bigger player base but could easily be fixed with a good advertising campaign.”

“Atmosphere in this game is amazing; the community is awesome, and it quickly became one of my favorite games in my library.”
