The graphics have received mixed reviews, with many users noting a lack of adjustable settings and dated visuals reminiscent of PS2-era games.

However, the low price point is seen as a mitigating factor for some players.

The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic, primarily involving hitting paper targets without any engaging tank-on-tank combat or depth, leaving players disappointed after a long wait for a more dynamic experience.
“There is no real gameplay; all you do is hit paper targets. There is no tank-on-tank combat at all.”
“It’s just gameplay.”
“There is quite literally nothing else that is even close to this future style of gameplay, and I have been waiting for it for 2 years now.”

The game suffers from severe optimization issues, rendering it nearly unplayable for many users. Players report drastic frame rate drops, particularly when using optics, and experience noticeable input lag, raising concerns about its performance compared to other titles that run smoothly on the same hardware.
“Basically unplayable; it's so badly optimized.”
“Whenever I look through the optics, the game drops to 5 frames per second. I don't know if it's due to the poor performance, but there's a noticeable delay between control commands. My computer can run Boneworks and Half-Life: Alyx just fine, so I don't understand how this indie game can ruin the frames this badly.”
