    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for its lack of depth and polish, with some users finding it less engaging than mods for other games, while others appreciate the fast-paced action and the dynamic interplay between offense and defense facilitated by the bullet-time mechanic. However, issues like uneven terrain affecting movement can lead to frustration.

    • “It's not even about the length: I've seen better gameplay loops in Doom mods than this one. The junkiness, which at first is even entertaining, gets annoying really fast. Try dashing in uneven terrain, and you'll reach hyperspace.”
