The gameplay is heavily inspired by classic beat 'em ups like Final Fight and Streets of Rage, incorporating mechanics from Golden Axe, such as fury moves and charging attacks. However, players criticize the lack of variety in moves, repetitive gameplay, and absence of defensive options, leading to a frustrating experience despite its retro aesthetic.
