The gameplay is characterized by fluid movement and impressive visuals, creating a fun and engaging experience, though some mechanics feel derivative and the on-rails nature can limit exploration. Players have noted the need for smoother controls and key rebinding options, particularly for flying, which can become physically taxing. Overall, while the game offers unique moments and a visually appealing environment, it presents a steep learning curve and can be frustrating at times.
- “I've encountered at least a couple of things/mechanics that made me go 'woah that was cool' and made the game worth it just for that.”
- “The gameplay is fun, the movement is fluid and smooth, graphics are pretty nice, performance with a GTX 1080 was acceptable.”
- “Impressive and beautiful visuals and overall solid gameplay, starts slowly, with your avatar chained to a flying rock but then builds up and soon you'll find yourself surrounded by mortal danger.”
- “Flying is exhausting on fingers; making them sore after 20 minutes of gameplay due to constant muscle contraction (and since the game is mostly about flying, it gets progressively worse over time). My suggestion is to allow rebinding keys (I'd prefer to use the analog stick to accelerate).”
- “Desperately needs smooth turning; normal flying doesn't make sense, it just feels lazy but slower, and the gameplay all just kinda feels hollow.”
- “The game is described as a 'flying VR shooter with refreshing unique mechanics', and yet most of the story is on-rails, only getting to fly around freely during the second boss and the last 'running' scene.”

The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many players praising the appealing art style and impressive visuals, particularly the well-executed polygon graphics. While some noted that the visuals can be overwhelming at times, the environments are described as beautifully rendered and varied, contributing to an engaging gameplay experience. Overall, the graphics are considered solid, with room for improvement but still effectively complementing the gameplay.
- “The visuals are really stunning as you drift through this cyberpunk fever dream.”
- “The environment is beautifully rendered and varied, you don't play the same thing twice with each section having unique visuals and different challenges to work through, making the game refreshingly unpredictable.”
- “I'm very impressed by the visuals and the polishing.”
- “Graphically it's okay, pushing basic.”
- “Decent visuals, if a bit of an eyesore with all the colors and movement on screen at any given time.”
- “It has decent graphics and the environment is original and cool, but the gameplay is either too difficult for me or the learning curve is high.”

The game's single-player story mode is brief, with only three levels that can be completed in under an hour, leaving players feeling unfulfilled and lacking character growth. While it features unique mechanics, much of the gameplay is on-rails, and the difficulty spikes with challenging bosses that can quickly lead to frustration. Overall, players suggest waiting for updates and purchasing the game on sale if primarily interested in the story.
- “Bottom line: after an 8-month sabbatical from a game I wasn't sure I would return to, I find myself with a mission to get through the single-player game at least.”
- “I have only played story mode so far which is pretty good; you're on rails but can move a little. I found using the room scale to avoid things works best.”
- “The game is described as a 'flying VR shooter with refreshing unique mechanics', and yet most of the story is on-rails, only getting to fly around freely during the second boss and the last 'running' scene.”
- “The story, if there is one (I really couldn't tell), does not make me feel like I've grown as a character, and I am left with only a feeling of 'move along to the next level.'”
- “I played the tutorial and the story mode (only 3 levels at the time of this review), which took me just under an hour to complete.”
- “Yes, but to be honest at this stage you are best to get this on sale. I haven't looked at the multiplayer mode yet, so I can't speak of how much content is there, but the single-player story is finished really quickly.”
