The gameplay is characterized by its fast-paced, chaotic, and straightforward twin-stick mechanics, focusing on reflex-driven action rather than complexity. While the consistent mechanics and audio design create a reliable pick-up-and-play experience, some players may find the lack of evolving gameplay leads to fatigue over time. Overall, the game struggles to stand out due to its generic gameplay and uninspired writing, which may limit long-term engagement.
- “It is a title that knows exactly what it wants to be: loud, fast, chaotic, and unapologetically simple, offering a focused experience aimed at players who value reflex-driven gameplay over complex systems.”
- “Gameplay revolves around classic twin-stick controls, with one stick handling movement and the other dedicated to aiming and firing.”
- “These encounters provide moments of heightened challenge, even if their mechanics remain consistent with the game’s overall arcade philosophy.”
- “In the end, Seal Team 12 doesn't stand out in any way, as its bad writing (which seems to be purposeful) doesn't get the laughs it wants, and the gameplay is too generic for it to stand out in any way.”
- “Leaderboards and unlockable challenges provide additional incentives for mastery, though the core gameplay loop changes very little over time.”
- “For some players, this consistency is a strength, offering reliable, pick-up-and-play action; for others, the lack of evolving mechanics may lead to fatigue after prolonged sessions.”

Overall, the story is functional but not a focal point of the experience.
- “Story elements are minimal and largely decorative, serving only as loose justification for the nonstop action.”
- “The story, as seen by the name of your main enemy, is not to be taken too seriously with its over-the-top writing but is at least coherent.”
