The game has a unique art style reminiscent of classic Raven Software titles, which some players appreciate.
Despite its flaws, the game can be fun and fast-paced once players adapt to its mechanics and embrace its chaotic nature.
It works on modern systems, allowing players to relive a nostalgic experience from their childhood.

The controls are poorly designed, with frustrating tank-like mechanics that make gameplay difficult and unenjoyable.
The game is plagued by bugs and crashes, particularly towards the end, which can hinder progress and enjoyment.
There is a lack of modern features such as mouse support and widescreen options, making it feel like a lazy re-release rather than a proper remaster.
