Gameplay is criticized for its poor controls, lack of gamepad support, and frustrating mechanics, leading to a disjointed experience that fails to align with the game's presentation. Players encounter issues such as jittery camera movements, clipping scenery, and tedious item collection, resulting in a high uninstall rate despite easily achievable early achievements. Overall, the arcade-style gameplay feels mismatched with the game's pacing and design.
- “The most commonly and easily attained achievement is for killing 10 enemies; this happens in the first 2-3 minutes of gameplay. It's trivial to achieve, but less than 5 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game.”
- “The arcade twitch gameplay did not complement the form and presentation of the game and was at odds with the pacing of the rest of the title.”
- “Review: No gamepad support, game controls horribly. You hop from spot to spot and the camera jitters wildly left and right. Scenery objects clip in and out of existence at very short draw distances. Rocks fall all around you and enemies spawn automatically. You run out of ammo fast and the item collection mechanic is tedious; I pressed a bunch of keys and it seemed random whether I would pick something up or not.”

The story conveys a powerful moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, emphasizing the importance of not giving up in the face of adversity. While the main narrative shows promise, players find themselves deeply engaged with the side quests and activities, suggesting a rich and immersive world that enhances the overall storytelling experience.
- “The moral of the story is that you never know what life has in store for you. If I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “It's pretty good so far, but I'm only 12% through the main story. I've been really immersed in all the side quests and other activities, so I'm not as far as I could be.”
