Reviewers express disappointment in the game's replayability, noting that despite its low price, it lacks the quality and engaging content found in free games like Team Fortress 2. The consensus suggests that the game feels underdeveloped and may not offer enough incentive for players to return after initial play.
“When I started the game for the first time, I was shocked at how cheap it seemed. Yes, I'm sure most of you would say, 'What did you expect? The game was $1.99.' My reply to you would be that games such as Team Fortress 2 and Heroes & Generals, both of which are free, are of much higher quality and 1000 times more playable. The only positive about this game is that it is a good idea, but honestly, I would have left it as an idea without putting it into reality yet.”
