The game offers fun gameplay despite not matching the advertised style.
Includes a few action-driven stages that provide a diversion from typical idle gameplay.
Contains an auto targeting system that helps with shooting mechanics.

The game is heavily criticized for false advertising and misleading promotion, as it is mostly a reskinned version of AFK Arena rather than the promised run and gun style.
Gameplay is often described as boring, idle, and lacking meaningful progression with excessive grinding and pay-to-win elements.
Technical issues include server confusion, loss of characters and progress, unplayable early levels, stuck in portrait mode, and small screen size making gameplay frustrating.
