Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of creativity and frustration, with mechanics that initially show promise but ultimately fall short. Players appreciate the immersive graphics and sound, but criticize the clunky shooting and reloading mechanics, basic AI, and linear gameplay that can feel repetitive. Overall, while some find enjoyment in the experience, many express a desire for improvements to enhance the overall gameplay quality.
- “The creativity of the programmers in working within the confines of what was a new genre when they wrote it - they just found some mechanics that work amazingly well.”
- “The gameplay is really fun; the planes flying by are pretty cool and well detailed. I would recommend it 8-10, it could be higher when they fix the scope issue, as it does get a bit annoying.”
- “Very immersive, great graphics and sound, and I like the gameplay.”
- “The shooting mechanics are awful; you have to hold the sniper rifle more than a foot in front of your face since you can't really see clearly through the scope if you hold it too close, and there's no way to stabilize the gun, apart from putting your physical arm underneath the gun hand, which doesn't look or behave naturally in-game.”
- “Sadly it uses an extremely clunky teleportation mechanic to do this, and for the early part of it you just teleport right behind each enemy, who is always conveniently facing away from you, and shoot them point blank.”
- “The AI is very basic, the gameplay is basic and runs poorly.”
