The gameplay is characterized by intense and hectic combat that emphasizes survival and enemy engagement, though players may initially struggle with certain gun mechanics and the inability to perform multiple actions simultaneously. While the arcade-shooting experience is fun and challenging, it requires players to adapt to some peculiar mechanics before fully enjoying the game. Overall, the focus on skill and limited perks adds depth, but concerns about content longevity persist.
- “However, I won't say that it's a 'con' for the game since the intense gameplay does keep things hectic enough for you to focus more on the enemies and other survival/combat-related items as opposed to anything else.”
- “+ Fun and challenging enough arcade-shooting gameplay, but the game has some slight mechanics that you might have to get the hang of first before it will start to be fun... you know, understand how things really work.”
- “The gunplay here takes a while to warm up to, especially since certain guns have some weird recoil mechanics, and you'll quickly learn that you can't do two things at once, like dodge-rolling while shooting.”
- “Lack of content seems like a constant complaint with this genre, but solid gameplay only keeps you hooked for so long.”
- “The gameplay appeal here isn’t stacking up items and becoming overpowered, but relying solely on skill and experimenting with a limited combination of perks.”
