The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim, with many players praising their stunning realism and detail, often comparing them to PC-level visuals. Users have noted that the graphics enhance the immersive experience, contributing to the game's overall appeal, although some have reported performance issues on lower-end devices. While the graphics are generally considered top-notch, there are calls for better optimization to ensure smoother gameplay across a wider range of devices.
“The game impresses with its detailed graphics and smooth shooting mechanics, offering a highly immersive experience.”
“Not to mention the graphics on this game are stunning and it's nothing like I've seen in any other mobile FPS.”
“The graphics are stunning, the sound design is immersive.”
“I deleted the game a while ago. My problem was when playing in a raid, the game just quits to the home screen and I have to log in again after they tell me to reduce graphics and other settings, but it still quits. It's annoying. Why not set the appropriate graphics for every device? If the player wants to change it, it's up to them, but for me, it's my problem. Just give the best settings for every device and it's good. After all, the game is good; consider this too.”
“I gave it 4 stars because the update really downgraded the gameplay of the game. Now the graphics aren't available on ultra HD, and you can't play max graphics with a high frame rate, so the visuals of the game suck now and are downgraded from the previous update. Update the graphics back to the way they were so the gameplay is more realistic and smoother. But other than that, the game is great and hands down the best mobile game out right now.”
“The graphics are very realistic, but the main problem is the matchmaking. I just started playing as a low level, and I'm already fighting against top players like it's too unfair.”

“The game impresses with its detailed graphics and smooth shooting mechanics, offering a highly immersive experience.”
“The fast-paced gameplay and strategic elements make for intense shootouts and team play.”
“The gameplay is super smooth, the controls aren't too overwhelming, the sounds of the area and guns seem to be pretty spot on with no audio lag.”
“I gave it 4 stars because the update really downgraded the gameplay of the game because now the graphics aren't available on ultra HD and you can't play max graphics with a high frame rate, so the visuals of the game suck now and are downgraded from the previous update. Update the graphics back to the way they were so the gameplay is more realistic and smoother.”
“The gameplay is always reconnecting and requests timeout after I shot more than once; this is not fun at all.”
“The gameplay is horrible. 30 minutes to download the game... what a deception.”

The game's story aspect is characterized by a mix of engaging missions and a realistic setting, with players expressing a desire for more depth and variety in the narrative. While many appreciate the intense action and emotional twists, there are complaints about the lack of a traditional story mode and the repetitive nature of missions, which often lead to frustration when players lose their gear upon failure. Overall, the graphics and immersive gameplay are praised, but players are calling for enhancements such as clearer mission objectives and the introduction of a dedicated campaign mode.
“I love every minute of this game from the intense action to the emotional plot twist.”
“I love the new update.. not to mention the story plot, a true masterpiece.”
“The storyline keeps getting better and the graphics was insane, it's like playing Call of Duty.”
“The start of the game was the most annoying I have ever experienced, dragging you by the hand for half an hour making you waste time and gear in a scripted mission vs AI, waste time in a tutorial that doesn't even show you the entire UI and not even giving you access to anything, not even settings and account, and customizing etc. until you finish the tedious prolonged 'tutorial'.”
“The game feels great and everything but the fact that I have to pay for more storage to hold more guns is absurd; give us missions to complete to enable us to get more storage or something.”
“This game is a masterpiece, it's like a real-life war... do a mission, you will lose everything if you fail the mission (your loot, items, etc.). I hope this game becomes more interesting in the future.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed feedback from players. While some users report smooth performance and good graphics on mid to high-end devices, many others experience significant lag, frame drops, and crashes, particularly on lower-end devices. There is a strong demand for further optimization to enhance gameplay stability and performance across a wider range of devices.
“This game is a testament to how engaging and polished mobile gaming can be, especially when optimized for android platforms. Thanks, Arena Breakout, keep cooking! 😄”
“Best game ever because of a few reasons. I've played a lot of games, but none of them was stable as Arena Breakout - it literally feels so realistic. This game is optimized so perfectly; appreciation for optimization.”
“The game is absolutely amazing, especially after the Season 2 update. The game is more optimized for my phone, allowing me to play with HD graphics and high frame rates. Also, things like server desync have been fixed. Thank you!”
“The game needs to be more optimized as I still experience lag spikes.”
“Unplayable, good game but terrible optimization; first I'll be playing smoothly with 50-60 fps and then it will drop back to 10 and maybe even 3 frames per second making it impossible to play.”
“The game is great but I prefer playing Arena Breakout Lite because it has better performance for my phone.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed feedback from users. While many appreciate the absence of intrusive ads and find the microtransactions reasonable, some criticize the monetization model as predatory, suggesting it leans towards a cash grab with excessive in-game purchases. Overall, players enjoy the game for its quality and gameplay, but express a desire for improvements in the monetization system, such as the addition of an auto-aim feature.
“It's fun, challenging, and the microtransactions are not offensive.”
“While there are minor issues like monetization, this game is an absolute blast and a top choice for mobile gamers.”
“This game is the greatest mobile FPS game, it is super realistic with healing, shooting, etc., and the microtransactions are cheap; this game is the perfect arena shooter for those who like realism.”
“But the monetization system is just too much. I know it has become the industry's norm, but it doesn't mean it is right.”
“It's a cash grab; the game is designed to make you spend cash and it will never end, and it's got a lot of bugs. One star is too generous.”
“Better than most shooter games; however, be prepared to spend a lot of money because they make the game too hard to progress without in-app purchases.”

