The gameplay is widely praised for its satisfying mechanics, smooth movement, and engaging gunplay, reminiscent of titles like "Hotline Miami" and "My Friend Pedro." Players appreciate the responsive controls and the challenge of timing takedowns and counters, although some express concerns about the game's short length and repetitive level design. Overall, the game shows great potential with its unique mechanics and consistent updates, making it a fun experience for fans of the genre.
“Guns have a great punch and feel, movement is crisp, and the counter/execute mechanics are challenging to time but satisfying when they're pulled off.”
“The gameplay loop and shooting feels really good, and the sound design drives that home.”
“The one-shot-one-kill gunplay is immensely satisfying, and beautifully integrated into a gameplay loop that also includes takedowns, counters, and backstabs.”
“The problem isn't the gameplay or the mechanics; it's just that the game is super short and I wish it had more places or more things to do than just the 7 chapters of the campaign.”
“Its mechanics are sound, but there's little to no content here in the way of longevity gameplay.”
“The first levels all feel kind of the same and the gameplay doesn't really feel any different or better than other top-down shooters with the same idea.”
