The introduction of new classes and enemies, particularly the Psyker class and swarm enemies, adds depth and variety to the gameplay.
The game maintains a high level of challenge while being accessible for newcomers, making it a great entry point into the UBERMOSH series.

The lack of cover and the open arena can make the game feel too easy for some, reducing the challenge that was present in earlier titles.
