The graphics are generally well-received, featuring a cool art style reminiscent of classic arcade shooters, though they are not the sharpest. While the aesthetic draws inspiration from titles like Metal Gear and Ghost in the Shell, players have reported minor graphical glitches and flickering issues that can disrupt gameplay. Overall, the visuals are decent and serve their purpose, but some technical problems may detract from the experience.
“The graphics are good on high, and the soundtrack is perfect for the game.”
“+ very cool art style”
“The aesthetic in design is very Metal Gear, Ghost in the Shell tech looking, which is also awesome.”
“I legitimately thought my game was bugged multiple times as the graphics flickered, expected sounds didn't exist (like movement), sounds and voice lines looped on themselves, and triggers to continue the game didn't work and I had to restart.”
“It's not Fallout VR graphics, but it does remind me of the typical arcade shooters you'd find at Dave & Buster's or something.”
“Graphically it's not the sharpest but your objectives are clear and everything is still visually manageable.”

The game's story aspect is minimal, featuring only a backstory rather than a full campaign, and consists of just three short missions. Players face the challenge of restarting entire missions upon death, which can detract from the experience. Overall, the focus is on fast-paced arcade shooting rather than narrative depth.
“The first mission took about 10-12 minutes to get to the boss; however, the game does pose a challenge and I have yet to beat the first level.”
“There isn't a real story campaign, just a back story.”
“This is a fun arcade shooter - you are not going to be slowed down by fetch-quests, a long intro/tutorial section, story cinematics, puzzles, etc.”
“It seems to be very short, as there are currently only three missions.”
