The music effectively pumps adrenaline and complements the action without overpowering it, while light humor adds charm. However, many users find the soundtrack repetitive and monotonous over time, suggesting a need for more varied in-game music and enhanced sound effects to improve atmosphere and gameplay immersion.
- “The music pumps adrenaline without drowning the action, and light humor (yes, the cats have personality) cuts the metallic edge of all that shooting.”
- “Sometimes when trying a new character it can be easy to forget exactly what something does lol some more music in game would be nice as well but other than that I think that it's a really solid start to this game and runs very well for early access that's only $10.”
- “Current music, dialog, and sound effects are very repetitive.”
- “The sound design is great when it comes to the atmosphere of shooting and character movement, but the music can feel monotonous after a while, just like the maps.”
- “Feels like an alpha or early beta version so far, so it needs much more VFX/SFX for hit registration and abilities, varied music during stages.”
