Despite some criticism regarding detail and frame artifacts, many highlight the charm of the 2D art and its contribution to the overall experience.

  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been widely criticized for being horrendous and buggy, with unresponsive controls and problematic auto-grapple mechanics that can leave players stuck in combat. Additionally, controller support is inconsistent, failing to function properly in menus while being somewhat adequate during gameplay. Overall, many players found the mechanics frustrating and reminiscent of other titles, but poorly executed.

    • “Controller support is shoddy - it doesn't work at all for the menus but is okay for gameplay.”
    • “The premise is the same, the style and design all seem to mirror similar titles, but the game mechanics are just off.”
    • “The gameplay is absolutely horrendous and buggy as hell.”
    • “The auto-grapple mechanics make it so that if you touch an enemy, you are stuck with him until he dies or you get hit, which is most of the time.”
    • “I know that the time on record reflects a very short period of time with the gameplay, but given the mechanics and what I did endure, I honestly couldn't tolerate any more.”
  • humor
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as hit or miss, often leaning towards generic themes like anti-corporate satire, which some players find unoriginal. While it features moments of anarchic and rebellious wit, the execution suffers from poor translation and grammatical errors, detracting from its overall effectiveness. Despite these flaws, some players appreciate the humor as part of the game's charm.

    • “Plenty of action, a very funny brand of humor, and a gorgeous 2D art style.”
    • “The humor can be hit and miss, but it's part of the charm.”
    • “Sure, it's funny - sort of, if you're into anarchic, rebellious humor.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been widely criticized as bland and repetitive, with many reviewers suggesting it is best to mute it and play their own music instead. The lack of voice acting further detracts from the overall audio experience, leaving players unimpressed with the soundtrack.
