Gameplay is primarily focused on third-person shooting within a small PvP arena, but it has received mixed reviews due to issues like bugs, lack of challenge from AI, and concerns over potential pay-to-win mechanics. While some players appreciate the combination of shooter mechanics with MOBA abilities and RTS-style base-building, others criticize the overall execution and find it unworthy of investment at this stage. Character customization and engaging map design are noted positives, but the gameplay experience is marred by technical flaws and generic shop mechanics.
- “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 are not challenging enough, and the shop design in-game and in current matches is so generic. 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 monetization has been criticized as predatory, with users highlighting the prevalence of aggressive schemes and buggy ads that detract from the overall experience. Many feel that these issues, combined with technical problems like broken graphics and bot behavior, contribute to the game's failure.
- “Part of the reason for the game failing was predatory monetization.”
- “The game is absolutely infested with nasty monetization schemes.”
- “Ads are very buggy, and bots have literal aimbot on, resulting in broken graphics from textures.”

The game's story is largely absent, with developers relying on PvP elements instead of crafting a rich single-player experience filled with narrative and NPCs. While some players sense potential lore beneath the surface, the lack of engaging storytelling 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 animations and map design. Players report that the game appears to prioritize performance over visual quality, resulting in an empty map and AI enemies exhibiting unrealistic accuracy. Overall, the graphical experience is deemed disappointing and buggy.
- “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.”

- “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 lack of variety in gameplay makes it hard to stay engaged for more than a few sessions.”

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.”
