    • “The handling is tight, the jump/boost mechanic works awesome, and the targeting is perfect, just enough assist without taking away the feeling of aiming yourself.”
    • “Can't recommend it, the servers are empty, the mechanics, game modes, physics, and visuals are awful.”
    • “You need to have customization in a game like this or else gameplay might get dull and leave no room to keep playing it.”

  • story
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is limited to the tutorial, which serves as the sole narrative experience, featuring engaging characters and a fun, 80's cartoon-inspired backdrop. While the tutorial effectively introduces the game's world and character development, players express disappointment over the lack of a full campaign, feeling that the potential for a deeper story is largely untapped.

    • “The story and voice acting are great.”

    • “There is no campaign beyond the tutorial and there is oh so much that could be done with the storyline, world, and gameplay features.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
