    • “With solid, polished gameplay, it's suitable for any age or skill level.”
    • “Penguins Arena: Sedna's World's gameplay mechanics might not be the most refined or innovative out there; after all, it's a game about penguins shooting snowballs at each other, and even that simple mechanic has problems working properly sometimes.”
    • “Fighting is entirely random for inexperienced players and gives experienced players/bots an edge, leading to unfair gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay is okay, slightly too fast-paced for my liking; however, it's still really good.”
  • graphics29 mentions

    • “This game's beautiful visuals and amazing profound story.”

    • “Absolutely the most cutting edge graphics I've ever experienced in my life.”
    • “There is no good way to say this: as the game feels and plays like a 90s LAN arcade, it looks like one of those as well; the overall graphics are bad, but what is even worse is the repetition of environmental items. Moving from one map to another is no big deal as they all look and feel the same, and the only thing that differentiates one from another is the position of certain objects on that map.”
    • “The graphics are very simple.”
    • “Okay game with cute graphics, all in all it's nothing much.”
  • story19 mentions

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many praising its depth and character development, particularly in the context of a humorous yet dark narrative involving penguins and themes of survival and conflict.

    • “I'm fairly certain that when I first played this game last year, it didn't have the intro video from which I summarized the story - turned the game from a 'cutesy casual FPS' to a gritty FPS that won't offend most sensibilities.”
    • “There is no story here, Penguins Arena is pure arcade, and even though the days of minimalistic maps and limited abilities are long gone, this is the kind of game that still manages to keep you entertained for a while even in the absence of modern day game concepts.”
  • music15 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players finding it enchanting and catchy, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking variety. While a few users appreciate the upbeat tunes that enhance the gameplay experience, many express frustration over the limited soundtrack and poor audio design, often opting to play with their own music instead. Overall, the music can elevate the mood for some, but its repetitiveness may detract from the experience for others.

    • “The enchanting music and fantastic gameplay made everything wretched in my horrible excuse for a life turn around as soon as I got my hands on those sticks, bro, I swear.”
    • “I cried for a few minutes, but the tears evaporated almost immediately when I heard the music.”

    • “The audio design is also not that good; the soundtrack is really annoying and most of the time I turn it off when I start playing.”
    • “Audio effects are just as bad as the visuals, with sounds missing modern notions such as tonality or pitch. You will probably play this one with your music in the background; that is probably the best way to go since the soundtrack is just as annoying, with the same song playing over and over again until you eventually grow tired of it and stop noticing it at all.”
