Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
It offers roguelike elements where players can unlock new units (weapon types) and items between runs, but this doesn't provide much variety in gameplay because all in-game collectable items are just pure stat bonuses.

I would love to see the developers retool this into an FPS down the line akin to Generation Zero, only better!
