- Challenging but rewarding gameplay loop with good replayability, including a training mode for bosses and customizable difficulty settings.
- Camera issues, especially during boss fights, with awkward angles and obstructions that can hinder combat and cause frustration.

Overall, it delivers a stylish, fun, and deep gameplay experience that may require patience to master fully.
“From the stylization, to the mechanics to the self-agency this game is an easy 10/10 for me and is now sitting beautifully in my gems display folder.”
“The visual style is very unique, the gameplay is rewarding, both on the stealth and the combat side of things, the enemies are challenging yet manageable, the bosses are cool, and it's got a sort of non-linear progression style tailored through gear you find that lets you augment certain ways to play that benefit methods you might like more than others.”
“Fantastic gameplay mix of yakuza brawling and metal gear solid stealthing, with a little rougelite in the mix.”
“Loot is pretty much meaningless and once you've beaten one enemy you've exhausted the entirety of the gameplay loop.”
“I'm confident in saying this game completely failed at making me actually want to engage with most of its mechanics - don't get me wrong, this game has all the elements to be the best version of what it is, but it doesn't use them properly.”
“The game already tries to be a lot of things at once as evident by my initial descriptor of it, but gear with minimal/extreme stat/effect changes with no in-between that also has durability of which can randomly break upon death, that also must be recovered from the third level specifically of the first (and i assume every other) area when skipping levels upon death costs the in-game currency and said equipment can be upgraded from the second level specifically, the one before you recover your equipment which may or may not have broken or lost armor points, feels extremely unnecessary and feeds into one of the ways to make this game a major grind fest to play while you try and figure out its gameplay.”
