The game's story mode features a light narrative that connects short missions through brief cutscenes, but it is criticized for being simplistic and lacking depth. While some players find it provides enough motivation to progress, others describe it as poorly executed and almost non-existent, with a storyline that feels juvenile. Overall, the emphasis on gameplay over story is a recurring theme in the reviews.
- “The story mode adds a light narrative layer, linking together short missions with small animated sequences that give context to your shootouts.”
- “The game offers four distinct modes—quick mode, endless mode, story mode, and mini-games—each catering to a slightly different playstyle.”
- “While the story itself is not particularly deep or emotional, it provides enough motivation to keep players moving from level to level.”
- “The story mode is very basic, and very short, with a poor storyline, almost like it was written by a child.”
- “The menu is broken (or even worse: planned that way), the level design is not well made, the story non-existent, you have to find out everything about that unusual weapon handling yourself, and there is nothing really interesting about it.”

The game's graphics feature a modest indie aesthetic that emphasizes functionality over high fidelity, with a distinctive western-inspired style that complements its straightforward gameplay. While some players appreciate the unique art style, others find the blocky, Minecraft-like visuals lacking, suggesting that the graphics do not significantly enhance the overall experience. Ultimately, the consensus is that while the visuals are pleasant, they are not the game's main draw, and gameplay remains the priority.
- “The western-inspired setting lends a distinctive flavor to the visuals, giving the experience a rough, dusty tone that matches the game’s straightforward intensity.”
- “It is really enjoyable, has pleasant graphics, tight controls, and good music.”
- “Great concept with fantastic art style and map design.”
- “The game also doesn’t aim for high graphical fidelity, so players expecting cutting-edge visuals may be underwhelmed.”
- “Sadly, the graphics alone don't add value to the game, so I think even the actual price of 3.29 euros is too much for it.”
- “The graphics are blocky, Minecraft-style, which I don’t like, and there’s way less music than I expected (and less sound effects, too).”

The music in the game is generally described as decent but repetitive, providing a consistent rhythm that enhances the gameplay experience without being overly complex. While some players appreciate the energetic background music, others note its inconsistency and lack of variety, particularly in certain modes. Overall, the sound design, including ambient sounds and effects, serves its purpose but leaves room for improvement.
- “Gunfire, explosions, and ambient sounds do their job without overcomplicating the presentation, and the background music maintains a consistent rhythm that keeps you energized during play.”
- “Overall a fun game that is not trying to do too much and can serve as a braindead shooter game while you listen to music and zone out.”
- “It is really enjoyable, has pleasant graphics, tight controls, and good music.”
- “However, the music is pretty decent if generally repetitive.”
- “Music goes from loud to off moving the slider 1/5th of the way.”
- “The graphics are blocky, Minecraft-style, which I don't like, and there's way less music than I expected (and less sound effects, too).”
