The gameplay is characterized by a unique hook mechanic that many players find enjoyable and engaging, reminiscent of traversal elements from other popular titles. However, the experience is marred by a lack of variety, with only two enemy types and limited levels, leading some to view it as a short demo rather than a full game. While the core mechanics are praised for their fluidity and fun, the overall content feels sparse, leaving players wanting more depth and variety.
- “If you ever thought 'what would it be like to turn Doom Eternal's meat hook into a traversal mechanic and transplant it into Ultrakill?' this game gives you just that.”
- “After investing nearly two hours into this game, I can confidently assert that it offers a highly entertaining experience, largely attributable to the ingenious hook mechanic.”
- “Very short but it has some great core movement/shooting mechanics!”
- “Not really worth it, the gameplay is boring as it doesn't have variety whatsoever. The graphics are mediocre; you can only choose low, medium, or high settings without options for light quality, fog, or textures. I haven't played for even 5 minutes and already got bored.”
- “The game is practically raw, with no interesting mechanics and bad graphics.”
- “It also has no more than 30 minutes of gameplay on hard mode.”

- “I love how different strategies can lead to unique experiences. It’s a game that encourages experimentation and replayability.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for causing frequent crashes and performance issues, particularly with stuttering on some PCs. Additionally, players have noted a strange visual effect when using the grappling hook at maximum field of view, suggesting that further adjustments could enhance the overall experience.
- “I think it'd be a great game, but the game is not well optimized and crashes a lot.”
- “However, if I could advise changing something, it would be the FOV when using the grappling hook. I had the FOV at max, and every time I hooked onto something, it stretched the screen to an abnormal level. It didn't impact my performance, but it was strange at first contact.”
- “I don't know if it's just me or maybe my PC is stuttering.”

- “The difficulty: I don't know about others, but either all my hours spent on Doom Eternal made me too good for the hard difficulty (which I doubt), or maybe the game in general is too easy. Either way, I had an extra fun time, so maybe tweak it a little.”
