Strong passion and love for Tokusatsu and Kamen Rider genres evident throughout the game.
Core combat and visual style provide a fun and stylish experience, especially after unlocking certain abilities like bike combos and super moves.
Developer is highly responsive and actively improving the game through patches and updates.

The game is very unpolished at launch, featuring bugs, glitches, and technical issues such as overly sensitive camera controls and poor menu functionality.
Combat lacks clear feedback and depth, with confusing mechanics, inconsistent hit detection, and an overwhelming number of enemies/templates that reduce effectiveness of lock-on and combos.
Difficulty spikes early on, especially with the first boss, compounded by unclear mechanics and insufficient tutorials, making it frustrating for many players.

The music is generally praised for its style but criticized for being overly loud by default, looping poorly, and lacking variety, leading to it becoming repetitive and grating over time. Sound mixing issues often cause music to overpower voice lines and sound effects, which also suffer from lacking impact and variety. Many users suggest adding more tracks, better sound effect integration, and improved volume controls to enhance the overall audio experience.
- “I switched it to the Kamen Rider Geats OST for vibes and the game improves a ton.”
- “The graphics and music, chef's kiss.”
- “The combat is cool and fun with the visuals and the music, and for a one-man project I think it's very impressive.”
- “The music was so loud by default, I immediately turned it down, but having it constantly start and stop honestly bothered me more. I'd rather the whole song play out and loop constantly than have it stop in the middle and start again from the beginning.”
- “The attacks and motorcycle sounds lack that hard-hitting quality. One music track throughout the entire time I've played is really grating. It's a cool track, don't get me wrong, but more music would make it a better game.”
- “The music is basically a single track that loops endlessly even over dialogue and cutscenes.”

The gameplay offers stylish and engaging combat with cool moves and mechanics, especially in boss battles, but it is hindered by poor tutorials, unclear mechanics, and lack of polish. Players find difficulty spikes, control issues, and visual feedback problems detract from the overall experience, making the game feel unfinished and in need of significant refinement. Despite these flaws, the core gameplay shows promise and has a fun, frantic style that many find enjoyable.
- “The character designs and the overall gameplay are really cool, especially after you get access to super moves.”
- “Yes it is janky, yes it is very unpolished, but the core gameplay is absolutely phenomenal.”
- “Enemies will clip out of bounds, you will clip out of bounds, but honestly the core gameplay is so stylish and enjoyable that I think the good outweighs the bad on this one.”
- “There's a brief tutorial in the beginning which is good but when you're in the levels, it's hard to know when you should use a heavy attack, dash, or what special does, etc., other than the big critical/punish/break text (which is visually very cool! I just wish there could be a larger mechanic around getting them).”
- “Game mechanic info isn't easy to get; you get a tutorial where you learn about how your attacks interact with certain icons and telegraphs but not all of them.”
- “The gameplay is lacking unfortunately due to the combat; while feeling very fun, there is no indication of attacks hitting, which leads to a lot of issues with registering what's going on in the combat.”

The graphics receive mixed feedback, with praise for the colorful, fun art style and impressive character design but criticism for muddy visuals, inconsistent shading, and frequent glitches. Technical issues include limited and sometimes unreliable graphic settings, problematic transitions, and buggy animations, which undermine the overall visual experience. While many appreciate the game's artistic potential and vibe, it clearly requires fine-tuning and improvements to polish its presentation.
- “I've always been a fan of Kamen Rider and I adore the visuals and play style.”
- “The combat is cool and fun with the visuals and the music, and for a one-man project I think it's very impressive.”
- “The first problem I had, with feeling a lack of impact, has already been fixed, and game options have been expanded to better tweak the visuals and audio.”
- “Graphical issues and glitches are in abundance here; the game doesn't always look the prettiest. Some of the technical options don't configure properly, such as "anti-aliasing."”
- “I went there, bought the game, opened it, and felt scared because when you mess with the graphics, it gets weird. The game's effects and reflections don't work.”
- “The menu doesn't respond as quickly as it should, and the options for graphics are wildly simple, only allowing selection of a number from 1 to 4 to change graphics.”
stability

The game currently suffers from numerous stability issues, including frequent bugs, graphical glitches, and problematic boss encounters that can hinder gameplay. Technical settings like anti-aliasing are often unresponsive, and players commonly experience clipping, stuck characters, and unresponsive controls. Despite these flaws, the game shows strong potential if addressed through updates and improvements.
- “They first boss is way too hard and far too buggy and quick with aoe attacks; the blood spiral attacks will hit you not once but twice, draining shield or health instantly.”
- “I've encountered glitches where enemies and I get stuck in or behind walls, characters glitching in cutscenes, and after dying to the first boss, when I continued, my body disappeared and I could attack but couldn't move or die, essentially becoming a hitbox. The first boss came too soon, making for a poor first impression.”
- “The campaign started with buggy tutorial text, sound with incorrect accompaniment, and graphics that sometimes just don't load, which made me feel really down about the experience.”
story

The story is often minimal or unclear, with weak transitions between levels and a brief, insufficient tutorial that fails to provide necessary context or guidance. While some players find the story amusing or interesting, many feel it lacks depth and coherence, contributing to an overall impression of the game feeling unfinished or like a tech demo.
- “I do think the story, or what little I've seen of it, is a bit silly in a good way.”
- “The art style is great, I accidentally skipped the story when my controller fell but it seems interesting.”
- “The animations, voice acting, and story are great.”
- “The game transitions you from level to level with little to no context story-wise as to the next scenario, and the current tutorial is too brief and doesn't provide the player with enough information to effectively play the game.”
- “Dunno when the story's about to kick in because after about 7 minutes, I turned it off and asked for a refund.”
- “Grammatical errors galore, the tutorial stage largely consists of the enemy just standing in one spot, it got really repetitive really quickly, and there seems to be absolutely no depth of story or gameplay.”
