The game has potential and offers enjoyable gameplay, especially for those who appreciate the genre.
The developers are responsive to feedback and have shown commitment to addressing issues and improving the game.
The graphics have improved from the demo, and the environments are expansive, providing a decent visual experience.

The game suffers from significant balancing issues, with enemies becoming overly difficult and 'bullet sponge' like, making it frustrating to progress.
Controls are awkward and not remappable, leading to accidental inputs that disrupt gameplay, particularly with the auto-aim feature.
Progression feels overly complex and slow, with unlocks taking too long to achieve, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

The game features a challenging difficulty level reminiscent of pay-to-win titles, with a focus on meta progression currency. However, the developers have committed to avoiding microtransactions, which is positively noted by users, and they plan to implement rebalancing to improve the experience.
- “The developers have promised no microtransactions ever, which is a definite point in their favor.”
- “They have stated they are going to rebalance the game, which gives me hope for a better experience.”
- “Despite the initial difficulty resembling a pay-to-win model, the commitment to avoid microtransactions is reassuring.”
- “The difficulty is cranked to a degree normally expected of a pay-to-win title on phones, as is the meta progression currency. The developer has promised no microtransactions ever, which is a definite point in their favor. They also mentioned plans to rebalance the game, so after some control and resolution fixes and a meta rebalance, I'll give this another look.”
