The gameplay is a captivating blend of chaos and control, featuring intense action, smooth mechanics, and a variety of unique characters that enhance the experience.

- “The core gameplay loop of blasting enemies and growing your villainous powerset is engaging, and the fresh perspective of playing as the bad guy keeps things interesting.”

The game offers a unique perspective by allowing players to embody the villain, featuring engaging meta progression and customizable skills. However, the storytelling is marred by numerous typos and grammatical issues, which detract from the overall coherence and quality of the narrative.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, primarily due to the limited map and enemy diversity, which persists despite recent updates. While some appreciate the variety of builds available, many express frustration over the slow progression, with significant time investment required to advance.
- “The progression is grindy and repetitive; there's only one map and very little enemy diversity (even after a patch attempting to address this). I really hope it grows into what it could be, but 20 hours in and not even halfway through the meta progression, all while playing the same map and listening to the same song, just isn't enjoyable.”
- “The grinding aspect is quite tedious, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
- “While the game has potential, the excessive grinding required to progress feels more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
