The game's graphics evoke a nostalgic 80s and 90s aesthetic, featuring vibrant neon visuals and varied vehicle designs that enhance the overall atmosphere. While some players appreciate the unique art style and moody environments, others criticize the color palette for making terrain navigation difficult. Overall, the graphics successfully create a captivating retro vibe, complemented by fitting music and voice acting.
- “The art style, the voice acting, music, and general vibe are amazing.”
- “Overall the game has nice graphics and a very cool 1980's dystopian neon future look to it.”
- “The graphics, music, and sound effects are a retro 1980's style pulled off really well.”
- “The aesthetic is dark and muddled.”
- “I understand that you're going for a more neon-synthwave fitting art style for your game, but the color palette on terrain being a mix of washed out whites, grays, and light browns makes it exceedingly difficult to tell what kind of terrain you're actually driving on and how to handle the car accordingly.”
- “I also feel like the cyberpunk/escape from New York style aesthetic is actually the wrong pick for this kind of game, and it could've benefitted from a different tone.”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players criticizing the aim assist, map design, and enemy fairness, while others appreciate the innovative mechanics and tight controls. The driving mechanics received some calls for improvement, but the overall experience is enhanced by a fitting synthwave soundtrack and satisfying gameplay elements. Despite some flaws, many players find the gameplay enjoyable and challenging, with a nostalgic feel reminiscent of classic titles.

- “The gameplay is really good, the controls are tight and it feels satisfying; the menu system is also really easy to use and cool.”
- “Aim assist (not something casual as in other games and is actually needed here) is awful, map builds are awful, gameplay is awful, fairness of enemies is awful (normal enemies are gonna take down your multi-upgraded shield in one shot!), and physics is horrifically awful.”
- “And yes, you gain money and get repairs, weapons and stuff between maps, another not fun headache mechanic.”
- “What's sad is that it's not because of the lack of resources and effort: the game is simple, in terms of graphics, gameplay, features, but that's fine.”

The game lacks a traditional narrative, focusing instead on a lone wolf experience reminiscent of "Mad Max," where players aim to achieve fame and fortune through deathmatches. While there is no structured story or missions, the atmospheric visuals and moody environments allow players to create their own narratives, enhancing the overall enjoyment. Many users express hope for future updates that might introduce a more defined story mode.
- “The visuals might not look amazing, but the whole atmosphere feels just great. Despite the game not having a story, I was creating a story by myself simply because of the atmosphere of the game. Everything looks moody, with no sunlight, neon lighting, and maps that add to the experience. You see destroyed cities with older-looking buildings, and in other maps, you see the whole city in the background. The game doesn’t have anything advanced honestly, but the atmosphere it creates is top-notch.”
- “A lot of fun for $5! I only have a little bit of time on it, but I'm enjoying it. Can't wait until they add the story into this!”
- “The game doesn’t really have a traditional story; you’re basically a lone wolf (for example, Mad Max) trying to make some money and fame in those to-the-death wreckfests, and your goal is to become a champion.”
- “It has no missions like the Vigilante 8 series, only pure good action.”
- “A lot of fun for $5 (only have a little bit of time on it but I'm enjoying it); can't wait until they add the story into this!”

- “You will find it quite difficult initially until you have done this, and it does take a bit of grinding to achieve a decent setup.”
