  • gameplay
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally described as basic and repetitive, primarily revolving around wave-based combat with simple shooting mechanics. While some players find the gunplay satisfying and the core mechanics enjoyable, many criticize the lack of content and features, leading to a stale experience after a few rounds. Overall, it offers a quick, casual gaming experience but is hindered by its mediocrity and limited variety.

    • “The mechanics are simple and the gunplay is relatively satisfying.”
    • “I completely recommend the game, the gameplay is fun and the art of the monsters is very unique.”
    • “It has smooth gun mechanics and at some points later in the game a good challenge.”
    • “This game is incredibly mediocre; the gameplay is stale after about four waves of basic enemies come at you.”
    • “While the gameplay isn't anything to write home about, the pricing of the game makes the experience even worse.”
    • “Not sure if I will return to the game or not since it takes up about 5GB of space on my hard drive for the one map it has and the enemies (most of which you won't even see after wave 20) it has.”
  • graphics
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players finding them charming and suitable for the game's low-poly aesthetic, while others criticize them as low quality and overly cartoonish. Technical issues, such as problems with resolution scaling and UI settings, have also been noted, leading to a frustrating experience for some users. Overall, while the graphics may not be top-tier, they are considered pleasant and enjoyable by many, especially given the game's low price point.

    • “It's simple and the graphics are cute.”
    • “The graphics are broken.”
    • “Apparently don't mess with resolution scaling, it will screw up your graphics because you can't turn it off!”

  • music
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music aspect receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the potential for a fun experience while listening to their own music, as the game lacks any backing tracks, leading to awkward silence.

    • “-add music”
  • stability
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is frequently criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs and game-breaking glitches, particularly in the co-op mode, which is still in beta. While some players enjoy the game and appreciate the developer's responsiveness, many feel it is not worth a price tag until significant improvements are made. Overall, the consensus is that the game requires further development to enhance its stability.

    • “When this game was free, I remember playing with my friends. We had a blast even though the game is a bit buggy and obviously not done in the slightest. This game is not worth $5, $10, or $15; it needs to be free unless they make the game better.”
    • “Coop mode (which is still marked as 'beta') is buggy, as I read in discussions.”
    • “These are some seriously game-breaking glitches, and I hope they get fixed soon.”
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Heartwarming game with a good story.”
    • “Only gameplay, doesn't include a story.”
    • “There is a story, but most of the game is focused on gameplay.”

  • monetization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
