- “What it lacks in presentation, it makes up for tenfold in gameplay and the amount of content it offers, blowing its competition out of the water.”
- “This game has a lot of potential, but the weapon mechanics need a ton of polishing and the game needs optimization in order to stop the repeated black-screening.”
- “Quick-paced shooter that's easy to grasp; however, when compared to the other two, the gameplay and controls are not fluid, the recoil/bullet spread feels off, and the netcode needs some serious work.”
