The gameplay of "South Pole Bebop" is a mix of turn-based mechanics inspired by "Into the Breach," featuring elements like characters, zombies, and structures. While some players appreciate the character design and mechanics, many find the core gameplay repetitive and lacking excitement, as it primarily revolves around characters and zombies simply attacking each other. Overall, the game offers a fun aesthetic but struggles to maintain engaging gameplay.
