The gameplay of Neuroshima Hex is centered around strategic placement and planning, as combat resolves automatically based on set conditions, creating a unique tactical experience. While the game is praised for its engaging mechanics and faithful adaptation of the tabletop version, some players have reported frustrating bugs that hinder progress. Overall, the game offers a solid strategic experience, though it may lack the immersive qualities found in other titles.
- “A faithful port of the tabletop game, the gameplay is strategic, fun, and interesting, allowing many ways of outplaying your opponent.”
- “This subtle world-building complements the mechanics, grounding abstract strategy in a cohesive atmosphere that adds tension to every match.”
- “Combat itself is not directly controlled; instead, battles resolve automatically once specific conditions are met, meaning the true gameplay happens entirely during placement and planning.”
- “There is also a story to play; from the first mission, I can tell there is voice acting and special objectives to be achieved in the round, meaning it's not just regular matches against the AI with some text; there is special gameplay!”
- “Visually, Neuroshima Hex adopts a restrained, utilitarian presentation that serves its mechanics well.”

The graphics in the game effectively convey a gritty post-apocalyptic theme through functional artwork and faction designs, prioritizing clarity over spectacle. While the visuals are generally praised for their fluidity and informative nature, some players feel the overall immersion lacks compared to other titles, with sound design being a weaker aspect. Overall, the graphics support the game's tactical focus but may not fully engage players seeking a more immersive experience.
- “This functional aesthetic reinforces the game’s focus on clarity and decision making rather than spectacle.”
- “The new graphics show which modules enhance which units, which is a plus.”
- “No graphic for destroying an enemy HQ?”
- “In general, game mechanics as a tactical strategy are great for fast matches and good enough just for beginners, but to achieve bigger success from non-fans of the foundation board game, it seriously lacks immersion. For example, Wingspan has maintained a great audience over the years where the UI, quality of graphics, music, and story are head and shoulders above Neuroshima.”
- “The post-apocalyptic theme is conveyed through gritty artwork and faction designs, but the game avoids unnecessary animation or visual noise that could obscure important information.”

The game's story features voice acting and special objectives that enhance gameplay beyond standard AI matches, providing a more engaging experience. However, the clarity of the narrative is hindered by distorted voice effects from robotic opponents and the absence of subtitles, which detracts from immersion and accessibility. Overall, while the tactical mechanics are solid, the story lacks the depth and quality found in more successful titles, leaving room for improvement.

- “However, at least in the first mission, the opponent is a robot with strong distortion effects on the voice acting. I regularly cannot understand what the robot is saying, and there are no subtitles.”
- “I haven't played further in the story, but I hope the devs change it; subtitles would also help deaf players enjoy the game.”
- “In general, the game mechanics as a tactician strategy are great for fast matches and good enough just for beginning, but to achieve bigger success from non-fans of the foundation board game, it seriously lacks immersion. For example, Wingspan has kept a great audience over the years where UI, quality of graphics, music, and story narrative are head and shoulders above Neuroshima.”
