The gameplay is characterized by a mix of simple mechanics that can feel janky and disconnected, particularly in the kart racing sections, which lack variety in attack options and suffer from limited track design. While some players appreciate the smooth handling and the blend of racing and shooting elements, others find the experience shallow due to the small number of tracks and frustrating gameplay hiccups. Overall, the game offers a challenging experience with potential for fun, but it is hindered by its execution and lack of polish.
- “And the handling, by far my favorite mechanic of the game.”
- “Gameplay feels smooth, menu navigation also feels great.”
- “[excellent blend of drift-based racing and shooting via platformer segments, gameplay is actually rather challenging, lots of unlockables to discover]”
- “The mechanics all work, but they're all a little janky in ways that end up feeling disconnected and flat.”
- “Car sections have no other attack option, either (no weapon drops or the like), so it's just the numb-feeling shunting and pretty basic kart racer drift mechanics and boosting.”
- “All this in a kart racer with only eight tracks with limited polish in the layout (enough odd corners and edges that you can catch on and stop you cold, keeping you from getting into the 'flow' of a race), and it ends up feeling shallow and slim, despite the production value and mechanical promise.”
