  • gameplay13 mentions

    The gameplay is generally described as decent with smooth mechanics and good controls, but it suffers from a lack of excitement and a low player base, which diminishes the overall experience. While the game features multiple maps and modes, many players find it lacks depth compared to other popular titles in the genre. Some mechanics, like the insta-kill power-up, are seen as unbalanced, suggesting that further adjustments could enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Super cracked gameplay!!!!”
    • “Very fun and unique FPS with good mechanics.”
    • “The controls feel good and the overall gameplay is really nice, but as some other people are saying, the insta-kill power-up is a bit too strong in my opinion and the sniper rifle should probably be nerfed a bit for the game to feel balanced.”
    • “False front tries to sell itself as a fully developed game, but it's just the same as the beta version with minor gameplay changes and that's it.”
    • “There are multiple maps and game modes, but I wasn't interested in playing more than 2 game modes and maps, just because the gameplay didn't feel exciting enough.”
    • “I don't think the game is necessarily bad; the gameplay, while clunky, is passable. However, other cartoony first-person shooters like Team Fortress 2 or Paladins feel so much better to play, and actually have people playing the game, not to mention the somewhat boring level-up progression.”
  • graphics7 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its unique art style reminiscent of older arcade games, while others criticize it as amateurish and reminiscent of outdated mobile games. Although some find the visuals appealing in a nostalgic way, many agree that improvements are needed to enhance the overall experience.

    • “Amazing graphics”
    • “The game's graphics are not what I would call dated, but it has its own art style.”
    • “First thoughts: the concept of the game is obviously based around Call of Duty but with arena-styled maps and Fortnite-like graphics.”
    • “This game is just not good. I know it is in early access, but it has horrible graphics that remind me of a 2005 phone game. There's nothing special about it that would incentivize you to play this over any other shooter. No player base, mainly bots, bad shooting mechanics, players sticking through walls, and all the maps are boring and remind me of every other boring FPS game I've played, but with worse graphics.”
    • “This has a nice older feel with the arcade style and unique graphics, but it's very amateur.”
    • “Graphics could use some work.”
  • stability3 mentions

    Overall, players report a mixed experience with stability, noting some minor glitches such as out-of-map issues and AI behavior inconsistencies, including bots running into walls or disappearing. While certain features like ranking in private matches are appreciated, the blink ability is criticized for being unreliable and leading to unintended movements.

    • “The blink ability felt buggy to use, blinking me towards spots I didn't even want to blink to.”
    • “Bots, for the most part, felt alright to play against, but there were times where the AI was buggy, causing them to run into walls, run away from me when I was shooting them, or just disappear into walls.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    Reviewers suggest that the game's monetization strategy could be improved by either lowering the price or adopting a free-to-play model with cosmetic microtransactions. They believe that effective advertising through popular streamers could boost player counts, making the game more accessible and appealing in a saturated market. Overall, while the game is well-made and enjoyable, its current pricing may hinder its success.

    • “I believe this game would benefit from a demo, a lower price point, or a complete transformation to free-to-play with cosmetic microtransactions. It's not that the game isn't worth ten dollars, but the genre is so saturated that it's hard to convince players to pay that entry fee for a game they've never heard of, which leads to low player numbers.”
    • “The monetization model is fair and doesn't feel exploitative, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money.”
    • “I appreciate that the game offers optional purchases that enhance the experience without being necessary to progress, making it accessible for all players.”
    • “I do think this game would benefit from either a demo, a lower price point, or a complete transformation to free-to-play with cosmetic microtransactions, not because it's not worth ten dollars, but because as others have said the genre is so saturated it's hard to convince players to pay that entry fee for a game they've never heard of, leading to low player numbers.”
    • “Legit buy some ads on some popular YouTubers or streamers and get the player count up, then charge for cool items if you're going to keep it free. It could make player count go up like crazy. The game is made very well and it's actually fun to play in bots because no one plays.”

  • humor1 mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized as silly and often derived from its poor design, making it enjoyable for those who appreciate a lighthearted, comedic experience. However, players who prefer more polished gameplay may find it unworthy of their time.
