Players have criticized the game's server optimization, noting significant lag during matches against AI as the game progresses, which hampers gameplay quality. Improved code optimization is seen as a crucial need to enhance performance and restore the game's competitiveness.
“The server code is so poorly optimized; when you play against the A.I., the later in the game it gets (e.g., the more the A.I. takes up server processing time), the laggier your inputs become, making it impossible to play against even the A.I. at a high level.”
“If they just optimized their code, they could bring this game back.”

The gameplay is characterized as fast-paced and thrilling, though some players find it excessively quick from the start. While the game features deep mechanics, the tutorial is criticized for being inadequate and not effectively teaching players the necessary skills.
“By default, the gameplay is fast-paced, too fast from the beginning but still quite thrilling.”
“Art is good, gameplay is deep (the tutorial... well, I can't say it's a tutorial... it almost teaches you nothing).”

The music in the game is highly praised, with players finding it fantastic and integral to their overall enjoyment. However, there is a sense of disappointment regarding the game's lack of ongoing support, which detracts from the overall experience.
“I really enjoyed the character models, music, maps, etc. in this game and felt they were fantastic. It pains me to see the game no longer supported, becoming a dead title in my library.”

The inclusion of a story mode is seen as a potential enhancement to the game's appeal, though reviewers agree that it is not essential for enjoyment.
