The gameplay of this title is characterized by its deep mechanics, rewarding player curiosity, and a high skill ceiling, making it both complex and engaging. Players appreciate the variety of movement options and loadout customization, although many express a need for better onboarding and tutorials to navigate the intricate systems. While the core mechanics are solid and enjoyable, some find the gameplay overwhelming due to the lack of explanations for various features, which can lead to a steep learning curve for new players.
- “A fun, somewhat complex, action-packed team objective game which rewards curiosity and where the players are there for the gameplay - not to grind loot boxes.”
- “The gameplay is extremely tight, with responsive movement and gunplay, and an almost absurd amount of room for skill expression through movement and loadouts.”
- “The gameplay reminds me a lot of the dynamism of Team Fortress 2, with its many loadouts, movement options, and wide web of playstyle potential, mixed in with the ephemeral chaotic nature of an arena shooter.”
- “The gameplay consists of you just dying at what feels like random to third party kills.”
- “There's a ton of mechanics and HUD elements all over the place with zero description as to what any of it is or how any of it works.”
- “The lack of any explanations is quite annoying; I get learning as you play, but for the people who don't want to overanalyze everything, they will just not learn certain mechanics.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback, with many praising its unique art style and cyberpunk aesthetic, which is described as visually stunning and immersive. However, some users report performance issues, such as low frame rates and stuttering, which detract from the overall experience. While the visuals are generally well-received, there are concerns about optimization and map design that may need addressing as the game evolves.
- “The sound design and graphics are satisfying and enjoyable.”
- “Incredible art style, vibes, and overall atmosphere.”
- “The graphics are nice, albeit dark.”
- “It's pretty stuttery and low FPS given it's a shooter, especially for how little is going on graphically.”
- “However, I can only get 40 frames per second using my Asus Zenbook with a unified graphics card, which makes the game unplayable for me if I want to compete with better players.”
- “There is just an inherent contradiction in the whole design of the game, and I don't think there is an interest in fixing the fact that even with very low cartoonish graphics, a movement-based shooter with slow projectile mechanics will simply not be a good gaming experience.”

- “Apart from this, the game runs smoothly even on older hardware at 60+ fps with almost no input or mouse delay.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, with slow meta progression and a lack of shared rewards across challenges leading to frustration. While some enjoy the opportunity to experiment with builds, the need to grind for essential upgrades and cosmetics detracts from the overall experience, making it feel overly demanding and unbalanced. The game caters to those who enjoy grinding for challenges, but many feel that the effort required is disproportionate to the rewards received.
- “Meta progression is notably slow and grindy.”
- “The base loadouts are beyond abysmal, and because progression through these incredibly numerous challenges isn't shared, each game I spent grinding points in intel was ultimately fruitless for the time being, only potentially rewarding far later down the line which was already kind of unpleasant to get to.”
- “The progression just seems way too grindy.”

The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its engaging cyberpunk aesthetic, impressive art style, and immersive sound design, creating a captivating experience. While some players find the gameplay challenging initially, the supportive community enhances the overall vibe. However, there are concerns about the game's rough edges, leading some to view it as an underdeveloped tech demo rather than a fully realized product.
- “The game has a dope atmosphere, great gameplay. It seems super hard at the beginning, but with a few tutorials or questions in the game chat or Discord, it gets clearer. I've found the community super welcoming and helpful!”
- “The cyberpunk aesthetic combined with the sound design create a great atmosphere!”
- “Incredible art style, vibes, and overall atmosphere.”
- “Despite my negativity, I like the idea of this game, from the implied atmosphere to what gunplay and even combat could one day feel like. However, this is far too rough around the edges to recommend to anyone who's not willing to pay $25 for what is essentially an underdeveloped tech demo.”
- “Because of the game’s physics-visuals combination—including some unbelievably cinematic moments accessed by, for example, activating one’s core—the atmosphere can take precedence over everything else.”

- “Or even missions (I'm thinking Perfect Dark N64/Modern Warfare 2's special ops mode) where you can appreciate the setting and theme of the game world at a digestible pace.”
- “As well, the gear and augments you can bring into missions are dizzyingly nuanced, and thus build crafting is incredibly vast.”
- “The story is disjointed and lacks coherence, making it hard to stay engaged.”

- “The plot twists feel forced and predictable, diminishing the overall impact of the narrative.”
