The gameplay is characterized by a variety of abilities and weapons, offering dynamic movement options and a high skill ceiling, which many players find engaging. While the mechanics are generally solid and polished, some users feel the gameplay lacks depth and variety, particularly in its current early access state, with limited content and a need for further refinement. Overall, the game shows promise but requires additional elements and improvements to fully realize its potential.
- “Choice in abilities and weapons keeps the gameplay snazzy, and there's a lot of movement options with a high skill ceiling for players to strive for.”
- “Everything here is perfect for such an early build: excellent damage registration, good balance, and dynamic gameplay.”
- “Anyways, the music slaps, the movement feels nice, and the gameplay feels deep and polished.”
- “I'm sorry, but the gameplay is so basic and boring.”
- “Still in early access, the gameplay is somewhat confusing, but it is a mixed type of breed of FPS.”
- “Been eyeing this game since I saw it at a convention back in 2015. To my disappointment, it's still the same as before. It took a lot of time, so I was expecting new elements within the game, new weapons, maps, and classes. Sure, it's great that each weapon has its different customization, but currently, it's limited because we have few weapons yet. I'd say it's smooth and natural once you get the hang of the mechanics, but it just needs a lot of improvement.”

- “The graphics are a bit generic, but from what I can tell.”
- “My only wish, especially as a Mega Man fan, is that Project Xandata characters, which are based on the Mega Man design aesthetic, could have a bit more bulk or sharper edges to their armor. This would make them look more unique rather than fully embracing the Mega Man aesthetic.”
