The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users criticizing them as outdated and unpolished, often comparing them to older titles. While some appreciate the charm and nostalgic feel, others point out issues like blurry text and poor textures, leading to an overall rating around 5/10.

“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.”
“Even when the graphics were maxed out, it looked like a game from several years ago.”

“Innovative gameplay”
“But the gameplay is just a fairly crappy Left 4 Dead 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 story has been criticized for its lack of depth, featuring bland, emotionless characters and a clichéd plot that draws heavily from tired tropes, including a problematic portrayal of ancient civilizations. Despite some claims of an immersive storyline, many reviewers find it to be poorly executed and uninspired, likening it to a "torture device" rather than an engaging narrative experience.
“- 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 humor in the game is 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 its commercial release on Steam, especially when compared to superior free mods available for Left 4 Dead.
“The voice acting is superb; it's not just good, 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.”
