The graphics are a mixed bag, with some users finding the retro pixel art style outdated and poorly executed, causing disorientation due to map movement. The lack of resolution and control customization further limits visual and gameplay refinement. However, a few note that the game offers fast-paced action with modern graphics and straightforward controls.
- “Fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on.”
- “This 2D top-down retro pixel twin-stick PvP arena shooter is of particularly poor quality both in terms of technical implementation and artwork/delivery.”
- “A choice was made to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “Resolution and controls are locked, and can't be changed or customized to improve the visuals or the control experience.”

The story is notably lacking, with players relying on multiplayer interactions to compensate for the absence of engaging narrative and level design elements.
