The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, featuring realistic gun mechanics and a variety of challenges that can enhance players' shooting skills, but it suffers from a steep learning curve and some frustrating mechanics, such as an odd sway system and a grindy progression model. While the shooting mechanics are generally satisfying and the action is intense, the game falls short in comparison to genre leaders due to its lack of depth in narrative and character development. Overall, players find the gameplay enjoyable but acknowledge the need for improvements in mechanics and clarity in progression systems.
- “The gameplay is fun; it's very satisfying to move around a course quickly and take out targets.”
- “Players can engage in different challenges, improving their skills while experiencing both casual and competitive gameplay.”
- “The reloading mechanics add an extra layer of strategy to your run; reloading at specific times can make or break your leaderboard placement.”
- “The reloading mechanics simply defeat all the realism vibes.”
- “There is a sway mechanic that will completely throw off your aim even if you are perfectly aligned in your sight picture.”
- “The gameplay early on feels more like stumbling over the controls, even with customizable keybinds and a multi-button mouse.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the visual appeal and smooth performance on high-end systems, while others criticize the outdated graphics and animations reminiscent of a decade ago. Many users note that the visuals, although decent for a free indie game, fall short of modern standards and can feel simplistic or laggy, especially on less powerful machines. Overall, while the graphics are not the game's strongest aspect, they are considered acceptable given the game's free-to-play nature.
- “The graphics in this game are really quite good, which at least makes the game look more appealing.”
- “I run a pretty fast machine with a high-end graphics card, and I'm able to run this at 4K with butter smoothness.”
- “Graphics and animations are still pretty decent considering the game costs no money.”
- “The graphics are poor; cast your mind back to about 2005.”
- “It's got severely outdated graphics.”
- “Graphically dated, not expecting UE5 realism quality but it feels like it can be way better; animations are robotic too.”

The reviews indicate that the game features significant grinding, often described as tedious and unrealistic, particularly in the context of unlocking weapons and progressing through tiers. While some players find the grind manageable or even enjoyable when engaging with the game's mechanics, many express frustration over the repetitive nature of the tasks required to advance, with concerns about the potential for pay-to-win elements exacerbating the grind. Overall, the grinding aspect is a polarizing feature, with opinions varying on its impact on the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “It can be a bit grindy sometimes.”
- “This is just grinding the game; the fun wears off incredibly quickly and just becomes doing the same thing over and over just to unlock things, but not even in an enjoyable way.”
- “Extremely grindy game; the currencies are exclusive to a specific weapon type (handgun/shotgun/bolt action, for example) and all guns have 4 tiers. It takes around 30 minutes to buy just a mid-range T1 pistol (and you have to begin with a crappy Makarov), not to mention their accessories and upgrades.”
- “The game is massively grindy, presumably to sell microtransactions.”

The monetization in the game has been widely criticized as overly aggressive, with many players feeling it prioritizes profit over gameplay quality. Microtransactions are prevalent, often making progression feel grindy and necessitating purchases to advance, which detracts from the overall experience. While some users appreciate the game itself, the heavy reliance on microtransactions and the cash shop has led to a perception of it being a cash grab.
- “So far no microtransactions, I did buy the membership to support the game.”
- “Finally a game about IPSC, but sadly it was published by the same company as World of Guns. Yes, there are microtransactions, but hopefully they don't add more useless DLC like WOG had.”
- “The game is massively grindy, presumably to sell microtransactions.”
- “And that's before the toxic cash shop... it's obvious the developers set out to monetize and cash grab as the top priority, and actually making a game was not at all, because they abandoned it.”
- “Honestly seems like a cash grab to me.”
- “Another would be a great game by this company, completely ruined by microtransactions.”

Many highlight the main theme's upbeat vibe, reminiscent of early 2000s techno, but some find it overwhelming or unappealing, leading to a desire to mute it. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a significant aspect that enhances the gameplay experience for some, while detracting for others.

- “And the sickest soundtrack I've heard in a long while!”
- “It is surprisingly enthralling to improve your score over and over again, especially with the soundtrack.”
- “The guns feel low quality and oversized; the muzzle flash looks terrible, the music sucks, and the reload system is completely and utterly defeated by spamming R. 0/10, not fun or cool.”
- “Music feels reminiscent of something from early 2000s techno music.”
- “Music bad, thank god I can mute it.”

Overall, the game's stability is generally good, with most users reporting a smooth experience and minimal bugs.

- “It's fairly bug-free (aside from 3 crashes to desktop in about 10 hours).”
- “The only bug I've seen is the mixed shotgun/AR/pistol course in the showroom glitches out and selects an AR when you're supposed to switch to shotgun, which can just randomly ruin your run up to that point because you're shooting one bullet instead of getting a ton of points for each shell.”
- “It still might need some polishing here and there; it glitches on me especially on interfaces and bolt action rifles.”
