- “The game is just perfect like the graphics are amazing, nice gameplay, easy control and you can choose different modes to play.”

The gameplay is widely praised for its smooth mechanics, realistic graphics, and strong resemblance to CS:GO, appealing especially to FPS enthusiasts. Players appreciate the variety of weapons, maps, and mods, though some mention issues with controls, occasional lag, and limited offline multiplayer options. Overall, it offers engaging and satisfying gameplay, particularly impressive for its mobile optimization and lightweight design.
- “I just downloaded this game and it's honestly amazing for a mobile PC FPS. The gameplay is super smooth. I really recommend adding an offline multiplayer mode via LAN to play with friends without needing a constant internet connection. This would make the game perfect and really capture that classic CS vibe. Keep up the great work!”
- “I mean this game is the best in terms of gameplay that I've played, with many mods and modes on par with that. So 5 out of 5 on gameplay.”
- “This is perfect for FPS lovers who prefer realistic graphics and CS:GO-like gameplay.”
- “The animation is so good and the features too, but I only rate four stars because there are many buttons on the screen and I accidentally pressed some of them during gameplay, which ruins my gameplay.”
- “So it's been months and I have problems with players and the aiming mechanic. The players are such campers and toxic at the same time. The aiming mechanic is the worst in Dust 2 with snipers.”

- “I have been playing it for the last one month and so far it has been great. It runs smoothly on my mid-level Android phone. User base is good so it's the first time I am rating something with five stars.”
- “And no new updates were released ever since, the bugs are everywhere and the game is not optimized.”
- “Don't install this game. Just play Standoff 2 or Special Forces Group 2. This game is garbage. I regret installing this. The graphics are too bad, it's lagging even on my RedMagic 7S Pro, which has better performance. It always lags and crashes within 30-50 minutes.”
- “A lot of potential here, but it could use some optimization and maybe a better UI.”

- “No lag, no ads bro!”

The game's story aspect is criticized for lacking a dedicated story mode and limited mission variety, with users expressing a desire for more immersive and cooperative missions, additional maps, and features like LAN multiplayer. While missions are described as fun, players find the overall narrative elements insufficient and request improvements for better engagement.

- “Don't play this game. I have played this new update but it has more bugs and glitches and only one map. This game is trash. I don't want this. Even when I start TDM and mission and press add bot, the map changes to black. One map is not enough. I hope you reply.”
- “The other game modes are unplayable except TDM and missions. Fix them, add more guns, more maps, and please add LAN multiplayer. This game is such fun!”
