The graphics of the game are characterized by a striking and unique art style that blends generative tools with a vivid aesthetic, creating a fresh visual experience. While many praise the charming 8-bit visuals and clean UI, some critics argue that the reliance on AI-generated art leads to a lack of cohesion and depth, making the overall presentation feel rushed and underdeveloped. Overall, the graphics evoke a nostalgic boomer shooter vibe, but opinions vary on the execution and artistic integrity.
- “The art style, from the first moments I saw the initial trailer, is really striking and unlike any game I’ve seen before. The use of generative tools has clearly allowed the creator to forge an undiluted vision into the game he wanted to make, and I appreciate the purity of that vision.”
- “The new generative tools on display in the art style bring us one step closer to telepathy – breaking down the barriers between a creator’s vision and our experience of that vision. This game is one of the first real, striking, strong examples of how cool that can be, creating a game with a unique style I love and have not seen before.”
- “The art style feels vivid and coherent.”
- “It's a boomer shooter, and since this game has no level design, no enemy design, and barely any animations, all it has is the art style, which is AI-generated and comes off as nothing but lazy and rushed to me.”
- “Assets don't fit into a cohesive art style, and the sound effects are stock.”
- “The sprite graphics are simultaneously cute while being gritty.”

However, there are concerns about the reliance on AI for music production, leading to a perception of laziness in the game's artistic choices.

- “Loving the soundtrack!”

- “The music, also created using AI, is unspeakably generic.”
- “Music is decent as well despite being AI-generated.”

The gameplay is praised for its cool mechanics, featuring alternate versions of each gun and a unique HUD that enhances the experience of piloting a mech. While it offers authentic mecha gameplay and a diverse arsenal, some players feel it may not significantly differentiate itself from other first-person shooters.

- “Amazing and authentic mecha gameplay with a diverse arsenal.”
- “Gameplay is cool, though there's an alternate version of each gun in the game. The crazy HUD is the main draw, and it is cool to add stuff to it.”
- “The gameplay makes you feel like you are piloting a fairly human mobility mech, while the HUD makes you feel like you are sitting in a sluggish walker.”
- “I'm unsure if there will be some mech mechanics that are further in the game, so it doesn't really distinguish itself much from other FPS games.”
