The gameplay is often compared to "The Binding of Isaac," but many find it too easy and repetitive, with frustrating mechanics that can lead to unfair deaths. While some players appreciate the unique weapon designs and solid controls, the overall experience is marred by bland visuals and poor storytelling, leading to mixed reviews. Despite its flaws, the game may still be worth a try for those looking for a casual experience.
- “The gameplay is pretty fun, but I hate the company.”
- “I've only played it a bit, but the controls and gameplay are great. Excellent controller support! Being a vegan, it was cool to see the PETA sign when I launched the game. Some of the weapons shoot funny and cool ideas, like shooting exploding tomatoes and guns that shoot carrots, plus you have your normal kinds of blasters and launchers!”
- “At least the gameplay will change.”
- “This game consists of weird animation and art, and poorly translated dialogue; that isn't too off-putting for me, but the actual gameplay is just Binding of Isaac if it was too easy.”
- “There are stupid mechanics in the game such as the fact enemies can trap you in corners without you being able to escape and just end up dying, which can be frustrating.”
- “Because of its bland visuals, repetitive gameplay, and awful storytelling, I'd give this game a 3/10.”

grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating, as it often requires excessive repetition to progress, compounded by a limited selection of effective weapons and poorly designed enemy placements across levels. This leads to a tedious experience that detracts from overall enjoyment.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “Even if you ignore the political message, you aren't in store for a good game. Only a handful of weapons are good, with some like the laser rifle and tomato gun being actively dangerous to pick up. The idea of having different enemy types for the different stages is fair enough, but it is ruined by the fact that they are put in all the stages (for example, the farming enemy with pitchforks appears in waterpark levels and the water park bomb robot appears in the farm level).”
