The story is generally seen as average or "meh," with some players finding it believable and appreciating its underlying moral about perseverance. However, it is often overshadowed by gameplay issues and comparisons to similar games like Hotline Miami.
- “This game is definitely a Hotline Miami clone, has a believable story, good level design.”
- “The story is meh, too.”
- “You start every mission with punches, shurikens, and sword but because of clunky commands you'll never be able to hit anything, neither with shurikens nor the sword (which won't work if you're close to a wall, which always happens).”
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”

- “Very interesting gameplay.”
- “Gameplay is good.”

The game suffers from poor optimization, lacking in-game settings to adjust performance, which leads to frequent frame drops and a frustrating experience, especially since players can die quickly due to these issues.
