The game's story is structured around a mission-based system where players engage in various tasks such as eliminating gang members and completing objectives, reminiscent of extraction shooters like Tarkov. Players appreciate the variety in mission types and locations, as well as the satisfaction of inventory management and character progression, which adds depth to the gameplay experience. Overall, the narrative elements are engaging, providing a fun backdrop for the action and character development.
- “There's a nice bit of mission type variety, and the locations get more varied as you progress in the reputation system.”
- “The game operates on a mission system similar to the raids of Tarkov, where players will deploy to wipe out gangs of thugs, assassinate high-value targets, or upload viruses in server networks.”
- “Getting back to my apartment and sorting through my stash after a grueling mission was extremely satisfying, and with enough work, I built myself up to a tuxedo and armor-wearing John Wick eliminating gang after gang with my rifle and sidearm, only to get wiped out by a tactical team and start from square one again.”
- “For instance, after traversing the station, I didn't even know I was in a bomb defusing mission until it was a bit too late.”
- “Now to the gunplay, it does feel like a simpler, weighty version of Tarkov, but in a Yakuza subway mafia type setting. It's very pleasing to be honest, but every time I played a mission, all I was thinking was I want to lean around corners with Q and E, and I want to be able to crouch. The stamina mechanic, also slightly doubling as a health/shield, is fine, but the movement just feels limited.”
- “[spoiler] You could use the intro section and one or two missions the player can do, with stuff like shops maybe cut out so people can't access them with external bypasses. [/spoiler]”

The gameplay is characterized by well-developed gunplay and core mechanics, with meaningful integration of ammo and inventory management that enhances the FPS experience. While the movement feels fast and engaging due to energy drink buffs, the limited stamina system can lead to frustrating moments, and players express a desire for additional mechanics like leaning and crouching. Despite some repetitiveness in randomly generated maps, the addictive core gameplay loop keeps players invested, making it a worthwhile experience overall.
- “Gunplay and core game mechanics are far more developed than a first impression might imply.”
- “Ammo and inventory management are meaningfully integrated into FPS gameplay.”
- “And gameplay never feels slow, thanks to stacking energy drink buffs cranking your character's movement up to speeds that would put Sonic the Hedgehog in the ER.”
- “The limited stamina mechanic is hard to get used to and can lead to some very awkward moments of just walking down corridors at a snail's pace looking for something, but if you build a quick, high stamina build, the game is great.”
- “Its really frustrating because this game mechanically is everything I've wanted, a tactical customization single-player looter shooter like Tarkov.”
- “Now to the gunplay, it does feel like a simpler, weighty version of Tarkov but in a Yakuza subway mafia type setting.

The music in the game is notably limited, featuring only a couple of tracks and a few voice lines, which many players feel detracts from the overall experience. Reviewers suggest that the game would benefit from a more diverse soundtrack, with different music for various environments to enhance immersion. While some appreciate the fun and cyberpunk atmosphere of the existing music, the consensus is that more variety is needed.
- “Graphics aren't anything to write home about, but the music is fun and the overall atmosphere is on the cusp of cyberpunk if you like that.”
- “[spoiler] As far as I can tell, and from the point I've played up to, there's only really 2 music tracks that play in the background one after the other.”
- “There can't be more than 3 songs and a couple dozen voice lines in the whole game.”
- “As far as I can tell, and from the point I've played up to, there's only really 2 music tracks that play in the background one after the other.”
- “To counteract this, you could have varying soundtracks for different sections of the 'lobby' of the game (i.e.: soundtrack for being inside the house; background noises for being just outside; soundtrack for being inside the shopping mall; reduced/no background noise when inside the train station - it'll usually be tense since people here will often be heading to their mission.)”
