The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and character development, with many players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative, such as a campaign mode or story missions.

Overall, players feel that the removal of credit rewards from missions has diminished the game's appeal, and they are eager for updates that would reinstate these features and enhance the overall gameplay experience.

Overall, the game's optimization receives mixed feedback from users. While many praise its graphics and smooth performance on various devices, several players report issues such as lag, frame drops, and poor optimization for lower-end devices. There are calls for further improvements, particularly in control settings and server stability, to enhance the overall gaming experience.
- “Such a nice concept and really well optimized graphics.”
- “Great game worthy of a console/PC release, perfectly optimized for mobile play.”
- “It is extremely fun, has very good graphics, and it is very well optimized, so even if you have a super crappy phone like mine, it will still run well.”
- “Just there are issues and controls that need to be adjusted. Connection issues pop up often even with strong signal strength. I just want a suggestion about the controls. Please put a setting that splits up the screen function, like the right side of the screen is for aiming, and the left side is dedicated only for movement. You should not aim on that side to avoid misclicks because it messes up my aim a lot, especially for phones that are not optimized for four-finger touch.”
- “I remember finding this game in late 2019; everything was so simple yet so good. I decided to try it again to mostly 'bring back memories,' but the game now has terrible optimization. I'm getting 40-50 fps on a 6GB RAM phone that is only three months old.”
