    • “Game needs a lot of work: bullet registration is bad, very constant attacking cannot leave the first area, enemies feel odd, some take a whole magazine while others just a few bullets, and the day-night cycle is backward, always night time.”

  • atmosphere18 mentions

Overall, the atmosphere is described as both fascinating and addictive, drawing players into its richly crafted world.

    • “The atmosphere of the apocalypse is perfectly conveyed.”
    • “The gameplay is excellent; it reminds me of Counter-Strike in the world of Stalker. The atmosphere of the Soviet Union is perfectly conveyed in details, such as cars and buildings (some of which may be destroyed in the game process, which is good news).”
    • “The atmosphere of the game reminds me of other post-apocalyptic games.”
    • “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!”
    • “An amazingly promising game in a post-apocalyptic atmosphere.”
  • story12 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth, with many players noting the absence of a cohesive narrative or meaningful objectives.

    • “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.”

The funny voice acting and regular updates contribute to its lighthearted atmosphere, making it a fun experience reminiscent of titles like Stalker and Tarkov.

  • grinding3 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive and tedious, particularly as it disrupts the overall flow and enjoyment after a few hours.

    • “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 some 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 the airdrops 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 some fairly simple mechanics.”
