gameplay
14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
50% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions
The gameplay is generally fun and addictive, featuring smooth, skill-based combat with impactful weapons and a satisfying roguelite loop. However, boss design can be uninspired, and some bugs and generic AI issues occasionally detract from the experience. Overall, the developer captures the intended vibe and challenge, delivering a compelling but somewhat rough sci-fi roguelite.
- “A very simple but effective roguelike, with some fun variation in gameplay and a proper challenge.”
- “The weapons feel impactful, the gameplay is smooth, the game is challenging (even has an easy mode).”
- “Chaining abilities together is extremely fun and both kill combo and the rush meter reward quick and mistake-free gameplay.”
- “This is the sort of game where I feel the flaws betray inexperience with the developer, but the gameplay and design show that they 'get it'.”
- “If skill based gameplay and airtight combat is what you wish, I would suggest Kill Knight instead.”
- “Did you guys take some of your gameplay from the old Warframe?”
graphics

The graphics feature a unique cyberpunk aesthetic with slick, sci-fi visuals and smooth, engaging designs that impress fans of fast-paced action. However, launch-day polish issues like texture pop-in, minor graphical bugs, and inconsistent UI elements slightly detract from the overall presentation. With some fine-tuning, the visuals have strong potential to stand out in the genre.
- “It combines fast-paced action with incredible visuals, delivering a truly engaging experience.”
- “With a little fine-tuning and balancing, Simulakros could be a real standout in the action roguelike genre this year, thanks to its silky smooth controls and super slick aesthetics.”
- “I'm an avid Warframe player, so the sick Simulakros designs and the cool sci-fi visuals instantly caught my eye.”
- “Low polish noticeable with pop-in textures, minimalistic lore fluff, and some text font/formatting designs that clash with the overall aesthetic of the game and its presentation.”
- “There are a few typos here and there, and the odd graphical bug; however, this is launch day and things tend to release and get a lot of playtesting all at once so things can slip through the cracks.”
- “It visually looks like something you'd see on the box for a graphics card or in a benchmark.”
optimization
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions
The game currently suffers from noticeable optimization issues, including unstable frame rates and performance fluctuations that affect smooth gameplay. While limiting FPS to 60 improves stability, users still experience bugs and inconsistent performance, indicating the need for significant optimization patches.
- “The game experiences fluctuating performance around 110-120 FPS, indicating it needs a lot of optimization.”
- “The game is fun but very unstable and buggy, with issues like guns refusing to shoot though skills still function; hopefully, some performance patches will arrive soon.”
- “There are significant performance issues that make the game hard to recommend in its current state.”
- “The game could use more optimization as I experienced annoying FPS drops when trying to run it above 60 FPS, but limiting it to 60 made it pretty smooth overall.”
- “There is an issue with optimization that affects performance.”
- “The game runs fluctuating between 110-120 FPS, with frequent ups and downs, indicating it needs a lot of optimization.”
music
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions
The music and overall soundtrack are enjoyable and enhance the cyberpunk atmosphere, though some users initially experienced sound design issues with enemy audio being muffled, which was addressed in a patch. The gunplay and original score receive positive remarks.
- “Gunplay and OST are enjoyable too.”
- “Play this with the Deadlink/First Descendant soundtrack to enhance the cyberpunk vibes.”
- “Sound design is horrible; your android skills, guns, and the overall music are fine, but the enemies are muffled, silent, and barely hearable, which is a problem in a game that requires fast reaction time (fixed in patch 1.1).”
- “Sadly, I am stuck on the hack mission for the second time now; I hack all terminals and kill all remaining opponents, then I can't exit the room, music keeps playing, timer keeps running.”
story
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions
The story is minimal and unobtrusive, serving more as a backdrop than a focal point, which suits the game's short, roguelite style. While the narrative is inoffensive and straightforward, it does little to engage players deeply. Some gameplay issues, like bugs during missions, may also interrupt the experience.
- “A plot that is paper-thin and barely present, so it doesn't really get in your way either.”
- “Sadly, I am stuck on the hack mission for the second time now; I hack all terminals and kill all remaining opponents, then I can't exit the room. Music keeps playing and the timer keeps running.”
stability

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including random glitches like weapons failing to reload, enemies getting stuck, character invisibility, and occasional freezes caused by certain perks. Despite its fun gameplay, it remains buggy and unstable, with hopes for performance patches to address these problems.
- “Weapons randomly stop reloading, enemies get stuck on a particular ramp and go haywire, character turns invisible randomly, the reboot perk freezes the game occasionally.”
- “Fun game bought it at launch but very unstable and still a bit buggy, guns refusing to shoot but skills still functioning.”
- “Hopefully some performance patches on the way soon.”
