The gameplay is characterized as a shooting range simulator with capable graphics and a fun experience, though it suffers from janky controls and a flawed aiming mechanic. While the gunplay is taken seriously and offers varied experiences with different weapons, the overall gameplay feels somewhat limited and unrefined. Players can expect around 5.2 hours to achieve completion, making it a budget-friendly option, but not on par with more detailed shooters.
“Earning all the achievements in reload will take around 5.2 hours of gameplay.”
“With acceptable visuals and heavy, atmospheric music, it would be just an okay game - however, the creators took the gunplay very seriously, so using different weapons leads to quite different gameplay as well.”
“Overall, I think it's a fun shooting range game well worth the price tag, just don't expect the attention to detail of World of Guns or Call of Duty gameplay.”
“However, the controls and overall gameplay can feel janky and unrefined at times.”
“It does what it says it does and it's really cheap, but the main mechanic, which is aiming, is rather flawed.”

The story aspect of the game is somewhat mixed; while it encourages players to create their own narrative through gameplay, some missions can feel lengthy and tedious. The tutorial provides limited control guidance, which can hinder specific missions, but there are enjoyable elements, such as shooting ranges, that add to the overall experience.
“Some of the missions are a bit long and get extremely tedious, but there is some fun to be had with some of the shooting ranges.”
“I did, however, use these skills to save the girl I love and the world (plus every other world out there), so I guess the idea is to just create your own story in real life, like I did.”
