Gameplay in the game is characterized by a strong emphasis on movement abilities and dynamic scenarios, offering varied environments and objectives that keep the experience engaging. However, some players have reported issues with motion sickness due to lagging animations and excessive screen shake, which can detract from enjoyment. Additionally, while the game features a grind for weapon and skill upgrades, unlocking these elements significantly enhances gameplay depth.
- “Team Odd are honing in on making the actual gameplay great, and it shows when playing. Each room has a similar objective (kill a certain amount and find the door, kill a certain amount to complete the level, kill a boss, reach the end of the level) but differs in how the levels are built, like in a city to a plane where you jump off to land on another plane, a forest with trees blocking your view of what’s coming next, a farm that eventually leads into a neighborhood, or in a castle to fight a boss with only one safe place to block waves of projectiles.”
- “It’s essentially an FPS with a huge focus on strong movement abilities, wacky weaponry, and creating dynamic gameplay scenarios for the player to tackle.”
- “I think the big negative I have so far is the grinding of weapons and your skills. Once you have everything unlocked, the game opens up a lot, but you have to work towards it since some are really important, like the fever mechanic.”
- “As someone with light to medium motion sickness, the game has some lag in animation (for example, the gun moves 1 second after the screen moves), so there are many screen shakes and one of the most violent head wobbles I have ever seen. I had to stop the game due to a headache and the need to vomit like never before at the end of the first mission, which lasted only 2 or 3 minutes of gameplay.”

- “I think it's important to point out that this game is under a limited budget, so they had to resort to using things like AI for some assets, sound, and visuals. However, as of now, no AI has been used to affect or contribute to gameplay.”
