- “The visuals are very good for such a small game.”

- “There is no music and only very few sound effects: mechanical sounds from equipment and devices, weapon attack sounds, and grunts when you get hit, as well as an eerie howling wind that is almost constant.”
- “Once you have the hang of the basic gameplay elements, there's not really much else to do yet.”
- “The core gameplay works well, but more needs to be done with it.”
