The gameplay is praised for its unique and well-executed mechanics, combining elements of soccer and shooting in a fast-paced, strategic environment. While the game offers fun and frantic moments, particularly when played with friends, it suffers from a lack of active multiplayer servers and occasional graphical lag. Overall, the developers have polished the gameplay to a high standard, making it enjoyable despite its reliance on a small player community.
“Its controls are tight and gameplay is fun.”
“Fantastic gameplay, terrific execution of the concept.”
“There are a lot of deep mechanics and power-ups that make this game very strategic and competitive; it probably has the potential to compete with CS:GO's competitive scene.”
“Unfortunately, the gameplay is clunky and lags graphically too often, and especially at critical times, it seems.”

“The game felt overall very well put together and had a really great concept with decent execution but fell down because of its heavy reliance on multiplayer gameplay but nobody playing it.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their quality and aesthetic appeal, reminiscent of titles like Super Monday Night Combat and Team Fortress 2. However, players have reported issues with clunky gameplay and graphical lag, particularly during critical moments, though adjustments to settings can improve performance. As the game is in early access, there is hope for further polish and refinement in the graphics and overall presentation.
“The graphics and the sound effects in the game are without a doubt amazing.”
“Surprisingly fun with really good graphics and gameplay.”
“Unfortunately, the gameplay is clunky and lags graphically too often, and especially at critical times, it seems.”
“It does start with some wonky graphics settings, but after adjusting them it looks and plays pretty well, and many of the aesthetics (like the hideous alpha-style menus) will likely be fixed as more polish is added to the game.”
“Early access and still it has awesome graphics!”
