The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users criticizing the visuals as unappealing and poorly executed, often likening them to being covered in a greasy film. Reviewers noted the lack of customization options, limited to basic presets that do not significantly improve the quality. In contrast, a few users mentioned that the graphics style is acceptable, but overall, the consensus is that the visuals are subpar compared to even older titles.
- “The graphics of the game are nice and the style is okay.”
- “You can choose graphics from bad to fantastic, that's it.”
- “The visuals are disgusting, with everything looking like it's covered in vaseline. I guess there's really no point in talking about that because the game probably had the budget of 2 dollars.”
- “There's no proper in-game settings, only the usual Unity options from fast to fantastic for the graphics. It's frustrating that there are no customization options besides Unity's default graphic settings.”
- “In fact, the only thing that the settings consist of is a Unity built-in graphics quality setup, which is equivalent to not having any setup at all, to be honest.”

The gameplay has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users criticizing its poor mechanics, lack of optimization, and reliance on stock assets.

- “The boss can be tough if you don’t know its mechanics, but once you figure it out, it becomes much easier.”
- “This is an extremely lazy, badly made level-based FPS game featuring a bunch of stock assets (and a few badly made ones), terrible gameplay, bad clipping... it's just trashware, and this should be no surprise as the Russian developer is a serial asset flip scammer and review manipulator, doing everything they can to scam gamers out of money with fake games and fake reviews.”
- “Gameplay was trash, optimization sucked with no story.”
- “The controls, the gameplay, the sounds, the graphics, well, basically everything is horrible in this... rectal fugitive.”

- “It's important to also note the developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”
- “Hex/laush studio has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab through this account or closely linked/alternate accounts.”
- “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
