The gameplay is highlighted for its innovative movement mechanics and smooth controls, offering a unique experience in zero gravity that is both easy to learn and challenging to master. Players appreciate the fast-paced, tactical nature of multiplayer matches, although some find the experience can become repetitive against highly skilled opponents. Overall, the game is praised for its engaging mechanics, fun weapon dynamics, and potential for future development, especially in expanding game modes and maps.
“The best part of the game is the movement mechanics, where skill directly affects speed.”
“The fact that the whole game takes place in zero gravity leads to interesting, uniquely challenging gameplay that is fairly easy to learn but difficult to master.”
“Great weapon/ability/movement balanced gameplay.”
“The feeling of flying in VR lasts about 5 seconds, and the gameplay is really boring after a few minutes getting slaughtered by the few really skilled players flying in super velocity while headshotting you with a handgun.”
“Right now it's mostly deathmatch, but team gameplay is available and more game modes are hopefully on the horizon.”
“As an early access title, the gameplay, maps, and mechanics are always improving in many small ways.”

Users highlight that the game excels in replayability by effectively addressing key VR challenges, offering engaging experiences through its flight mode and fast-paced PvP elements. This combination of thrilling gameplay mechanics encourages players to return for more.

“After finishing the main story, I found myself with no reason to replay the game, as the side content felt repetitive and uninspired.”
