The gameplay is currently limited and lacks depth, featuring only four maps with minimal enemy waves, resulting in about 10 to 15 minutes of playtime per map and a total of around an hour of content. Players find the experience lacking in replay value and overall detail, especially when compared to established titles.
- “The game itself is listed as early access and under Budgie Games, which is close to Bungie's spelling, but the game was far from the level of detail or play mechanics that Bungie would ever put out.”
- “This game right now lacks any depth as it only offers 4 maps a month after it has launched in early access. Four maps might be fine if each map offered more than 3 waves of enemies, but nope, you get about 10 to 15 minutes of gameplay on each map or maybe an hour's worth of total content with near no replay value.”
