- “The neon lights are reminiscent of 80’s graphics, but the player model fits perfectly into Warframe.”
- “The idea for the visuals was interesting, and I'm assuming that most of the assets are placeholder, so the overall visuals are solid considering that.”

The optimization of the game has received significant criticism, with users reporting poor performance even in "performance mode," which lacks clear explanations for its settings. Many players find the game's visual effects, such as lighting and bloom, hinder visibility and overall gameplay experience, leading to comparisons with better-optimized free-to-play alternatives.
- “I was mostly talking about the performance settings, which I admit I wasn't being fair to generalizing to the entire menu.”
- “My original statement was implied speculation, and I have honestly no clue nor care to want to properly test if it does because I still have no idea what the performance options do.”
- “Under 'performance mode' it's even worse because there is exactly zero explanation of what this could ever be (unlike the last option, which likely is for the bloom in the game).”
- “My original statement was implied speculation, and I honestly have no clue nor care to want to properly test if it does because I still have no idea what the performance options do.”
- “The lighting effects and bloom make things incredibly hard to see, and frankly nothing about the game looks or plays well - the game offers nothing you can't get from just about every free-to-play FPS game on the market right now, and most of those games will be far better optimized.”

Many reviewers express disappointment that the game prioritizes multiplayer elements over a meaningful story or progression, leaving the narrative feeling inadequate.
- “But my favorite thing about this whole game is the incredibly ridiculous story they try to sell you.”
- “This is total bullcrap; the immersion comment could have been used if this was a story-based game, but this is not that.”
- “Bot matches, empty neon PvP arenas, and other players (if there were any) are not an acceptable substitute for adding story/progression-based interactive game content to a game.”

The monetization strategy has been criticized as a "cheap lazy cash grab," with users expressing dissatisfaction over the premium content, which they feel offers minimal value beyond basic mode additions like 5v5.
- “The cheap, lazy cash grab of the premium. I have not played with premium, but the rest of it is terrible and only adds modes like 5v5.”

- “It's frustrating to see so many paywalls in a game that could be enjoyable without the constant pressure to spend money.”
