The gameplay of this title is characterized by fast-paced, fluid mechanics that blend shooting, movement, and environmental destruction, creating an engaging and addictive experience. Players appreciate the unique stagger mechanic that ties health recovery to using the destructible environment, although some find the difficulty scaling and boss mechanics frustrating. Overall, the game offers a satisfying roguelike loop with diverse builds and a visually appealing aesthetic, making it a standout in the genre despite some areas needing refinement.
- “The gameplay loop is overwhelmingly satisfying, the gunplay is fluid, my shots feel like they have weight, and the variety in builds from run to run is outstanding.”
- “The movement and shooting feels great, and destructible environments are both wonderful and a major mechanic in gameplay.”
- “The destruction mechanics feel incredibly satisfying and the movement system is absolutely fluid.”
- “My only complaint at the moment is the healing mechanic, which becomes less effective in higher difficulties, such as when playing on insanity.”
- “The gameplay loop is just tedious and not fun at all.”
- “Weapons feel lackluster and non-impactful; the game relies heavily on a combo mechanic of staggering enemies to do full damage but makes enemies more and more resistant to stagger until the mechanic is a moot point, which happens very quickly.”

- “The only downside I feel exists currently is that it's pretty short, and I managed to beat the story with basically no permanent upgrades.”

Overall, the grinding is seen as a significant hurdle that can make the game feel less rewarding, especially in the early stages.

- “The game isn't hard, let me be clear, it's just tedious until you get a fun build and then you have fun for 15 minutes until you die in 1 hit.”
- “But everything else is slow and grindy; the meta progression is painfully slow with tiny increments that don't feel like they're doing anything, but the biggest thing is 95% of your runs are going to be a waste of time because you pull the same worthless pieces over and over.”
- “The gameplay loop is just tedious and not fun at all.”

Overall, the game boasts impressive replayability, largely due to its roguelite mechanics, build diversity, and procedural generation, which encourage players to experiment with different strategies and difficulty levels. While some reviewers note the current content is limited, they still find the gameplay engaging and addictive, suggesting that replayability remains strong despite the game's early access status. However, concerns about difficulty balance and randomness affecting gameplay experience could impact long-term replayability if not addressed.
- “A solid experience so far, extremely replayable, with an immersive style and story to go with it.”
- “There are only three zones so far, but they're procedurally generated and you can crank up the difficulty after finishing zone 3 on your highest current difficulty, so there's still replayability after beating zone 3 for the first time.”
- “Beat the game in 6.5 hours, but going to sink many more into it since the replayability is massive.”
- “But if nothing changes in terms of difficulty balance, this game will lose much of its replayability.”
- “Definitely a great roguelike, it is pretty short at the moment and not much in the way of replayability, but it is a solo developer so I will give them time to work it out.”
- “Now, it's replayable, given the very rogue-lite nature, but be warned that skill does trump build here.”

- “Also runs great even in huge messes, with a lot of debris and enemies.”

- “Fundamentally fun as hell, but also catastrophically buggy.”

The humor in the game is widely praised for its absurdity and creativity, with players enjoying the hilarious effects of corrupted mods and the chaotic gameplay that leads to comical situations, such as exaggerated recoil and over-the-top weapon behaviors.

- “I can mod a weapon to nuke an enemy with a funny soap bubble because I activated a run fast ability while having a grenade in my inventory, and then I crashed the building on top of the enemy and grappled away.”
monetization

The monetization aspect of the game has drawn criticism for its reliance on ads and microtransactions, which many players feel detracts from the overall experience. Users express frustration over the impracticality of ads in gameplay, suggesting that they offer minimal benefits and often hinder performance, particularly in fast-paced scenarios. Additionally, there are calls for improvements in game mechanics related to ads, such as toggling options and better integration with movement controls. **Tip Box:** - **Ads (Aim Down Sights):** A gameplay mechanic that allows players to aim more accurately by looking down the sights of their weapon, but can limit mobility. - **Microtransactions:** Small purchases made within a game, often for cosmetic items or gameplay advantages, which can lead to a "pay-to-win" environment. - **Toggle:** An option that allows players to enable or disable a feature, such as ads, at will.
- “Legitimately, screw Destiny, Warframe, The Finals, and all those other time sinks stuffed with microtransactions.”
- “Ads have no meaningful benefit as far as I can tell.”
- “It may increase accuracy, but you need to be moving around so much that ads are just a liability.”
