The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users finding it boring and flawed due to underdeveloped mechanics, poor inventory management, and glitchiness. While some players enjoyed the humor and chaotic fun with friends, others criticized the controls and aiming mechanics, suggesting that the game needs significant improvements to be considered decent. Overall, the gameplay experience is seen as lacking depth and polish, leaving players wanting more.
“It has weird mechanics, and I do not think I have laughed to the point of tears as much as I did playing this game for just a little under an hour with 6 of my friends.”
“The glitchiness and underground - but still plenty of user-style gameplay is great - did I mention it is 89 cents?”
“I expect from the developers new interesting maps and full optimization of the gameplay.”
“It gets boring pretty fast, and there are issues I have with its gameplay—I don't think you can choose the map.”
“Underdeveloped, mechanics are flawed, and the inventory management is nonexistent. This game overall is very weak and needs much work before it is actually decent; you get what you pay for.”
“Terrible gunplay and wonky control mechanics. 2/10, don't buy.”

The graphics of the game have received positive feedback, with users praising the nice shaders, textures, and overall map design. Many appreciate the smooth performance even on lower-spec machines, although some have noted issues like motion blur that can detract from the experience. Overall, the visuals are considered a strong point, especially for an early access title.
“So far this seems like a very interesting game, the graphics are very nice, with good shaders, textures, and map design.”
“The game runs really smoothly even with the nice crisp graphics - it should be able to run on low-spec or mid-spec machines.”
“Good old 'army men', but with graphics and high-quality sound.”
“Motion blur should be an option to turn off; little things like that can make the graphics worse, and it's very bad to have in a shooter game.”
“I hope the developers fix the graphics theme, as it can be too low on official servers because the host has to adjust it themselves. I recommend this game; it's in early access and can be great. It reminds me a little bit of Army Men and Battlefield.”
