Uses Unreal Engine 4, providing fairly good graphics and visually appealing textures and environments.
Features a hybrid third person shooter and hack and slash gameplay with multiple special attacks and leveling system.
Includes a cyborg protagonist with a katana and gun, offering a sci-fi thematic setting.

Gameplay is clunky, slow, and unsatisfying due to poor controls, bad hit detection, and unpolished combat mechanics.
Lacks meaningful content such as story, clear objectives, interaction, soundtracks, and has very repetitive, boring missions.
Technical flaws including poor optimization leading to low framerates on mid-range PCs, locked resolution not supporting modern displays, and no control customization.

The game lacks a coherent story, offering only repetitive and mundane quests in a large world without meaningful narrative or interaction. Players find the gameplay unengaging, with leveling up providing little impact on the overall experience. Many lose interest quickly due to the absence of compelling storytelling.
- “There is not any sign of a story, no interaction with the objects, no inventory, no alternate weapons, no need to waste time.”
- “Storywise, there is no coherent storytelling in the game at all.”
- “You get a huge world and in that huge world you have to destroy numerous nests or hives or do some other mundane quests no one will get excited about.”

The gameplay is criticized for being unpolished, unresponsive, and unsatisfying, with mechanics feeling awkward and combat slow and uninspired. While the game may look good visually, its core gameplay lacks depth and refinement, making progression feel inconsequential to the overall experience.
- “The gameplay can be best described as the gameplay in many MMOs, meaning it takes forever to kill anything and the combat feels just as wooden.”
- “You can level up your character with XP gained from completing missions, but it doesn't improve the gameplay at all, just makes the game a little easier.”
- “It's janky and unsatisfying to play, and any experienced gamer will tell you the handling, responsiveness, and general gameplay feel of the control scheme must be well polished for this kind of game to succeed.”
- “Unfortunately, this is something the developer seems to have phoned in, with little to no apparent gameplay testing.”
- “Mechanics are very cranky.”

Grinding in the game is considered tedious and time-consuming, especially due to poor visibility in dark environments. Players often spend extended periods farming cards, which slows overall progress.
- “Add to this that you (or I at least) cannot see anything in this dark game and it gets pretty tedious.”
- “Took me about 87 minutes to get through the first 5 missions (excess time that you see is from farming cards).”
