  • gameplay94 mentions

    The gameplay is a mixed bag, featuring interesting mechanics like territory capture and survival elements, but suffers from bugs, janky controls, and a lack of depth that can make it feel repetitive. While some players appreciate the thrilling atmosphere and smooth shooting mechanics, others find the overall experience underwhelming and in need of significant improvements. Despite its potential, the game currently offers a limited gameplay loop that may only provide short-term enjoyment.

    • “The gritty post-apocalyptic setting feels tangible, while the gameplay ensures every moment is a thrilling adventure.”
    • “A large open world with a dynamic change of time of day, pleasant controls, interesting mechanics with the capture of various territories, a huge number of weapons and enemies.”
    • “Graphics suck, gameplay feels janky, UI is janky, very buggy and underwhelming game.”
    • “The gameplay loop is quite empty and lacking at the moment, so it is only good for a few hours of fun, as a mindless 'survival' shooter like a round in a battle royale game.”
    • “Game needs a lot of work: bullet registration is bad, constantly attacking cannot leave the first area, enemies feel odd, some take a whole magazine while others go down with just a few bullets. The day-night cycle is backward, it's always nighttime, making it hard to see attackers most of the time.”

  • atmosphere32 mentions

    • “The atmosphere of the apocalypse is perfectly conveyed.”

    • “The atmosphere is decent, the gunplay takes some getting used to, but it is actually quite complex for such a small indie game - the recoil, reload animation and sound feels semi-realistic, and there is also bullet travel time, it is not a hit-scan shooter!”

    • “I advise you to play to feel this atmosphere!”
  • story24 mentions

    • “Decent enough game, however after some time playing it, I really didn't know what to do anymore, seeing as there is no storyline or objectives, besides taking control of certain assets.”
    • “There is zero storyline, zero quests; capturing a point has nothing to offer afterwards, there is a tree line in which you pay for benefits, but they are overpriced and useless.”

  • grinding6 mentions

    • “However, the game loop did get repetitive and grindy after a few hours in.”
    • “Having survival aspects like food and resources is good and all because it gives you a reason to continue, but it's also tedious and disrupts the flow of the game.”
    • “The game definitely provides fun for a few hours, but it feels like a lot of grinding for money. You can swap between facilities with my off-road police truck and deliver resources from point A to B to get more fuel, sell resources, and the guns I've found in air drops to earn more money. However, the game does not provide enough fun to keep playing long enough to reach the last upgrade, unless you exploit a fairly simple method.”
