The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it slow and tedious, particularly due to lengthy reload times and a console-like aiming system that detracts from the experience. However, others appreciate the solid mechanics, rewarding upgrade system, and enjoyable elements reminiscent of classic titles, despite some calls for improvements like a cancel-reload feature. Overall, while the graphics and certain gameplay aspects are praised, the pacing and realism may not appeal to everyone.
“Game mechanics and weapon handling are solid.”
“The gameplay and graphics are very good.”
“I am very happy that there are people out there that love and remember Deadhunt as much as I do - and Project Rip delivers the simple and fun gameplay of the former with power-ups, hordes of menacing demons, and grim-looking locations.”
“Even if the scare effect is a bit better than Killing Floor, the gameplay is really slow and boring after a while.”
“It's kinda cool with the premise and the advancement, but the gameplay is really bad.”
“If you go by that gameplay, the game is shockingly bad.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with many reviewers noting that it lacks depth and narrative context, making the gameplay feel shallow and repetitive. While some appreciate the arena-style shooting mechanics, they express a desire for a more engaging story mode to enhance the experience. Overall, those seeking a rich narrative will likely be disappointed, as the game primarily focuses on wave-based combat against demons without a compelling storyline.
“Storyline would make the game better!”
“Those looking for a story-rich game... maybe not.”
“Well, there is no story mode, but if you are looking for a game where you only want to kill zombies and demon creatures infinitely, then this game is for you.”
“Lack of story or reason for why I am shooting the demons. I mean, yeah, it's demons, let's shoot some demons. Doom didn't have much of a story, but this has none.”
“Yes, there is not much of a story, but how can there be when everything died and only demons remain.”

Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game; while some find the experience of earning XP and in-game currency rewarding, others feel that the repetitive nature of grinding for levels and upgrades becomes tedious and stale, leading to frustration and even refunds. The lack of engaging content during grinding sessions detracts from the overall enjoyment, despite the potential benefits of upgrades.
“Grinding for levels (first weapon is at level 3 and you start at 0, not even level 1) is not fun. If I wanted to grind, I'd play Destiny or Halo Reach.”
“After an hour of grinding the same map with so few enemies appearing, the experience got incredibly stale and I inevitably put in for a refund.”
“Just pointless grinding.”

The game's atmosphere is heavily praised for its dark and immersive environments, which effectively create a sense of dread and exploration. While the graphics and overall ambiance are considered brilliant, some reviewers suggest that improvements in sound design could enhance the experience further. The combination of foggy settings and detailed visuals contributes to a captivating and eerie atmosphere that keeps players engaged.
“The dark, dank environment is thick with atmosphere, and this atmosphere is smeared liberally all over your screen.”
“Brilliant graphics, brilliant atmosphere, brilliant weapon and class upgrades.”
“The environment was awesome; in the tomb, the dull and foggy atmosphere made it a great place to get lost and scared when you see one of those massive creatures.”
“Some improvements to sound design could help this (and maybe not quite so much atmosphere).”
