The game's story aspect is criticized for its lack of engaging narrative and mission structure, with players expressing a desire for more story-driven content. The missions feel repetitive and unchallenging, leading to frustration rather than immersion. Overall, the absence of a compelling storyline detracts from the gameplay experience, leaving players wanting more depth and variety in missions.
“XP is only awarded after finishing a mission, which can take you 10-15 minutes wandering around sparse maps being constantly pestered by enemies that never really feel like a threat.”
“Also, the missions are just awful along with AI respawning on top of an area you just cleared, so you get shot in the back constantly.”
“Would be much better if story missions would be added.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some users criticizing them as reminiscent of PlayStation 1 quality, describing them as janky and lacking detail. Others find the visuals decent, noting accurate weapon models but pointing out stiff animations and unrealistic object destruction. Overall, while some appreciate the graphics as a reasonable aspect of the game, many feel they fall short of modern standards.
“What I really like about this game is the graphics quality.”
“The graphics are decent enough, but the animations are very stiff and unnatural.”
“Reasonably priced, good time killer with random missions, decent visuals and accurate weapon models.”
“This game has basically PlayStation 1 graphics, and the AI is awful.”
“Super janky, gameplay is crap, graphics are crap, AI is crap... there is seriously nothing redeeming about this game.”
“The graphics are decent enough but the animations are very stiff and unnatural, and the destroyed state of objects looks like a light coating of rust applied to an otherwise unscathed model.”

The gameplay has been criticized for its janky mechanics, poor AI, and lackluster gunplay, leading to a repetitive experience that feels more like a prototype than a polished release. While there is potential in the game's concept, the execution currently falls short, with drawn-out progression and minimal variety in gameplay.
“Super janky, gameplay is terrible, graphics are poor, and the AI is awful... there is seriously nothing redeeming about this game.”
“Horrible AI, bad gun mechanics, and needlessly drawn-out progression.”
“There's potential in the concept, and the execution is better than many on Steam, but currently (Nov 3, 2021) this feels much more like a prototype for workshop mechanics than a public release worth asking money for.”
