The presence of a map maker further adds to the game's appeal.

    • “Having fun gameplay along with a massive variety of weapons to choose from.”

  • grinding2 mentions

    Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it can be undermined by others who pay to skip the grind, leading to an imbalance in gameplay. The cosmetic rewards for grinding are seen as lackluster and not worth the effort, diminishing the overall experience.

    • “I bring this up because you can be playing a game, doing your best, putting effort into winning, and one of these guys can just show up and start farming you.”
    • “It would be fine if it was cosmetic only, but you can literally pay to skip the grinding with no other use than to buy clothing options that are clunky and unnoticeable at best with the top-down perspective. You can color your hair or wear a balaclava and glasses; that's about it.”
  • story2 mentions

    Players express a desire for ongoing updates to the game's story campaigns, indicating that while the multiplayer experience can be challenging against veteran players, there is hope for enriching narrative content in future updates.

    • “Hope this game continues to be updated with great maps and story campaigns.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization model features standard microtransactions typical of free games, but notably lacks a premium currency, allowing players to unlock everything through gameplay. This approach is viewed positively, as it enhances the game's accessibility and potential for growth with increased advertising and a larger player base.

    • “While there are microtransactions (which is to be expected from most free games), there is no kind of premium currency or anything you can't unlock simply by playing for long enough, which is a plus for these types of games.”

    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable.”
    • “I encountered numerous glitches that disrupted my gameplay experience.”
  • humor1 mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by its playful and absurd elements, exemplified by the amusing depiction of a rocket exploding in a comedic fashion. This lighthearted approach adds a whimsical charm to the overall experience.
