The gameplay is described as fun and unique, but it suffers from issues that make it feel unfinished, akin to an early alpha version. Players often struggle with mobility and lack of clear tools to navigate challenges, leading to frustration when trying to progress. However, recent improvements to weapon effectiveness have enhanced the overall experience, allowing for more chaotic and enjoyable gameplay.
- “Very fun and unique gameplay.”
- “The gameplay feels better now, and you can wreak bigger havoc, since the weapons were boosted.”
- “If you can improve player mobility, I would bet more people would actually feel challenged and be more willing to play if they didn't feel like the game mechanics themselves were working against them.”
- “Gameplay-wise, it feels wrong.”
- “Like an early alpha where you get to see the core mechanics but not much more than that.”
- “There are no real tools to help you get through the level, only mechanics that offer vague and chancey solutions that I never feel satisfied with, because I'm not sure what actually worked.”
