The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that are easy to pick up, making it accessible for new players, but many users find it repetitive and frustrating due to issues like unintuitive controls and long matchmaking times. While the game offers fun cooperative experiences and interesting mechanics, it suffers from bugs and a lack of variety in gameplay, leading to a sense of monotony after extended play.

- “The gameplay gets repetitive really fast.”
- “This game just undoes your work and makes you do it again when you get close to winning in order to make the gameplay more than two minutes.”

I've played only 3 hours and I already have done more than half of the achievements in the game. I feel like I just lost my money on this game.”
- “When you play 3 missions, you will see all the game has to offer if you’re worried about replayability, which there is none.”
