gameplay6 positive mentions

optimization7 negative mentions

Fun and unique team-based gameplay with a focus on collecting briefcases and escaping the island, offering tactical and varied combat scenarios.
Variety of vehicles including tanks, helicopters, jets, boats, horses, and land vehicles with repair and fuel mechanics adds depth and excitement.
Despite some bugs and optimization issues, the game is enjoyable with friends and has a passionate developer community supporting it.

Severely lacking player base and dead multiplayer servers make it difficult to find matches and enjoy the game as intended.
Poor optimization leading to inconsistent framerates and occasional bugs, impacting the overall gaming experience.
Controls can be unintuitive or clunky, especially aircraft handling, and the game suffers from limited content such as lack of bots, base building, or trading systems.

gameplay
32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
19% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions
The gameplay features simple yet smooth mechanics with a large map, vehicle use, and team-based objectives that offer fun, intense, and varied experiences, especially with friends. However, it suffers from a dwindling player base, bugs, and clunkiness that diminish enjoyment, making multiplayer matches difficult to find and sometimes leading to a lack of engagement. Despite these issues, the game shows strong potential with unique survival and battle royale elements, but it needs updates and a larger community to fully realize its appeal.
- “Simple but smooth mechanics, quick easy looting, vehicles everywhere and a pretty big map.”
- “The gameplay loop is about teams of up to 4 players trying to collect 4 briefcases and then get off the island.”
- “A full 32-player 4v4v4v4v4v4v4v4 is pure mayhem and really fun, but 1v1ing your friend is also good and the mechanics are rich enough that the loss in sheer activity is made up for by trying to outwit and outplan your opponent.”
- “A rather cheap game with poor graphics and gameplay.”
- “The gameplay, or lack of, is actually quite boring.”
- “Filled with glitches, playerbase is nonexistent and the gameplay is a snoozefest.”
graphics

The game's graphics are generally considered low quality and unpolished, often resembling generic or recycled assets, with some users finding them "meh" or "ugly." While the visuals are functional and occasionally effective for gameplay, they lack optimization and refinement, leading to performance issues on certain systems. Overall, graphics are acceptable for a low-cost, gameplay-focused title but leave room for significant improvement.
- “Great game just needs some more players, awesome graphics and gameplay.”
- “The graphics aren't the best but they are totally playable and most areas look great!”
- “I like the graphics style, it is clear enough to spot enemies far off.”
- “The graphics are extremely low quality and are reminiscent of those cheap Unity assets you see in almost every game at this point.”
- “A rather cheap game with poor graphics and gameplay.”
- “I have to play the game at low graphics and only get a little more than 30fps; my specs are pretty decent and can handle lots of other games at ultra.”
optimization
23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
17% positive mentions, 53% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions
Users consistently report that the game suffers from significant optimization issues, causing lag and poor performance even on relatively strong hardware. While some note recent updates have improved performance, many feel the game still requires substantial optimization work before it reaches its full potential.
- “It works and is well optimized.”
- “Previous optimization issues have mostly been addressed in the recent performance update.”
- “The optimization is not any worse than several AAA titles I've played.”
- “I love this game, but it needs optimization; it's really laggy for me, and from what I see of the game, it shouldn't lag this badly.”
- “Performance optimization is horrible; I can run Fortnite on high settings and get 60fps. Obviously, Fortnite is more CPU intensive, but that doesn't mean this game doesn't need work on its FPS issue.”
- “Real bad optimization issues, a pretty hefty lack of polish, and a general feeling of 'roughness' turn a decent idea into a mess of a game.”
