The story has been widely criticized for its poor writing, awkward delivery, and lack of depth, often described as a basic plot focused solely on killing Nazis with little narrative substance. Many reviewers noted the clumsy voice acting and bizarre character actions, which detracted from the overall experience, although some found humor in its absurdity. While the game is not story-driven, it may still appeal to those seeking a simple shooter experience rather than a compelling narrative.
- “The story and voice acting are worth experiencing.”
- “I mostly had a really fun time with this and I enjoyed the very goofy, but earnestly delivered story.”
- “If you're looking for triple-A experiences, this probably isn't the game for you - but if you're looking for a solid little shooter with a decent little story and a damn good selection of weapons and variety of gameplay, then this is the choice for you.”
- “The story is incredibly bad and jumps around all over. To make matters worse, it is clumsily delivered through one of the worst English dubs I have ever experienced. Every character acts like they either forgot their lines mid-rehearsal or were completely drunk. Main characters fall over dead mid-mission for no reason, then randomly come back because they were actually 'captured'. There's an awkward plot about romance that shoehorns itself in so painfully you'd think it was a fistula.”
- “The worst thing about Ubersoldier is the story - it's terribly written and acted, but a positive side-effect of this is it makes some of the cutscenes enjoyable purely for comedy value.”
- “The story was written by a drunken 13-year-old, and the voice acting is like robots trying to learn how to talk like humans, saying every sentence in the most awkward way possible.”

The gameplay of Ubersoldier I is characterized by a mix of nostalgia and frustration, with many players noting its janky mechanics, inconsistent aiming, and a lack of polish that detracts from the overall experience. While some appreciate the challenge of using health packs and the unique bullet shield mechanic, others criticize the repetitive nature and poor enemy AI. Overall, it offers a solid, albeit flawed, shooting experience that may appeal to fans of the genre but falls short of modern standards.
- “What’s interesting about this game, however, is its abilities and gameplay mechanics.”
- “I'm happy that the developers really cared about the game and made improvements in gameplay, story, and cutscenes for Ubersoldier 2.”
- “All that said, the gameplay is solid at its core, and I've been coming back to it for... at this point, 18 years!”
- “The gameplay is ridiculously substandard and everything is barely holding together at the seams; aiming is janky and precision weapons are just not viable. Automatic weapons miss their targets consistently, melee combat can be generously described as two helium balloons softly crashing into each other, and explosives either destroy the universe or gently tickle everyone in a 5cm radius.”
- “Overall, the gameplay isn’t terrible, but the enemy AI is absurdly accurate.”
- “It's not really a hidden gem - it's a janky single-player WWII shooter with the twist, 'you have a bullet shield.' The sequel has been available for years, but I think it was a step back in gameplay from this one.”

The graphics of the game are generally considered acceptable for its time, with some reviewers noting that they were pleasing upon release but have since aged poorly. While some players find the graphics simple yet sufficient, others criticize them as ugly and lacking in modern standards. Overall, the visuals are seen as decent for a 2006 title, complementing the gameplay despite some technical issues.
- “Graphics were quite good for the time, as well as the bullet shield ability that takes inspiration from The Matrix.”
- “Very nice single-player WWII FPS game, in the style of older WWII FPS games like RTCW, etc. The graphics are good - not Call of Duty good, but well suited to the game.”
- “Once upon a time, after its premiere, it was still pleasing to the eye with its graphics; today, not so much, but it has not lost its playability.”
- “Guns feel horrible, enemies are spongy, graphics are ugly; basically a bad game all around, play at your own risk.”
- “Graphics are somewhat decent for 2006.”
