- “Skill trees built for games with actual content but with the map/gameplay variety monotonous as hell.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their unique and vibrant art style, with many reviewers highlighting the stunning visuals and atmospheric design that enhance the overall experience. However, some players noted issues such as a distracting fuzzy filter and a decline in visual quality during longer play sessions. Overall, the game's aesthetic is considered a strong point, contributing to its enjoyable gameplay.
- “The neon aesthetic gives the maps a vibrant palette, with a set design reminiscent of Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo's megastructures, lending the game a gritty lived-in feel of a golden age turned garbage age.”
- “Very underrated gem, the visuals are absolutely gorgeous and the gameplay is a lot of fun.”
- “The graphics are stunning and really add to the overall atmosphere of the game.”
- “That said, the game feels way more sluggish than it used to, the balances seem harsh and targeted to slow gameplay down, progression feels really slow, prestige doesn't feel worth it, guns feel very samey, and the graphics seem like they have this weird fuzzy filter at all times that causes massive eye strain.”
- “The visuals look fine, the music is forgettable but still fine, the dialogue is amusing but somewhat repetitious and the story mostly just exists to justify the gameplay; and does not have much compelling depth beyond that.”
- “Besides the graphics, and the smooth gameplay.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its comedic elements and engaging art style. However, some critiques highlight a disconnect between the humor and gameplay mechanics, particularly regarding the limited power sets available at launch. Overall, the game successfully incorporates humor into its design, enhancing the overall experience for players.
- “I don't mind xenos being a reward for beating a boss, considering how hilarious they are, but it's still a glaring oversight in my opinion to launch with two power sets folks will be stuck with, probably for several hours.”
- “This one seems really good, has great art, a nice sense of humor, a gameplay loop that keeps you coming back... it's fluid, not a lot of bugs... I highly recommend it to anyone who likes more visceral roguelites... not sure what all the NFT hate is about, seems like much noise to do about nothing.”
