The gameplay is generally praised for being fun and engaging, with tight mechanics, impressive graphics, and enjoyable combat against mechs. However, players express frustration with the final boss, which feels disconnected from the rest of the game, and suggest a shift to a twin-stick control scheme to enhance the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, the majority of the gameplay is considered solid and entertaining.
- “The action/gameplay was fun, sometimes frustrating, but fun.”
- “On the game itself: it's great, super tight gameplay, sweet graphics, awesome locations, the mechs are fun to fight, the soundtrack is solid, but above all, the game is really fun.”
- “Fun until the last boss, which, to me, makes no sense whatsoever in relation to everything that's been going on in the game prior (in terms of gameplay).”
- “If I had one recommendation to the dev (other than fixing his game!), it would be to revamp the gameplay scheme and make it into a twin-stick gameplay instead of the super cumbersome scheme that is used at the moment (which works great for 95% of the game and absolutely not for the last boss).”
