The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their stunning realism and detail, often compared to high-end PC games. Players appreciate the immersive environments and smooth animations, although some have reported performance issues, particularly on lower-end devices, leading to lag and crashes. Overall, the graphics are considered a standout feature, contributing significantly to the game's appeal and gameplay experience.
“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 incredible for a mobile game.”
“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 game is very realistic and great, but you guys did a nice job. I want this game to go top high like COD, but the lag place work on it and the fact that even in low graphics the frame skip is still disturbing at times, especially when I want to kill an enemy.”
“The graphics are very unique and the feeling you get by winning is sheer struggle, but the graphics are poor and everything about this game is really frustrating. I would advise everyone not to install this app because it will ruin your happy moments.”

The game's story aspect has received mixed feedback, with players appreciating the immersive graphics and realistic mission mechanics but expressing frustration over the lack of a cohesive narrative and the repetitive nature of missions. Many users desire a more structured storyline or campaign mode, as well as improvements to mission clarity and objectives. Additionally, the penalty of losing all gear upon mission failure has been a common point of contention, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the gameplay experience.
“I love the new update.. not to mention the story plot, a true masterpiece.”
“The game is absolutely nice and fun for those that are going to be new here will enjoy killing enemies, but the problem is I'm still at level 8 and they kill me just with one bullet.”
“The game is good overall the experience the optimization to run it smoothly is good the low graphics still sharp and clean, a very good game with intense battle survival fps game, it's suggested to have penalty on covert ops who kill covert ops, because some missions don't require to kill militants it's impossible for a single player to do the mission hope this suggestion will be heard out to devs.”
“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'.”
“Game without a story suffers from lack of depth, repetitive gameplay, limited replay value, shallow world-building, missed opportunities for storytelling, and difficulty in connecting with characters.”
“Just wish it had more to it with missions that just looting and that's all you ever do, gets boring real quick without an actual military mission to do like taking out a boss or something.”

The game's optimization has received mixed feedback from users, with many reporting frequent lag spikes, frame drops, and performance issues, particularly on lower-end devices. While some players appreciate the graphics and gameplay, they express a strong desire for improved optimization to enhance the overall experience, especially during intense gameplay moments. Overall, there is a consensus that the game requires significant optimization updates to cater to a wider range of devices and improve stability.
“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's literally feels so realistic mainly among all games that I've ever played. This thing 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 fun, the gameplay loop is enjoyable, but optimization is poor; whenever it uses too much memory, it closes out automatically.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads, which is a significant advantage over other mobile games. However, concerns have been raised about the prevalence of microtransactions and the perceived cash grab nature of the game's monetization model, particularly regarding the battle pass and in-game purchases. Overall, while the lack of ads is praised, players express a desire for more balanced monetization practices and features like auto-aiming to enhance gameplay.
“It's fun, challenging, and the microtransactions are not offensive.”
“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, and I would even recommend it to all who don't.”
“Absolutely amazing! It has no ads and is basically Escape from Tarkov for mobile.”
“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.”
“Chinese tarkov clone for mobile; it's pay-to-win and absolutely riddled with microtransactions as expected of a mobile Chinese game. It's missing a lot of features Tarkov has, it's full of cheaters, and lacks quality.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to a lengthy and restrictive tutorial that hampers early gameplay.

“Great game, not grindy, and has good gameplay. It 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.”

“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.”

The grass immediately disappears, which reduces the realistic atmosphere.”
“Dev, your game lacks the war and apocalypse atmosphere.”
“Very good graphics and controls should provide a big storage and a different atmosphere for everything, but there are issues in storage and maybe a battle royale type of matches would help.”
