- “The presentation is not particularly enticing and the couple of minutes of gameplay is pathetic.”

The story is described as silly and lighthearted, revolving around the humorous premise of the "llaminati" controlling the world's llamas. While it lacks depth and complexity, players find it enjoyable to follow along, especially as they engage in simple side missions that enhance gameplay.

- “I wanted to laugh and have fun with a neat little twin stick shooter that had some progression and story.”

The music in the game is generally described as decent but generic, featuring a mix of royalty-free tracks and retro-inspired sounds that fit the arcade style. While some players appreciate the 80's guitar riffs and the overall atmosphere, others find the background music forgettable and note that certain game sequences lack sound altogether. Overall, the soundtrack enhances the experience but does not stand out as particularly noteworthy.
- “The sound is very retro and very fitting with the off-the-wall arcade style, using some witty and well-delivered dialogue from the narrator/sidekick, nice bass-y and crunchy explosions all around, and with some seriously sweet 80's guitar riffing in the soundtrack paving your onslaught.”
- “Music and atmosphere are great, and it has been awesome seeing this get more and more polished over the versions!”
- “The music is pretty generic butt rock, and some parts of the game are conspicuously missing sounds, like the whole mission start sequence on the carrier.”
- “The music is decent, but as far as I'm aware, it consists entirely of downloadable royalty-free tracks.”
- “The music is decent, but nothing praise-worthy.”

The game offers strong replayability typical of roguelike/lite genres, featuring permanent upgrades, perks, and randomized stages that enhance the experience. However, while it provides addictive gameplay reminiscent of classics like *Crimsonland* and *Binding of Isaac*, its replay value may not stand out against other affordable titles in the market.
- “It's a roguelike/lite-ish game, so replayability is a given.”
- “10tons' brand of roguelite shooters, particularly the classic 'Crimsonland', come to mind as shining examples of how a tired concept like the twin-stick arcade shooter can be given new life with just a bit of that extra replayability provided by permanent upgrades, perks, and randomized stages.”
- “The addictive layer of replayability in its roguelite progression, as seen in well-known twin-sticks like 'Binding of Isaac' or 'Crimsonland', is here and better than ever due to how intense, fast, and accessible it is to hop in and slay the hordes of rebellious llamas with friends locally.”
- “10tons' brand of roguelite shooters, particularly the classic *Crimsonland*, come to mind as shining examples of how a tired concept like the twin-stick arcade shooter can be given new life with just a bit of that extra replayability provided by permanent upgrades, perks, and randomized stages.”
- “Sadly, I can't recommend it when there are a lot of great top-down shooters on the market that are playable right now.”

The game is reported to be quite buggy, with players experiencing issues such as missing content and glitches that detract from the overall experience. While some elements, like the static filter, enhance immersion, the lack of stability and functionality, particularly with the drone mechanics, leaves much to be desired.
- “It's also a pretty buggy game.”
- “7 hours in and I have already beaten the game; it was a fun ride, but I felt some things were missing. The final fight might be buggy, llamas didn't come out until halfway through, and I never saw the final llama. Where the heck is it?”
- “A cool static filter and occasional glitches improve the immersion of the video feed from the drone, but it's a shame you can't zoom in and out by causing the drone to ascend or descend; it would be great to be able to get a view of a larger area, in lieu of a map.”
