- “The 80s throwbacks with the music, themes, and skins are just plain awesome!”
- “I also have to mention the soundtrack, that makes me want to ride in the sunset with my futuristic sport car.”

The gameplay is characterized by smooth controls, a challenging difficulty level, and a blend of twin-stick shooter mechanics with rogue-like and RPG elements. While many players appreciate the addictive nature and nostalgic feel of the mechanics, some criticize the lack of depth, repetitive gameplay, and issues with difficulty scaling. Overall, the game offers a fun and varied experience, though it may frustrate some with its mechanics and limited unlockable content.
- “The gameplay is smooth, has great flow, responsive controls, and is quite difficult.”
- “The gameplay is fun and varied, and while I don't quite know how to advance just yet, it's the sort of gameplay that makes me excited to dig in and figure it out.”
- “Its combination of addictive mechanics, charming artistic design, and rewarding challenge makes it an unforgettable experience.”
- “Tl:dr game feels like someone called a game designer to build a game with one phone call and had them work entirely in a vacuum without playtesting or peer critique and the core gameplay ultimately lacks any substance or depth.”
- “The game is pretty fun, it's pretty similar to Enter the Gungeon combined with a retrowave which makes it kind of unique, but the gameplay gets kind of repetitive after a couple of runs and there isn't much to unlock other than a couple of skins. There isn't much in the element of roguelite as there's nothing you can unlock that will help you in future runs, but the biggest problem is difficulty scaling. The game doesn't actually get harder with the other difficulties, hard and extreme; it just makes it annoying to play. Rooms get slightly bigger but add so many more enemies to the point where you get overwhelmed the second you walk into a new room.”
- “It's very short, and it feels like it's intentionally ridiculously hard to hide the tiny amount of content gameplay-wise.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their charming retro aesthetic, featuring pixelated visuals that evoke a nostalgic 80s vibe, complete with CRT scanline emulation.

Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's appeal, complementing its addictive gameplay and engaging soundtrack.
- “From the moment I ventured into Megacity Police for the first time, I was captivated by its distinctive and charming art style.”
- “Retro graphics - not content with just having 80's artwork style and pixel graphics, they've even gone as far as to emulate CRT scanlines and screen shape - beautiful!”
- “The pixelated graphics, far from being a hindrance, create a timeless aesthetic that fits perfectly with the roguelike nature of the game.”
- “Not sure what I was expecting, but I didn't vibe with the controls, weapons, or art style.”
- “The weakest looking weapons with the lamest graphic effects are actually the best.”
- “And as for the graphics, personally I prefer it if the lines were a bit thinner; the hitboxes are really confusing when they're so thick.”
