The gameplay is centered around third-person shooting in a small PvP arena, with some players criticizing its execution and suggesting improvements like increased time-to-kill (TTK). While the game features a blend of shooter mechanics, MOBA abilities, and RTS-style base-building, it suffers from bugs, lackluster AI, and generic shop designs, leading to mixed reviews on its overall enjoyment and potential for pay-to-win elements. Despite its unique mechanics and character customization options, many players recommend waiting for further development before diving in.
“Gameplay consists of third-person shooting in a small, closed PvP arena.”
“Revn seamlessly combines solid third-person shooter mechanics with traditional MOBA ability mechanics and RTS-style base-building.”
“A lot of character customization (regarding gameplay, not cosmetics), a fun map with side objectives.”
“I've seen videos of the actual gameplay and it's not worth even 5 minutes of hassle.”
“Revn has unique gameplay mechanics and concepts, but I would not recommend it yet. The game still has a lot of bugs like clipping on walls, dropping out of the map, AI mobs that are not challenging enough, and the shop design in-game and in current matches is so generic. To add to that, the 5k credit giveaway is a big hoax; it will let you redeem it but at the same time, it will not give you the 5k credit in-game.”
“That can lead to some pay-to-win mechanics in the future.”

The game's story is criticized for being underdeveloped, with players feeling that the focus on PvP has come at the expense of rich single-player content, including storytelling and NPCs. While there are hints of deeper lore, the lack of substantial narrative elements and replayable content may lead to player fatigue over time.
“After that, there is no story visible yet, but every bit of it seems to have a feeling that there's more underneath the surface of the gun-moba. I really hope the devs either flesh this out or even just leave little panels with descriptions that hide lore akin to Destiny and their equipment.”
“- Burnout is real, and as there is no real replayable content at the moment, such as a storyline, you may get bored after the 500th match.”

The graphics in the game are criticized for being subpar, with issues such as broken textures and a lack of detail in the environment. Users report that the game appears to prioritize performance over visual quality, resulting in minor animations and an empty map. Additionally, there are complaints about AI characters having unrealistic accuracy, further detracting from the overall graphical experience.
“The graphics are stunning, with vibrant colors and detailed environments that truly immerse you in the game world.”
“The character models are incredibly well-designed, showcasing a high level of detail that enhances the overall experience.”
“The lighting effects and shadows add a layer of realism that makes every scene visually captivating.”
“The game's major issues come down to kill times, and limitations in minor animation, map flow, and minor entities. I'd wager this is to make the game less heavy on CPU/graphic dependency.”
“20 minutes for matchmaking (failed), can't form a team with my friends (apparently). Graphics are all set to high and still look terrible. The map is empty and the AI literally has aimbot with a 100% accuracy rate. I know it's a MOBA, but minions and enemy AI shouldn't have 100% accuracy.”
“Ads are very buggy, bots have literal aimbot, and there are broken graphics from textures.”

Players appreciate the loadout system that allows for strategic preparation before matches, but note that acquiring skills requires grinding for in-game gold by farming minions and jungle camps. This aspect of grinding can be seen as both a necessary part of progression and a potential chore, depending on individual player preferences.
“The loadout system lets you prepare before the matches with your preferred skills, which can be purchased with in-game gold obtained through farming minions and jungle camps.”
“Grinding for in-game gold feels tedious and repetitive, making the experience less enjoyable.”
“The constant need to farm minions and jungle camps for resources turns the game into a monotonous grind.”
