The graphics of the game are described as decent but simplistic, effectively supporting the gameplay without high-end visuals, which aligns with its low budget. While the visuals serve their purpose for a wave-based shooter, players have encountered bugs, control issues, and limited graphical options that hinder the overall experience. Despite these shortcomings, the game runs smoothly on most systems, though it is not designed to impress graphically.
- “Still, given the game’s low price point, the visuals achieve what they set out to do: establish a serviceable setting for a wave-based shooter without excessive ambition.”
- “Graphics are decent and the plot is engrossing.”
- “Edit: you can change graphics settings in the menu: fastest, fast, simple, good, beautiful & fantastic.”
- “It’s a game that tries to deliver visceral thrills on a minimal budget, relying more on intensity and constant action than on complex narrative or high-end visuals.”
- “Impossible to apply adequate graphics options (totally useless anyway: this is not a game you would play for graphics).”
- “There is only one map (other 3 are missing) and one character to select (other 2 are locked), poor enemy AI, some missing textures, no multiplayer, no way to change controls, graphics settings (only resolution and vsync) etc.”

- “However, the weapon feedback and aiming mechanics don’t always feel as responsive as they should.”
- “The game is not worth your money; bad gameplay and empty servers.”
- “The gameplay is absolutely horrible; there are only stock assets present with a few minor adjustments, there is not really any creativity, and asking questions or giving any kind of feedback will get you slapped in the face and banned.”

replayability

Replayability is limited due to the absence of dynamic content, such as procedural generation and varied enemies, resulting in repetitive environments. Consequently, players' willingness to replay the game largely depends on their enjoyment of the core combat mechanics.
- “The lack of dynamic content—no procedural generation, minimal variation in enemies, and repetitive environments—means that replayability hinges solely on a player’s enjoyment of the basic combat loop.”
- “Once you've completed the game, there’s little incentive to return, as the story and gameplay don’t change with subsequent playthroughs.”
