- “Each of the four weapons feels good and they are unlocked through vertical exploration of buildings (my favorite one is the sniper) and the OST is just exciting.”
- “The game is a little bit confusing in the beginning, but the OST is amazing :)”
- “20 minutes of gameplay, 10 of it is tutorial. Not a hero shooter in the slightest; the OST is annoying and repetitive.”
- “Finally, for a game making much of 'rock defeating techno', the soundtrack is MIDI files of synthy guitar-esque patches, but no actual rock guitar at all.”
- “The OST is just exciting.”
