“The story is truly amazing.”
“Great story, awesome mechanics, fantastic visuals and not pay to win.”
“I love this game, the graphics are fabulous and I love it, the gameplay is rich, smooth and amazing. The storyline is awesome and it really tells me more about the B2B universe. It's truly a masterpiece unlike other games where you lose interest within a couple of days; this game keeps me coming back for more and more.”
“The plot and dialogs are not that interesting, and you guys put a bible-long dialog cut-scene at the very start of the game... it killed my excitement.”
“Second, there isn't much happening story-wise, at least in the first 5 hours.”
“The lack of missions that could slowly guide you to the end or a point in the game is also something I would consider adding.”

“The gameplay is incredibly engaging, with a perfect blend of tactical challenges and thrilling action.”
“Gameplay is wicked and simple; it keeps me busy.”
“I love the interactive gameplay; I am very addicted to this game.”
“70% of the gameplay boils down to running around shooting stuff and scavenging with very little variety.”
“Gameplay is boring and long, so are the rewards; they are very weak and they also nearly never drop.”
“The game is generally just boring due to the amount of slow walking and dumb mechanics like the searching and teammates dropping the shields.”

The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim for their detailed art style, smooth performance, and impressive visual fidelity, even on lower-end devices. Players appreciate the intricate character designs and environments, which enhance the overall gameplay experience. However, some users have noted occasional lag and graininess at higher settings, suggesting a need for further optimization.
“The graphics are a true highlight, with attention to detail evident in every environment, from ancient civilizations to futuristic landscapes.”
“The graphics, the attention to details and many more make the game interesting and fun to play.”
“This game is just... wow it's insane, the graphics are 2D and the best part is you need to survive which is so cool.”
“The only things that I want to talk about are: 1) storage - it needs to have more storage to put more items in since when you are at a high level, items are going to cost much more, thus eating all of your storage slots. 2) graphics settings - there should be dedicated settings on the graphics where we can increase the frame rates and change the quality of the game, like decreasing effects, etc. There are only 3 available settings.”
“But it lags and stops working when I put it in high or very high graphics, but when it is in low graphics, it works much better.”
“Controls and graphics are subpar; missions and storylines are great.”

The monetization strategy of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the absence of forced ads and the option to watch ads for rewards, which enhances gameplay without being intrusive. While some users express frustration over occasional bugs and the grindiness of resource collection, many find the system fair and conducive to enjoying the game without feeling pressured to spend money. Overall, the game is considered free-to-play friendly, allowing players to progress without mandatory purchases or constant ad interruptions.
“They have not only a fair monetization system in place where you can enjoy the game more without grinding, but also a system for people who don't mind grinding. Unlike 99% of the games out there, it doesn't bombard you with ads unless you choose to watch them.”
“Overall, a well-rounded free game that offers freedom from in-app purchases and fun gameplay.”
“Y'know, most of the time I don't always play Android games till the end (due to heavy monetization, of course), but this one makes it easy to stick around for much longer.”
“If it wasn't so difficult and such an obviously desperate cash grab, I'd actually spend money on it.”
“The resources are very hard to find, like the thing that is needed to upgrade the base, and you have to watch ads if you want something. Can't you add like gold coins or something that is valuable?”
“My only problem is ammo is drained so extremely quickly, especially late game enemies are bullet sponges. You're pretty much forced to watch ads to stand a chance.”

The reviews indicate that the game features a significant amount of grinding, particularly as players progress to higher levels, which can lead to a tedious experience for some. While many players find the grinding manageable and rewarding, especially for resource gathering and character upgrades, others express frustration with the repetitive nature of the gameplay and the need for extensive farming to progress. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable but may not appeal to those who dislike grind-heavy mechanics.
“The gameplay with area searching and resource gathering, all while clearing out the bad guys, is the perfect blend of immersive and freeform, but also not tedious gameplay.”
“Very simple, intuitive, and not too grindy.”
“The grind is not tedious and very rewarding as you level up your team and their gear.”
“It's a good game for my transit time to and from work, but I think most will feel it's too grindy.”
“The game is very fun, but the thing is you have to get that storage upgrade. If you're not new to the game, you can just go to the area that gives you the materials and grind for 30 minutes. Once you get through that, the game becomes quite boring.”
“Horribly grindy past uncommon items. I tried giving it a chance, but they're so desperate to make you buy their overpriced items. You can't even grind for level 3 scraps, and in level 5 zones, you need level 5 items to play on safely.”

Overall, the game's stability is generally positive, with many users reporting minimal lag and glitches, particularly praising its performance on various devices. However, some players have encountered occasional bugs, such as freezing, stuttering, and issues with the inventory system, which can detract from the experience. While these problems are not widespread, they do suggest that further improvements could enhance the game's overall stability.
“Ads system is buggy.”
“Very great game I played this game for a week now, but while I was playing, some serious bugs could cause players to lose interest. One bug occurs when going inside or outside the house; the game pauses for a few seconds, then the character and allies glitch out of the map where it turns black and they cannot move. Another problem is that opening the inventory can be slow and buggy, making it laggy to interact with objects.”
“Game occasionally freezes and stutters before crashing; I would've given a better score otherwise for that small detail.”

Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the graphics and smooth character design, many report issues such as stuttering during large firefights, bugs with teammate interactions, and performance problems on certain devices. Users suggest that further optimization is needed to enhance gameplay and reduce device heating, especially given the game's potential.
“Can't wait for more updates, and maybe some optimization too; it makes my devices heat up enough for such a simple game.”
“Overall, really addictive and enjoyable, although the graphics could be optimized and improved.”
“So what I suggest is optimization and more items.”
“The option to pick scopes, the animation for pillagers and apex are the same as wilders (why scream?), when teammates stick on cars, they tend to bug. There is stuttering during larger firefights (on Galaxy Note 9), and teammates bend and aim backwards.”
“Loot of core components isn't optimized at all.”
“Can't wait for more updates, and maybe some optimization too; it makes my devices heat up enough for such a simple game.”

“Love the game and I looked at the responses for the people that rated 1 star and it was hilarious 😂😂😂😂. Edit: Looks like I have a new favorite offline game now. It's so realistic from catching fish and repairing weapons and also visible attachments. Majority of offline shooters have non-visible attachments, but the devs made a good job so far. I'm loving it, keep up the masterpiece!”
“Hello, I've been playing the B2B story since 2018 and I gotta say the story is crazy. I've known your game to be a slow process with long gameplay, and I've never expected the B2B story to go this far. It's really funny how you guys based it on the hatred of humans towards humanoids, which is like what's happening right now against the furry community.”
“Very funny game.”
