The gameplay of this title is largely based on the classic Wolfenstein 3D mechanics, featuring familiar elements such as navigating maps, defeating enemies, and solving puzzles, but with a unique biblical twist. While some players appreciate the nostalgic feel and engaging mechanics, others criticize the dated design, lack of enemy feedback, and occasional repetitiveness. Overall, it offers a mix of fun and frustration, appealing mainly to fans of retro FPS games.

- “The gameplay greatly benefits from modern features, including but not limited to strafing and turning at the same time.”
- “Overall, it's classic Wolfenstein gameplay, with new enemies and designs that are surprisingly worth your time.”
- “Gameplay kind of sucks because it can be hard to read the enemy movements and telegraph their attacks.”
- “The gameplay was boring, voice acting was cringy and was way too short.”
- “While the gameplay is the exact same as Wolfenstein 3D, there's something about the shooting that really bothers me compared to Wolf 3D, and that's that the enemies have zero feedback when you shoot them.”

- “Whether you believe the story of Noah is historical or a work of fiction, it's an entertaining premise.”

- “The refined gameplay and brilliant graphics and story twists of this game kept me playing for many hours.”
- “The plot is virtually nonexistent and can be skipped through by clicking when it comes up.”

- “The refined gameplay and brilliant graphics and story twists of this game kept me playing for many hours.”

The humor in this game is largely derived from its absurd premise of a "Doom"-style shooter set on Noah's Ark, featuring ironic and unintentional comedic elements that poke fun at both the source material and the game's execution. Players find amusement in the juxtaposition of biblical themes with over-the-top gameplay, such as shooting animals with feed, and the game's resemblance to classic titles like "Wolfenstein 3D." While the humor may not resonate with everyone, it offers a lighthearted experience that can be entertaining, especially for those familiar with the original games it parodies.
- “It's kind of hilarious going around shooting feed at goats until they fall asleep knowing that the devs just used goat-colored paint to cover up the bloody Nazi bodies of the engine this game was based off of.”
- “Definitely Wolfenstein 3D, but instead of portraits of Hitler, it's portraits of Noah (which is pretty funny).”
- “All in all, if you're a fan of Wolf3D and are looking for an unintentional, but hilarious, mockery of the Christian faith from a well-meaning developer (Wisdom Tree) that's also fun to play, get this.”
