The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, with a unique asymmetrical design that allows for enjoyable interactions between VR and console players. However, it suffers from bugs, AI issues, and some mechanics that feel unbalanced or flawed, leading to repetitive experiences over time. Despite these drawbacks, the game shows great potential and is praised for its creative concepts and smooth execution, making it a solid choice for party play.
- “The core gameplay is the same, but it feels slightly more satisfying to physically pick up robots and throw them in the grinder/furnace/zapper.”
- “Fantastic concept, beautiful models and textures, brilliant gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is really solid and creative, so there's heaps of potential here, but it's also a very good party game as it is currently.”
- “The gameplay started to become repetitive after a while.”
- “The grab and place mechanics are a little screwy, and after finding just one android while playing as the seeker, the game is won, which I am not a fan of.”
- “Gameplay-wise, I feel like the 'power-up' system is just completely flawed.”

The game suffers from significant optimization issues, particularly in multiplayer scenarios where performance drops drastically, leading to frame rate caps and potential VR sickness. Players report that even high-end hardware struggles to maintain smooth performance, indicating that the game's CPU rendering and graphical settings require substantial improvement. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, its current optimization shortcomings hinder the experience, especially in local multiplayer settings.
- “The fact that performance is only an issue with high player count leads me to believe the CPU rendering (maybe drawcall count) is not as optimized as it could be.”
- “Without these performance issues, this game would be great, but unfortunately you need an overkill CPU to run this game.”
- “A fun party game, but badly needs optimization (or at least more graphical options).”
- “I was running all minimum settings on a 1070 and still had stuttering.”
- “Horrible frames, computer is more than good enough, just badly optimized.”

The game's stability is frequently criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs and glitches, particularly in multiplayer settings. While some players find the experience enjoyable despite these issues, the lack of recent updates and the game's abandonware status suggest that significant improvements are unlikely. Overall, it is recommended to play with a small group to mitigate frustrations caused by the instability.
- “This game isn't bad, but it's buggy due to being abandonware (someone in the reviews stated it was abandoned by the developers), so I only recommend playing with 1-2 players on Vive from what I've seen from the other reviewers.”
- “But recently, it seems the game has seen no updates, can be very buggy at times, and unless you have a dedicated group of friends to play with, this game will probably just collect dust in the uninstalled section of your game library like mine.”
- “Unless troubleshooting games while your friends wait for the game to start sounds like fun to you, I don't recommend.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and impressive quality, creating a visually stunning experience that enhances gameplay. However, some users report issues with optimization and graphical options, particularly on lower settings, which can affect the overall experience. Despite these concerns, the art style and attention to detail contribute significantly to the game's appeal.
- “The graphics are beautiful for what it is and the game can either make you feel larger than life, or as tiny as an ant depending on your playing perspective as either the seeker (VR) or a rogue android (no VR).”
- “The graphics quality is fantastic - put your head down at the level of the little robots running around, and they still look stunning.”
- “Unlike other reviewers, we played the game on a gaming laptop with a GeForce 1070 at 4K resolution on the TV and high graphical quality and never experienced any slowdown.”
- “A fun party game, but it badly needs optimization (or at least more graphical options).”
- “The screen goes dark on player death unless graphics are set to low in the launcher and in-game options.”
