The gameplay features impressive combat mechanics, particularly praised for their execution in a martial arts context, earning an 8/10 rating. However, players note that the map feels overly large for the current player count, which diminishes opportunities for stealthy attacks typical in battle royale games. With some refinement, the potential for a great MMO experience is recognized.

- “Gameplay: 8/10”
- “Combat mechanics are some of the best I've ever seen in a PC martial arts game.”
- “From what I have observed in my short gameplay, the map is way too big for the number of players, and there doesn't seem to be a good way to attack someone who doesn't expect it, like in other battle royales where you shoot them from behind.”
