The gameplay is straightforward and revolves around completing levels by avoiding hazards and chasing down a target, but it suffers from repetitiveness and a lack of variety in challenges. While the mechanics can be enjoyable and provide a decent challenge, the absence of a compelling story or significant gameplay innovations makes it feel limited, especially for those seeking more engaging experiences. Overall, it caters to both casual and hardcore gamers, but many reviewers suggest there are better options available for the price.
- “The gameplay of kamikaze attack is straightforward; it consists of two worlds, each with levels that have challenges to complete, but with the same goal of chasing down Sam and blowing him up.”
- “From the gameplay to the lore, this game is for casual and hardcore gamers alike.”
- “The gameplay loop is simple enough, but can offer a real challenge with its bonus objectives.”
- “Despite the positives, it has some flaws, mainly that the game repeats the same type of level on the same map, where the last part of gameplay is very repetitive and boring without bringing new ideas to the game.”
- “No story or anything, just a series of challenge levels with a handful of gameplay and aesthetic rewards.”
- “Didn't expect much from a mobile port, but at least adding an in-game store or something would be nice, though the overall gameplay sucks beyond words.”
