- “The plot is somewhat cliché, and there are a handful of grammatical errors, but aside from that it's a very charming experience.”
- “The artwork is nice, each of the characters has a unique weapon and special ability (even if the preacher's is simply "has a big gun"), and the story, while not completely understandable (there are more than a few spelling and grammar errors), was still interesting enough to me.”

The gameplay is a typical bullet hell shooter with wave-based mechanics that can become repetitive over time, though some appreciate the added enemy variety and mechanics. While the core gameplay is seen as mediocre, the game's art style and story add appeal. Some players enjoy the presentation despite occasional mismatches like an out-of-place soundtrack.
- “The gameplay at the moment is fine, your basic bullet hell shooter type of game with a little added mechanics or gimmicks and introducing new enemies along the way.”
- “Even though the gameplay is currently normal to most bullet hell shooter type games, the art style is a form of pixel art that is really good and I have to give credit to the artists of the game, since the game doesn't give many characters a lot of screen time.”
- “I really liked the presentation and gameplay but the soundtrack was super out of place and annoying.”
- “The wave-based gameplay wasn't much fun and it got repetitive fast.”
- “The gameplay can get repetitive at some point, but I like the story and the style of the game.”