“No glitches, no bugs and ultra realistic.”
“Great game, pretty well optimized and not buggy.”
“There are no glitches or bugs even though the graphics are good and still not lagging.”
“High player counts in an enclosed area like the TV station break the game and overload my phone with buggy audio.”
“Whenever I engage an enemy, it glitches and freezes.”
“The gameplay has improved incredibly since its release, but for the past several days, my game just freezes and kicks me out after a couple of seconds, and it just repeats no matter how good my signal is.”

The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the initial tutorial and inventory management tedious and overly complicated. While some enjoy the grind for weapons and resources, others feel that the game can become frustrating due to the potential for losing hard-earned gear to teammates or higher-level opponents. Overall, the game offers a solid gameplay experience, but the grind can be marred by cumbersome mechanics and a lack of quality-of-life features.
“Great game, not grindy and has good gameplay, should come to console.”
“So if you enjoy grinding for hours just to die to someone with way better loot because they spent real money to gain a massive advantage, then this is your game.”
“The tedious inventory system and its bugs (telling me things are full when they are clearly visibly not) just makes the actual game so much a challenge to get into it's not worth it.”
“Imagine grinding for days and weeks for your gear only to lose it because some jerk on your team decides to kamikaze and kill the entire squad with a molotov.. this happened to me twice in one week where a squad member just decided to blow me up.”

The humor in the game is often described as a mix of frustration and amusement, with players finding comedic moments in glitches, teammate mishaps, and unexpected deaths. While many enjoy the game's fun and addictive nature, they also express irritation over technical issues and gameplay mechanics that lead to humorous yet frustrating situations. Overall, the humor adds a lighthearted element to the otherwise intense gaming experience, though it can sometimes border on aggravation.
“It's so hilarious that farming money in Escape from Tarkov is way more easier than this game.”
“Its chill and funny lol”
“Fun but rage inducing; the official YouTube channel is also hilarious xd”
“It's not funny when you get killed while extracting, especially when it's a douchebag of a teammate that kills you.”
“It's great, but the fact that I lose all of my stuff whenever I die is not funny or enjoyable.”
“First off, dum dums need to be nerfed or removed. Safe as ghost grenades, these things are overpowered. Nerfing grenades did nothing. I lost so much stuff today because of slammers, and now I am broke. The chance of getting something good is so low, and it is not funny anymore. Knocked health needs to be increased, please, and maybe I'll give a good review. So fix your damn game.”

“Actually the whole thing is very good, very challenging, and tense, but sorry to say, from CBT (February 2023 start play beta) until the global release there has been no fix, the grass rendering problem when using a far scoop, the grass immediately disappears, not to hide behind grass, but reduce the realistic atmosphere.”
“Very good graphics and controls should give a big storage and atmosphere different type for everything I get it and it's good but they are a mess in storage and maybe a battle royale type of matches too.”
