    The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun, engaging mechanics and smooth controls, making it enjoyable for both casual and competitive players. However, many users express frustration with the pay-to-win elements, unbalanced matchmaking, and the prevalence of bots, which can detract from the overall experience. While the core gameplay is often described as addictive and innovative, issues like lag, connection problems, and the need for better character balancing are frequently highlighted as areas for improvement.

    • β€œThe gameplay is great, with easy to understand and use mechanics, but fun to master.”
    • β€œAbsolutely love the game, it has great mechanics and is what I think to be the best shooter on mobile.”
    • β€œThe gameplay is fun, challenging, dynamic, and really benefits from teamwork.”
    • β€œWorst game I got addicted to, wasted a lot of my time just to get broken heroes, bad connection, crazy accurate and high damage bots that always know where you are, pay-to-win and unreasonable prices for terrible rewards, a lot of luck-based gameplay... the game wants players to grind their life away for barely any rewards just to get broken by some hero.”
    • β€œGameplay lagging, have been booted out of round(s) mid-session; mad glitchy, avatars sometimes seem to skate across the board, no controls, then defeat.”
    • β€œThe gameplay is frustrating because I either move in random directions and get shot; or I play as carefully as possible, only to get killed immediately - and nearly always by a hero you can't (or is near impossible to) get free, and often a lower level than me too.”
  • monetization784 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of forced ads and the option to watch ads for rewards. However, there is significant criticism regarding the high prices of in-app purchases and the perception of a "pay-to-win" model, which some players feel undermines the overall experience. While some users find the monetization fair and unobtrusive, others describe it as aggressive and predatory, leading to frustration over the balance between free play and the need to spend money to progress effectively.

    • β€œMicrotransactions are optional which is nice.”
    • β€œNo ads, pure quality.”
    • β€œThe game does have built-in monetization but it in no way forces it upon you.”
    • β€œHowever, all this game tries to do is relentlessly shove in-app purchases down your throat.”
    • β€œMicrotransactions are way too overpriced; matchmaking is so ridiculous for basing it on your trophy count instead of your hero power; level up rewards are repetitive, bland, and don't feel rewarding at all.”
    • β€œThe game is a decent shooter game, but their in-game purchases are ridiculous for what they offer you!”
  • graphics607 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their vibrant and appealing art style, with many users noting that they enhance the overall gameplay experience. While some players appreciate the clean and simple design, others have pointed out inconsistencies and areas for improvement, particularly regarding optimization for lower-end devices. Overall, the graphics are considered a strong point of the game, contributing to its addictive and engaging nature.

    • β€œThe graphics and sound design were immersive and enhanced the overall experience.”
    • β€œAbsolutely love this game it offers intense battles, good graphics, great controls, all around fun game and it's addictive.”
    • β€œThe graphics are excellent, with the art style being very well done and consistent.”
    • β€œGraphics, too many times I get caught up in walls that blend in with the ground color. Makes no sense; make them darker and more noticeable.”
    • β€œThe graphics are falsely advertised and way worse.”
    • β€œBoring graphics and shooting mechanic.”
  • grinding199 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively time-consuming and often frustrating, particularly for free-to-play players who feel disadvantaged against those who spend money. Many users report that while initial gameplay is rewarding, progression becomes tedious and slow, requiring significant effort to level up characters or obtain new ones. Additionally, issues with matchmaking exacerbate the grind, as players frequently face opponents with much higher power levels, leading to a sense of futility in their efforts.

    • β€œAlso not too grindy and/or bombarded with unskippable ads.”
    • β€œVery good, engaging, competitive, novel, not too grindy, but there is a bit of that.”
    • β€œHonestly, I love the game, it's addicting but it's hard to level up and get new heroes or go up ranks without grinding. What's worse is the damn lag and ping fluctuations in the middle of the game rendering your hero useless and all the effort and streak you have fades away. As a result, you never rank up or get good rewards or new heroes, and that is so frustrating. Deleted this game 3 times now; if this issue isn't fixed soon, I'll delete it again.”
    • β€œIt's a really unique game, but unless you are able to spend countless hours grinding every day, leveling up will be really slow (unless you pay).”
    • β€œThe game is fun but grinding takes too much time, which overtakes the 'enjoyment' part of the experience.”
  • stability191 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent freezing, lagging, and various glitches that disrupt gameplay. Players have experienced issues such as characters not appearing, the game crashing mid-match, and syncing errors that lead to lost progress and trophies. While some users note improvements after updates, the overall sentiment indicates that the game remains highly buggy and frustrating to play consistently.

    • β€œNo glitches or lagging for me.”
    • β€œIt's very addictive and definitely gets a 5-star review because there are no glitches or hackers at all. It takes time to level your characters, and there are a bunch of awesome abilities that help you win the game. You have to work as a team to be able to take the win, especially when playing 5v5s and 3v3s.”
    • β€œI don't see any glitches in this game when I play it, but it does need new updates and new content to keep users enjoying the game. That's all it needs.”
    • β€œThis game freezes a lot during battle; I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.”
    • β€œGame has been lagging or just plain freezes a lot more frequently.”
    • β€œThe game is an absolute buggy mess and the devs couldn't care less.”
  • story150 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and narrative, with many players expressing a desire for a dedicated story mode or campaign to enhance engagement. Users frequently mention that missions often require characters they do not possess, leading to frustration, and suggest that the game would benefit from more backstory and character development. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, the absence of a cohesive story detracts from the overall experience.

