The gameplay is largely reminiscent of the original versions, featuring familiar mechanics but with some new upgrades and levels. However, it has been criticized for introducing unnecessary complexity, such as power-up inventory management and slower animations, which detract from the overall experience. While nostalgic for some, the gameplay may not appeal to newcomers due to its simplicity and perceived decline in challenge.

- “There isn't much else to worry about because the mechanics are so straightforward.”
- “Yet another nostalgia cash grab with inferior art style and dumbed down gameplay.”
- “If you haven't played the originals, you probably won't be enticed to check out this reboot that generally preserves the original mechanics, but clutters up the simple control set with unnecessary power-up inventory management and slower water transition animations (also dumber enemy AI that's easier to avoid than ever before).”
- “The gameplay remains unchanged.”
