The gameplay is characterized by a mix of common and unique mechanics, offering fast-paced, fluid movement and satisfying gunplay that encourages speedrunning and improvement. While some mechanics, like requiring specific jumps to damage enemies, can feel gimmicky, the overall experience is engaging and addictive, with a solid core gameplay loop. However, the repetitive nature of levels and certain clunky mechanics detract from the experience for some players, leading to mixed feelings about the game's design and pacing.
- “The movement is fluid, the gameplay is varied enough to be interesting while simple enough to be accessible.”
- “The core gameplay loop is satisfying, the movement is smooth and addicting, and the animations are so meaty you just can't help but feel the adrenaline pumping when going through some of the levels.”
- “An excellent and unique skill-based speedrun first-person shooter with fast-paced, parkour-esque movement mechanics.”
- “Repetitive levels and a limited arsenal force players to rely on slow-motion mechanics to achieve the highest difficulty rating.”
- “The jumping and rolling mechanics feel clunky and unsatisfying.”
- “The graphics and mechanics are sweet but the way the game requires you to use them is not conducive to a fun speedrunner experience.”

The game's music is generally praised for its high-energy, metal soundtrack that complements the action-heavy gameplay, creating an engaging atmosphere. However, many players find the limited variety of tracks leads to repetitiveness, especially as the same song plays across numerous levels. While some enjoy the soundtrack enough to keep it on, others prefer to switch to their own playlists to avoid monotony.
- “Bloody sick soundtrack that I still enjoy after so long.”
- “Cool music and lots of content to uncover too!”
- “Great soundtrack, fluid gameplay, insanely challenging and fun.”
- “The soundtrack isn't super long, so you will hear the same parts of it quite often, but it is good and gives a very action-heavy, doom-like vibe.”
- “My only gripe is that every level (as far as I can tell) has the exact same music track playing.”
- “One thing also worth mentioning is that the game doesn't have a whole lot of soundtracks, so hopefully you like what you get to hear on the game default or have an external soundtrack list to listen to while playing this game.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their quality and modern appeal, offering a visually appealing experience that enhances gameplay. However, some users note that the visuals can feel repetitive and reminiscent of older games, while others criticize the edgy aesthetic as overdone. Overall, the game combines charming old-school elements with impressive graphics, contributing to an engaging experience despite some aesthetic critiques.
- “It is an old-school arena shooter that combines the charm of the genre's pioneers with fresh ideas and modern graphics.”
- “Lots of content, consistent gameplay, awesome visuals.”
- “The visuals are fantastic, with lots of options in the menu to disable/enable stuff for better visibility.”
- “Repetitive visuals.”
- “It feels like something I would have played a long time ago, like a Shockwave 3D flash game, but with better graphics than what that engine could handle.”
- “The graphics and mechanics are sweet, but the way the game requires you to use them is not conducive to a fun speedrunner experience.”

The game lacks a traditional narrative, focusing instead on fast-paced gameplay reminiscent of titles like Neon White, but with a different aesthetic. While it offers various bonus levels and challenges, there is no significant story element to engage players.
- “Along with the story, there are various bonus levels and challenges, as well as a workshop where you can make your own level.”
- “It shares a lot of similarities with Neon White but without any story.”
- “☑ no story”
- “If you are into first-person shooters that focus on speed-running like Neon White (minus story and aesthetic is switched to Doom), Warstride Challenges is a decent game to buy and play.”

The optimization aspect of the game is praised for striking a balance between challenge and accessibility, allowing players to feel accomplished with their performance while still being achievable for average players. However, some stages are criticized for being too short, making optimization feel tedious, and there are occasional performance issues noted, particularly on lower-end hardware.
- “The level of perfection for the highest medal is right in the sweet spot; you really feel like you've put up an amazing performance every time you get another platinum medal, but it's still always achievable for the average person familiar with movement shooters.”
- “World leaderboards should show your performance in percentile.”
- “Other stages are 3 seconds, too short to feel like optimizing time is worth it, or at least feel much more tedious for really small optimizations.”
- “Some performance issues here and there, but I'm not using the highest-end PC out there (GTX 960 for anyone wondering, probably no one).”
- “It's not the complexity that makes the challenge, it's the optimization.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some stages are too brief to justify extensive optimization efforts, the game's fast-paced shooting mechanics encourage dedicated players to grind through levels until they master them.

- “Other stages are 3 seconds long, which is too short to feel like optimizing time is worth it, making the process feel much more tedious for really small optimizations.”
