gameplay35 positive mentions

graphics19 negative mentions

Unique WW2-themed FPS with sandbox elements combining base building, resource gathering, and vehicle crafting.
Free to play with frequent updates and active developer support in early access stage.
Destructible environment and large-scale battles create immersive and strategic gameplay experiences.

Very small and declining player base leading to empty servers and limited multiplayer interaction.
Pay-to-win elements due to DLC locked powerful classes and vehicles, causing imbalance.
Numerous technical issues including bugs, poor optimization, lag, rubberbanding, hacking problems, and unintuitive controls/UI.

gameplay
91 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
38% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 8% negative mentions
The gameplay offers engaging sandbox mechanics with building, destruction, and vehicle use that add depth and uniqueness, often compared to games like Foxhole but in first-person. While gunplay and mechanics are generally praised for being fun and solid, issues such as bugs, lag, technical problems, pay-to-win elements, unbalanced features, and a lack of polish hinder the overall experience. Despite its rough state and player base challenges, the core gameplay concept is compelling and shows significant potential if improved and balanced.
- “Engaging sandbox mechanics: the freedom to build and destroy adds depth to the gameplay.”
- “Destructible environments, vehicles, and a building system create an immersive gameplay!”
- “The game is pretty fun; it has big maps, a good amount of weapons to use (could always use more though), destructible buildings, building mechanics to make blockades and fortresses, vehicle and weapon crafting, good gun play, pretty good sound effects (could still be improved to make everything sound more real and immersive though).”
- “Mechanics are broken and this game has been in beta since 2017.”
- “This game is absolute trash yet has so much potential, with bad gameplay mechanics and pay to win aspects weighing it down, such a waste of a decent idea.”
- “Terrible netcode that makes it feel like you’re driving on ice, rampant hacking with nothing being done to prevent it, godawful game mechanic imbalances, pay2win heavy tanks, and the lowest playerbase count in any FPS shooter on Steam.”
graphics
90 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
18% positive mentions, 61% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions
The graphics are widely criticized for being outdated, poorly optimized, and lacking customization options, leading to low and inconsistent frame rates even on strong PCs. While some players appreciate the art style or find the visuals acceptable for a free-to-play game, the general consensus highlights blurry, blocky, or inconsistent graphics that detract from the gameplay experience. Improvements in graphical settings, optimization, and overall visual quality are repeatedly called for.
- “The quality/detail in general of this game by the looks is alright-ish as it could be a unique art style they're using and basically the only thing I liked about this game.”
- “Very good graphics, and easy to play.”
- “The graphics are simple but enjoyable, at night when you can see tracers, fire, smoke, and muzzle flashes it looks cool.”
- “I love this game but the graphics are terrible and I get only 20 fps with it, even less than in GTA and TF2. Programming is not good either.”
- “Graphics are really bad, very poorly optimized. I had to turn the graphics to the minimum and lower my resolution a lot.”
- “This game has horrible graphics, poor optimization, and very limited graphics settings making it run poorly even on decent hardware.”
stability
28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
4% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 96% negative mentions
The game currently suffers from numerous bugs, glitches, and stability issues, including buggy vehicle controls, camera problems, and occasional disconnects, which significantly impact the gameplay experience. While the game is fun and free-to-play, these technical problems and the presence of cheaters and lag hinder smooth play. However, ongoing updates promise future improvements and better optimization.
- “Rubbish all pay to win no fun no servers (except one with like 2 people) graphics are rubbish glitches bugs awful don't play this”
- “There are a lot of issues, one of the most prominent is the vehicle control, driving a vehicle feels very buggy and laggy.”
- “Cute game but incredibly buggy, kept spawning under stairs I couldn't get out of and had to keep respawning.”
optimization
21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
14% positive mentions, 53% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions
The game's optimization is generally poor, with many players experiencing bugs, performance issues, and limited graphics settings that hinder smooth gameplay, especially on lower-end systems. However, recent updates have somewhat improved performance, though further optimization and more configurable options are still needed to enhance the overall experience.
- “The optimization is ok and the game itself is pretty cool.”
- “A few bugs here and there (what game doesn't have bugs) but the game runs smoothly and it's a hell of a good time to bring a few buddies into and play together.”
- “Performance seems to have sorted itself out in recent updates; good news!”
- “This a very fun basic game, but it is so poorly optimized that I am surprised I can't run it on integrated graphics.”
