The gameplay is a mixed bag, with enjoyable mechanics and smooth handling, but marred by janky execution and a lack of depth. While the racing and combat arenas introduce interesting elements, they often feel disconnected and can lead to frustrating experiences, especially in higher difficulty modes. Overall, the limited track variety and inconsistent design detract from the potential fun, leaving players wanting more polish and engaging content.
- “I like the gameplay and mechanics, but expert and prime mode can be quite rage-inducing if you make any mistakes.”
- “The handling is by far my favorite mechanic of the game.”
- “Gameplay feels smooth, and menu navigation also feels great.”
- “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.”

- “Pretty maps and good music; playing as a really fast character has a nice flow between combat and racing segments.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent glitches that affect character movement and gameplay mechanics, such as unexpected character slowdowns and instances of being defeated despite having full defenses. These problems detract from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to fully enjoy the game.
- “I wanted to give this game a chance, but it's so riddled with glitches, like your character randomly slowing down, glitching through objects, and being one-shot despite having a full shield and energy. I really wanted to give this game a chance, unlike those giving it unnecessary hate.”
