The gameplay is characterized by its fast-paced, chaotic action that keeps players engaged and feeling empowered, enhanced by an addictive shooting mechanic and a unique bullet manipulation system. While the core twin-stick mechanics remain simple, the addition of a class system and various challenges adds depth, though some players note issues with screen clutter. Overall, the combination of fluid animations, a fitting soundtrack, and the option for cooperative play contributes to a fun and exhilarating experience.
- “Simple gameplay, chaotic action and graphics, good music, controller force feedback is insane.”
- “Bare bones top down twin stick gameplay but keeps it nice and fun with a class system, different challenges, and the very interesting concept of cutting, splitting, and reflecting bullets.”
- “The gameplay is insanely fast-paced, and surviving for more than 10 seconds takes some serious hand-eye coordination.”
- “Screen clutter is still an issue with more enemies and faster gameplay, and I'd prefer to be able to fire the manastrike manually, maybe with right-click?”
- “It would make for a little bit more stimulating gameplay.”
- “Very fast-paced gameplay.”

The story in the Ubermosh series is minimal and often serves as a backdrop for the action, focusing on themes of violence and personal growth. While some players feel the narrative is lacking, others appreciate the subtle character development and the potential for deeper lore, particularly regarding the protagonist, the Blade Saint. Many hope for future installments to expand on the storyline and introduce a more structured campaign.
- “I would personally recommend purchasing the Ubermosh collection, as the storyline of the Ubermosh series is spread among all of them.”
- “I want to know more about the Blade Saint's journey, and a timeline has already been established (with Swarmriders, then the original Ubermosh, then Black), so I'd want to see more on her story and how she's developed.”
- “Multiplayer would be a nice feature in future games, as well as maybe a campaign story later on, because the whole idea of the Blade Saint and the Desert of Ulta-Kaan is a brilliant concept.”
- “The story (not that it needs one) is a simple excuse for the action: the real world is peaceful but humans need violence and created the uber-mosh-pit so they can exercise their violent tendencies.”
- “Even though there is little to no story (which I often don't like), it's fast-paced combat combined with fitting music totally reels me in every time I play the game.”
- “Some may say that there is no story or lore, but if you listen to each menu audio, see how the character changed each volume, and try to understand how that violence affected the protagonist and her combat skills affected that universe, your mind will open to the sharp details of ubermosh.”