- “- Poor optimization, but option menu gives you only three graphics settings (low, medium & high) that just change the vegetation as far as I can tell.”
- “Optimization, really would love to see improvement in this area, I get around 30fps, which considering the graphics and everything involved I think could be better.”
grinding
17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
6% positive mentions, 12% neutral mentions, 82% negative mentions
Grinding in this game is widely seen as tedious and overly time-consuming, primarily focused on gathering resources for crafting vehicles and weapons. While some appreciate the gunplay and mechanics, the extended resource farming and slow progression often lead to frustration, especially with the added issue of long travel times and lack of teamwork. Players suggest the need for faster, more engaging resource gathering and better anti-cheat measures to improve the overall experience.
- “I love the fact it is not grindy like Hero's and Generals, although the persistence of Hero's is fantastic.”
- “It's pretty bland, with emphasis on grinding loot/map-spawning resources in order to produce vehicles (more grinding required to keep them supplied).”
- “The concept of having to craft weapons is interesting for a few hours, but then you realize you are grinding.”
- “It takes an average of 15-20 minutes of grinding for resources rather than playing the gun game.”
monetization
12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
25% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 58% negative mentions
The game's monetization is widely criticized as a cash grab heavily reliant on microtransactions and perceived pay-to-win mechanics, which frustrates players and diminishes enjoyment. Many feel the lack of meaningful advertising, ongoing bugs, and aggressive monetization prevent the game from reaching its potential. Overall, users urge removal of microtransactions and better support to improve the experience.
- “Soldner Secret Wars Community Edition, which plays just like the Battlefield series games, is a completely free game with no microtransactions or DLC!”
- “Not bad, just remove microtransactions.”
- “A hidden gem; if you remove microtransactions, add an anti-cheat, and improve the graphics, it would easily be an 8/10, but currently a 6/10.”
- “Now the game is dead, goodbye the starter packs and stuff like that, this game was a pure cash grab and the devs should be ashamed of publishing such a fraud of a game.”
- “Battleblaze will not let new players use vehicles, and I don't know if it is an ability that needs to be unlocked through gameplay, or paid for with microtransactions!”
- “Don't pay for any of this crap. The game was broken for a long time and used the funds to create a new game they can exploit for microtransactions. I bet it sold a bunch of DLC during this winter sale and sorry to anyone who can't get a refund.”
story
9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions
The game features a very basic and minimal story, primarily centered around the objective to destroy the enemy base. While there are various characters to choose from, some are locked behind DLC or inaccessible in certain modes, with no in-game narrative or quests provided to unlock them. Overall, the story aspect is minimal and lacks depth.
- “Certain characters in the game that you can choose to be are nice, but some are unreachable in certain game modes or if you have to buy a character or DLC. It would be better to have an option to unlock these characters by completing quests or missions or by storing XP.”
- “Certain characters in the game that you can choose to be are nice, but some are unreachable in certain game modes or if you have to buy a character or DLC. It would be better to have an option to unlock these characters by completing quests or missions or by storing XP.”
- “The mission is to destroy the enemy base.”
- “No story.”
- “Concept is pretty basic though, go and destroy the enemy base.”
- “Certain characters in the game that you can choose to be are nice but some are unreachable in certain game modes; also unreachable if you have to buy a character or DLC, which is fine to an extent but there should be an option to get certain characters by doing some quests or missions or the ability to store XP and unlock them.”
humor
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
The humor in the game is largely derived from its glitches and absurd moments, such as ineffective hits, unexpected headshots, and exaggerated damage effects. While these bugs create unintended comedic situations that can be especially amusing with friends, lag issues sometimes hinder the experience. Overall, the game's broken mechanics contribute to a quirky, if occasionally frustrating, sense of humor.
- “Very funny with friends.”
- “Despite that, it's funny when you hit an enemy for 150 damage and they're still running, or sometimes you can shoot far away from an enemy and get a headshot.”
- “It's kinda funny when such guys are taking 200 damage in just 2 seconds.”
music
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
Users find the music excessively loud and suggest it should be separated from other sound effects for better balance and less annoyance.
- “The developers need to separate music from other sound effects because it gets annoyingly loud.”
emotional

100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
Users feel the game currently lacks emotional depth, and while developers acknowledge this issue and plan to address it, their focus on releasing new DLC has delayed meaningful improvements.