    • β€œI wish there was a story mode (with optional co-op) so I could play with my bad internet service.”
    • β€œIt will be even better if it had a story mode to make it more absorbing, cheers.”
    • β€œAlso, some sort of single-player campaign would be nice, with a good story.”
    • β€œThe missions are usually for operators I don't have and can't get unless I spend money.”
    • β€œIt's frustrating to get a mission that requires heroes I don't have and don't have access to yet.”
    • β€œBut needs refinement on graphics and maybe put some story quests or something because it gets boring when you get into the later part where everything is repeating on a daily basis.”
  • optimization60 mentions

    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing smooth performance and good graphics, while others report significant issues such as lag, connection problems, and glitches. Many users express frustration over the need for better server optimization and performance enhancements, particularly for lower-end devices. Overall, while some updates have improved stability, there remains a consensus that further optimization is necessary to enhance the gaming experience.

    • β€œGenuinely fun, runs smoothly, easy on battery life, the matches are quick to find and are thrilling to play!”
    • β€œGreat game with grand performance.”
    • β€œThe performance of the game is bad.”
    • β€œThe game isn’t optimized at all.”
    • β€œBad optimization, have to uninstall and reinstall once a day, because it won't let me in the game/match. I like that it won't allow you to continue playing the game if you start lagging too much.”
  • humor52 mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with players appreciating the quirky character personalities and amusing moments, such as funny sound effects and unexpected interactions. However, many find the humor undermined by frustrating gameplay elements, such as poor matchmaking and unbalanced bots, leading to more annoyance than laughter. Overall, while the game can provide funny moments, the inconsistencies in gameplay often detract from the comedic experience.

    • β€œThe fun thing about this game is the fact that the characters have different funny personalities while checking their skins.”
    • β€œOne of the best games I've ever played! Nice work on the game, it's fun. I love it! I love the sounds, the graphics, and Freddie is my favorite character. When he gets shot, he goes 'ow', it's fricken hilarious! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚β€
    • β€œIt's very funny and good, because I have a gaming phone. This game is smoother and original, very challenging and interesting to play with family or friends.”
    • β€œNot funny.”
    • β€œThere are so many bots in the game, it's not funny.”
    • β€œIt's not funny. I have a lot of experience in the game, but after the updates, the game is unplayable. You need to go to a signal tower to play the game. Please, the game needs lower internet requirements to play.”
  • music51 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its intensity and atmospheric quality, often likening it to cinematic experiences like "John Wick."

Additionally, there are reports of bugs affecting sound settings, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • β€œLove the atmosphere and the music.”
    • β€œExcellent music, perfectly goes with the game's environment.”
    • β€œWhat I love about this game is how intense the music can get; not only are the graphics amazing, but the gameplay is very well worth the download!”
    • β€œWhile yes it can 100% be pay to win (a lot of games similar to this have this flaw) another thing kills this game for me, sound/music.”
    • β€œThe menu music is fitting, but often loops over itself/repeats whenever exiting a menu, the matches have little to no sound, making it feel stealthy, yet dull.”
    • β€œWould love to have a wider soundtrack because I'm playing it too much and can't stand the current one anymore.”

    • β€œGreat game with awesome replay value.”
    • β€œThe strategy aspect is what gives it replay value.”
    • β€œNot a bad game in terms of replayability and progression; not heavy on the pay-to-win, but a couple of pounds can get you a rare character to kick-start your gameplay.”
    • β€œGreat gameplay mechanics; coming in a bit late, it can feel like there is a lot to grind, but I would say that adds to the replayability.”
    • β€œReplayability is high, and the excitement is there.”

  • atmosphere7 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its immersive qualities, enhanced by appealing graphics and music that contribute to a tense and stealthy environment. Players appreciate the balance of skill-based gameplay within this atmosphere, although some express concerns about the fairness of the upgrade system in a battle royale context. Overall, the game's atmosphere is a standout feature that many reviewers recommend.

    • β€œLove the atmosphere and the music.”
    • β€œThe stealthy atmosphere is very immersive and the players are really nice.”
    • β€œBullet Echo's appealing 2D graphics and witty characters shouldn't distract you from the crude atmosphere and skill-based gameplay which exceeds expectations whether you play competitively or casually.”
    • β€œHas a lot of potential; the tension is really good as you check your surroundings since you can only see so far. However, the main aspect that killed the game for me is the upgrade system for a battle royale game, which can be pretty unfair depending on which type of player you might run into. If they are a higher level than you, they will kill you in the blink of an eye. But that's about it, and I also really like the atmosphere of the game too; I would recommend it.”
    • β€œBullet echo's appealing 2D graphics and witty characters shouldn't distract you from the crude atmosphere and skill-based gameplay, which exceeds expectations whether you play competitively or casually.”
