  • gameplay1,014 mentions

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

    • β€œThe gameplay is great, with easy to understand and use mechanics, but fun to master.”
    • β€œI absolutely love everything about the mechanics and personalization of this game, however, there is a horribly glaring issue with matchmaking.”
    • 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 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.”
    • β€œThe gameplay is pretty boring, and it has some stuff that are straight up copied from Supercell's Brawl Stars like some parts of the UI and the chest system.”
  • monetization567 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, which some describe as predatory and akin to a cash grab, particularly as they feel necessary for competitive play. Overall, while the game offers a fun experience with minimal intrusive ads, the aggressive push for microtransactions has left many players frustrated.

    • β€œMicrotransactions are optional, which is nice.”
    • β€œNo ads unless you want to watch them for free loot.”
    • β€œGreat game overall and no ads unless you're willing to watch them for bonus chests.”
    • β€œHowever, all this game tries to do is relentlessly shove in-app purchases down your throat.”
    • β€œThe microtransactions are extremely overpriced; matchmaking is so ridiculous for basing it on your trophy count instead of your hero power.”
    • β€œIt's a cash grab clearly, sooner or later you will be sorry.”
  • graphics416 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many users praising the art style, smooth animations, and overall visual appeal. However, some players noted inconsistencies in design quality, occasional graphical glitches, and a desire for more optimization, particularly for lower-end devices. While the visuals are often described as immersive and engaging, there are calls for improvements in character visibility and a more polished aesthetic to enhance the gaming experience further.

    • β€œThe graphics and sound design were immersive and enhanced the overall experience.”
    • β€œAbsolutely love this game; it offers intense battles, good graphics, and great controls. It's an 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€œIt's fun as a playground for a toddler, but the advertisement was a complete lie regarding the graphics, and that's just disgusting and disingenuous.”
  • stability170 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, lagging, and various glitches that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience issues such as characters not appearing, syncing errors, and unexpected exits during matches, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. While some updates have improved performance, the overall consensus is that the game remains highly buggy and in need of further fixes to enhance stability.

    • 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.”
  • grinding169 mentions

    The reviews indicate that the game is heavily reliant on grinding, which many players find tedious and frustrating, especially at higher levels where progress slows significantly. While some enjoy the grind and find it rewarding, others feel that the pay-to-win elements exacerbate the issue, making it difficult for free-to-play users to compete effectively. Overall, the consensus is that while the game can be fun, the grinding aspect often overshadows the enjoyment, particularly due to unbalanced matchmaking and the slow pace of character progression.

    • 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.”
  • story125 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engaging narrative, with many players expressing a desire for a dedicated story mode or campaign to enhance the experience. Users frequently mention that missions often require characters they do not possess, leading to frustration, and the overall mission structure is seen as repetitive and grind-heavy. Additionally, there are calls for better matchmaking and balance to ensure a fairer gameplay experience, as well as improvements to the visibility of character information and mission objectives.

    • 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.”
    • β€œSomething like a 'story mode' (like an RPG) would be fun.”
    • 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€œThis game would be better if it had a story or offline mode.”
  • optimization48 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 errors, and glitches. Many users express frustration over the game's poor server optimization and high ping, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite some improvements noted in recent updates, there is a consensus that further optimization is needed to enhance gameplay, especially for lower-end devices.

    • β€œPerformance is really good as well.”
    • β€œThe mechanics are enjoyable and well optimized for mobile gameplay.”

  • humor39 mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with players appreciating the quirky character personalities and amusing moments, particularly when interacting with bots. However, many find the humor diminishes due to frustrating gameplay mechanics, such as unbalanced matchmaking and bot AI, which can lead to more annoyance than laughter. Overall, while there are funny elements, the game's inconsistencies and competitive nature often overshadow the comedic aspects.

    • β€œThe fun thing about this game is the fact that the characters have different funny personalities while checking their skins.”
    • 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€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€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.”
  • music33 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the intense and atmospheric soundtrack that enhances the overall experience. However, some users criticize the repetitive nature of the menu and matchmaking music, as well as the lack of variety in the soundtrack, suggesting that it can become dull over time. Overall, while the music is generally well-received for its quality and fitting ambiance, there are calls for improvements in variety and functionality.

    • 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.”

    Overall, players find the game's replayability to be exceptionally high, often praising its strategic elements and enjoyable mechanics.

    • β€œGreat game with awesome replay value.”
    • β€œReplayability is high, and the excitement is there.”
    • β€œNot a bad game in terms of replayability and progression; it's not heavily pay-to-win, but a couple of pounds can get you a rare character to kick-start your gameplay.”
    • β€œ4/5 stars so far, because they're aiming to make the game more playable and fair. When it's fixed, I'll give it five.”
    • 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.”
  • character development14 mentions

    Overall, character development in the game is praised for its excellent design and uniqueness, contributing to an engaging gameplay experience. However, some players express a desire for more substantial changes and progression over time, indicating that while the character designs are impressive, the development of characters themselves may not have evolved significantly.

    • β€œBest game of the year with its fantastic modes which marks out its difference in the store. I would suggest a wholesome game where players can communicate in-game, thus creating a bond with us, the players.”
  • atmosphere6 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is widely praised for its immersive qualities, enhanced by engaging music and appealing graphics. Players appreciate the tension created by limited visibility and stealth elements, contributing to a compelling experience. However, some concerns about the upgrade system in a battle royale context slightly detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • 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.”
    • 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€œI believe it's the atmosphere.”
