The gameplay is praised for its smoothness and engaging mechanics, making it easy to learn while allowing for mastery. Players enjoy the fast-paced action and unique skill sets, though some feel the current arena mode limits the use of these mechanics. There are calls for additional content, such as a campaign or co-op mode, to enhance the overall experience and fully utilize the game's potential.

- “The mechanics are interesting, using them and movement is smooth, and the tutorial is great at explaining everything.”

- “I mean, this game is cool, especially the music, but there's nothing unique in that game; it basically copied mechanics from Ghostrunner and only added a survival mode.”
