The gameplay offers a mix of solid shooter mechanics and unique teleportation-based movement that some players find innovative and engaging, especially when combined with slow-motion elements. However, it can feel rough around the edges with limited, repetitive level design and occasional jankiness, and the reliance on teleportation may not appeal to all, particularly those preferring free movement. Overall, while it has entertaining and original mechanics, the gameplay lacks depth and polish in certain aspects.
- “Gameplay is super fun, weapons feel powerful and the frag system whilst teleporting is something you'll grow to love.”
- “Nice and simple gameplay, with a mix of locomotion and teleport that works superbly, especially with the bullet time aspect.”
- “Really enjoyed the gameplay, as it's innovative and original.”
- “This game will be unplayable for me if I cannot use the controller to move my character in a direction and must rely on the low quality teleport mechanic.”
- “The gameplay is very simple: small and closed maps keep you busy with different objectives while you shoot and dodge in an already known and abused wave shooter formula.”
- “But it's also filled with very boring level areas and gameplay elements.”

The game's graphics are praised for their distinctive, polished cel-shaded art style that evokes comparisons to Borderlands and 80s cartoons, enhancing the arcade and VR experience.

- “Very fun arcade-y shooter game with a nice cel-shaded graphics style.”
- “The cell-shaded art style is done well and feels very polished.”
- “The graphics are not that great; the characters are a bit boxy.”

- “The frame rate is too slow and I have an MSI Gaming X GeForce 1080 graphics card and 32 gigs of RAM.”

The story in this game is generally minimal, mostly presented through text menus, with limited narrative depth and few diverse mission types. While the campaign offers action-packed missions, many players find the story short, somewhat generic, and overshadowed by repetitive escort and defend objectives that can feel grindy. Despite this, some appreciate the mission variety and voice acting, though the overall pacing and mission design leave room for improvement.
- “If you like a good action game with a great story, this one is a must buy, without hesitation!”
- “The mission selection hub gives a good idea of what's to come and where the developer wants to go.”
- “The campaign is a little generic, the story is basically in text form in menus.”
- “There's very little story and each level is just a set piece with a limited area you can traverse.”
- “Story is mostly absent and a bit short (not as short as Mortal Blitz!) but the action is worthwhile, especially at the current price tag.”

The music is widely praised for perfectly complementing the game's stylized, 80s-inspired aesthetic and fast-paced action, enhancing the overall atmosphere and flow.
- “I like the stylized graphics, reminds me of Borderlands, and the music is great.”
- “Voice acting is corny in an 80's dialogue type of way, guns sound good, and music suits.”
- “The shell shaded look, delightful corny 80s action dialogue lines, the weapons (especially the shotgun) have a great sound and blast to them, and the music really fits the quick flow of it all.”

The game currently experiences occasional bugs and freezes, particularly at level transitions, causing instability. However, users anticipate improvements as the game is still in early access.
- “I was having fun at the beginning of this FPS with some 'rail shooter' teleport system for the first few levels, but I encountered a bug where after hitting the end of a level, the game freezes.”
- “Found some glitches, but surely the developer will fix that soon.”
- “It's a little buggy and jerky at times, but as it's early access, I'm guessing that'll improve later.”

grinding

The game features a grinding system that feels unnecessary and repetitive, leading to a tedious experience after a few missions. Unlockables demand extensive replay, which can become frustrating and may discourage continued play.
- “There's a grinding system that somehow exists for no reason other than to just keep you grinding.”
- “The one black mark I'd put on this review is that the game feels somewhat grindy after a few missions.”
- “Unlockables require plenty of replay, which isn't uncommon in games, but usually it's the most tedious missions that need multiple playthroughs, and at least for me that was enough to pick something else up without looking back after a couple hours of play.”
