The gameplay is generally smooth and well-executed, featuring a high level of customization and dynamic upgrades that can significantly alter the experience. However, it lacks originality within the survivors-like genre and does not introduce new mechanics, leading to a familiar formula. While visually appealing and engaging, some reviewers feel that the gameplay could benefit from more thoughtful design.
- “I love how new upgrades will often change the gameplay dynamic drastically.”
- “Gameplay feels really smooth and the amount of customization is astonishing.”
- “The gameplay doesn’t change the formula.”
- “I can see plenty of effort was spent studying Jan Willem Nijman's indie talk on 'the art of screenshake', plenty of juice in animating the UI, the way the guns animate and how enemies react to projectiles, just a shame no thought was put into the gameplay.”
- “The gameplay is both exhilarating and unforgiving.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including a buggy user interface that often becomes unresponsive, requiring a reboot to regain functionality. Additionally, the poorly balanced level-up rewards contribute to an overall sub-par experience in the bullet heaven genre.
- “A buggy and messy UI (console-esque menus would just stop responding to button prompts until rebooted) combined with poorly balanced level-up rewards (would you prefer +10% projectile speed or +40% projectile damage?) makes for a sub-par entry in the bullet heaven genre.”
- “The game frequently crashes, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing hours of gameplay.”
- “I encountered numerous glitches that disrupted my experience, including characters getting stuck and missions failing to trigger.”
