The gameplay is pretty fun, I really enjoyed the right amount of difficulty with bosses and levels themselves, never really felt like it was annoying to go through.

Kyle Pittman's games, the controls are as tight as can be, the character's velocity and friction feel just right, and the general difficulty ramps up at a nice gradual pace unlike games like Shovel Knight.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Gunmetal Arcadia Zero visually goes for the classic NES style akin to The Legend of Zelda 2 and I really enjoyed the visual art style.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
22 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
Combat although incredibly basic works well and the hitboxes are for the most part pretty responsive.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
10 of 105 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects are pretty good and I really enjoyed how the game felt like it could easily be an NES rom game, Don't expect anything incredibly detailed, it's all charming sound pops, like mini explosions, just not grading to ears.
