    • “It's unpolished but it has charm; it feels a lot like older games in terms of both weapons and visuals.”
    • “It's really next-gen graphics.”
    • “The graphics have been improved; the wired gauntlet thing is gone, and the 'personalized' clothing has been replaced with some sort of white and red 'armor' thing.”
    • “Right from the start you know you have stepped in it once you see the horrifying textures and graphics that look like barely any work was put into them.”

    • “Gameplay = 10/10”
    • “Amazing innovative gameplay”
    • “Innovative gameplay”
    • “But the gameplay is just a fairly crappy L4D knock-off. I would recommend that you try it, if only to experience the nonsensical crap the game has to offer.”
    • “The blurry text in the 'lore' option isn't that big of an issue, nor are the gross graphics (because gameplay over graphics, right? That said, the gameplay is worthy of the graphics...).”
    • “The gameplay is worthy of the graphics...”
  • story8 mentions

    The story is criticized for being clichéd and uninspired, featuring bland, emotionless characters with no backstory. Reviewers express frustration over the perceived racism in the portrayal of ancient civilizations and draw unfavorable comparisons to poorly received media, suggesting a lack of originality and depth in the narrative. Overall, the storytelling is described as a significant flaw in the game.

    • “- immersive storyline”
    • “Each character is some bland, emotionless person who you have no backstory of.”
    • “The story of this torture device disguised as a game is a boring and cliché-filled narrative pulled out of the writers' imaginations, including the Mayans (cleverly disguised as Aztecs) and crystal skulls, which were no doubt inspired by the Indiana Jones movie that everyone hated.”
    • “The story is filled with clichés and lacks originality, making it feel like a poorly constructed narrative with no depth or engaging characters.”
  • humor6 mentions

    The humor in the game is largely derived from its poor voice acting, which some players find amusingly bad, while others feel the overall quality is lacking to the point of being unfunny. Additionally, there's a sense of irony in the game's commercial availability on Steam, especially when compared to free, higher-quality mods.

    • “The voice acting is superb, not in that it's good, but because it's so bad that it's funny and good.”
    • “It's still funny that they were somehow allowed to sell on Steam while other, better Left 4 Dead mods are free and of better quality.”
    • “The voice acting is so bad that it adds a layer of humor to the game.”
  • stability2 mentions
