The game's optimization is criticized, particularly at higher difficulty levels, where players experience significant frame drops due to excessive on-screen action. Comparatively, other survivor clones like Brotato and Rogue: Genesia offer better performance and more content, even at a similar price point.
- “When you start progressing towards the higher difficulty, the game experiences some optimization issues, resulting in noticeable frame drops, especially when my character is firing too many shots per second and there are numerous projectiles on screen.”
- “Even at $5, you can find plenty of other survivor clones with much more content and better optimization, such as Brotato or Rogue: Genesia.”

Players note that while there is a variety of weapons available, only a couple are truly viable due to significant drawbacks, such as reduced damage and low attack speed. This limits the overall replayability, as many weapons feel ineffective and discourage experimentation.
- “There are many different weapons to choose from, but only 1-2 are actually viable. The downsides of the weapons are too significant, like getting -50% on physical damage, which is the majority of the damage you deal in this game. The attack speed is too low, and they only hit one enemy at a time.”
- “Once you complete the main story, there’s little incentive to replay the game. The side quests feel repetitive and don’t add much to the overall experience.”
- “The game lacks meaningful choices that would encourage replayability. After the first playthrough, everything feels predictable and stale.”
