Gameplay in the game is a mixed bag; while it features great visuals and polished mechanics, many players find the lack of clear explanations for various mechanics frustrating. The game is brief, limiting the use of deeper mechanics like upgrades, and some players feel it complicates rather than enhances the experience. However, others appreciate the interactive cockpit interface and the depth of gameplay, particularly enjoying the single-player seated format and the overall polish.
“The cockpit interface was amazingly detailed and interactive, the gameplay had a lot of depth and the boss fights were complex and exciting.”
“Super polished, fun gameplay, and a must-have in my opinion.”
“If you like sci-fi, great gameplay, and a seriously polished VR game, this one is for you.”
“Unfortunately, the game is too brief to utilize many of the more in-depth mechanics, such as upgrades, but the game could definitely be expanded on with this groundwork.”
“Finding the security card and not being told to go back to the elevator, using the unexplained dash mechanic to jump a gap or closing the bay door, to name a few.”
“Scraper just gets in the way of itself when it comes to gameplay and my personal answer is no.”

The game's story is generally regarded as interesting and well-developed, with engaging characters and a unique setting that enhances the experience. However, some players feel that the narrative suffers from poor checkpoint systems and a lack of backstory, as it begins midway through the plot. Despite these criticisms, many appreciate the missions and the immersive storytelling elements, particularly the context of being deployed in a military mech-pod.
“The story is interesting and there are a bunch of tablets to read to get more info about it.”
“I dig the story, characters, and setting.”
“Great missions that are not 'go kill 10 of these.'”
“As I was afraid, the story starts midway through.”
“You don't like the story or the fact that you get to explore the complex in a kick-ass attack pod... so be it, but don't criticize the game in reviews because it's not your cup of tea.”
“I read one review complaining about no walking... dude, it's a part of the story... you literally are deployed in a military mech-pod on a mission.”
