The gameplay is characterized by entertaining core combat, especially with the introduction of challenging enemies, and features a fun melee invincibility mechanic. The guns are described as chunky and satisfying, while the retro sound effects align with the game's classic shooter style, though some players feel they could be more impactful. Overall, despite its short length, the gameplay remains enjoyable, bolstered by global leaderboards and charming character designs.
- “The guns feel chunky, the characters (especially 'Hell Smasher Saki') are charming, and chaining middle-finger melees to retain invincibility is a basic mechanic that is surprisingly fun to pull off.”
- “Similar to its predecessor 'Hazama_Queen,' this game leans more towards the classic/retro shooter genre rather than the recently overused term 'boomer shooter.' The melee invincibility mechanic is incredibly fun, particularly in the longer levels beyond E1, while the four main guns effectively obliterate everything.”
- “While it is a little short, it's not a big deal with how enjoyable the gameplay is and the inclusion of global leaderboards.”
- “I know the retro sound effects are intentional art style, but as the raw shooting is more of a focus of the gameplay in this one compared to the previous title, I think the developers should've gone with weightier sound effects.”
- “There is also a quick melee attack mechanic which isn't great.”
