The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many users reporting frequent bugs, frame drops, and lag, particularly in campaign mode and during combat. While some players noted decent performance on lower settings, the overall consensus is that the controls, graphics, and movement mechanics require substantial improvement to enhance the gaming experience. Many reviewers expressed hope for future updates to address these issues, emphasizing the need for better optimization to compete with established titles in the genre.
“The game is pretty good but needs some optimization and improvements - 1) joystick needs to be improved 2) there should be a section for changing the control buttons 3) the sensitivity is kind of weird, I would like to fix it 4) sometimes the screen skips frames and suddenly slips to another direction, it also needs to be improved.”
“I seriously like how the graphics and gameplay are designed and are perfectly optimized for a first version of a game.”
“After some updates and modes and optimization, the game is going to be a superb hit.”
“It's very unoptimized; don't play it. You will often face frame drops, and near the camp area for resting, the game lags heavily and FPS drops significantly. The story is nice, but user experience and immersion are also important.”
“This game needs a lot of fixes such as better movement controls (controlling the player is very bad and weird when moving diagonally and sideways), better graphics (it is the same on both low and ultra graphics), better third-person camera view (the viewing angle changes automatically, which is not perfect), and better optimization (this game is running at <30 FPS on my Snapdragon 845 phone even when set on low graphics settings, whereas it can run popular multiplayer and battle royale games at 40-50 FPS even on medium and high settings).”
“Very poor optimization and poor RAM management; there's only story mode and no guns.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the high prices of in-app purchases and the perceived lack of value in rewards for watching ads. While some users appreciate the absence of intrusive ads during gameplay, others feel that the game is a cash grab, leveraging patriotism to encourage spending without delivering a satisfying experience.

“Edit - this game contains no ads till now, that's good.”

“Looks nothing more than a quick cash grab attempt to fill in the void left by PUBG.”
“Insanely repetitive, boring campaign; you basically do the same thing over and over again. The only reason it's getting good reviews is because it's marketed as the first Indian army game, with Akshay Kumar being the face of the game. This is just a cash grab not worth your time.”

The humor in the game is largely derived from its absurd mechanics and glitches, such as the comical healing process by sitting by a campfire and the ridiculous combat scenarios where enemies behave in nonsensical ways. Players find the enemy dialogue and character movements amusing, often comparing the gameplay to a poorly executed Bollywood film or a children's game. While some appreciate the humor, many express frustration over the game's lack of seriousness and depth, leading to a mixed reception regarding its comedic elements.
“The game was supposed to be realistic, but the way you heal using the campfire is just funny.”

The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by its inspiring and heartwarming storyline, which resonates with players, particularly in relation to national pride and historical events. However, many reviewers feel that the repetitive gameplay and lack of engaging mechanics detract from the emotional experience, making it feel more like a chore than an immersive journey. While the narrative has the potential to evoke strong feelings, the overall execution leaves players wanting more in terms of gameplay variety and depth.
“I became a bit emotional when I saw the intro story as it reminded me of the Galwan Valley incident.”
“Otherwise, an emotional and motivating storyline of our brave soldiers.”
“It's good to finally play a game where we can connect emotionally.”
“Boring story, very cliché. All you do is walk from one place to another, just punching enemies. The map is also the same; it's just going to the same places again and again.”
“I was very excited for this game at the start, but it ended up being boring. The story was good, but I just kept punching everyone. It was time-consuming, and the map sucked. You could have spent more time making an epic PC game that isn't too hardware extensive.”
“But this game is no fun; it actually feels like a boring storytelling session.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be extremely tedious and repetitive, with combat lacking fluidity and movement options. The overwhelming number of enemies and poor AI contribute to a frustrating experience, making battles feel monotonous and unengaging, especially after the initial tutorial. Overall, the grinding mechanics detract significantly from the enjoyment of the game.
“Combat is tedious and has a lack of movement options.”
“The game becomes boring and tedious right after the tutorial.”
“It's very tedious and repetitive; sometimes I die and have to fight the camp before the camp I died on. It's confusing and boring.”

Overall, the atmosphere of the game is generally well-received, with users appreciating the graphics and ambiance that reflect the Indian army's history. However, there are criticisms regarding the lighting and camera mechanics, which detract from the immersive experience. While the game captures a unique vibe, improvements in texture resolution and lighting could enhance the overall atmosphere further.
“I'm gonna keep it short, the idea is there...the ambiance, atmosphere, vibe, structuring everything is perfect.”
“People had to hope that it would be like PUBG but it doesn't matter because you guys have shown that atmosphere while looking at the history belonging to the Indian army.”
“You can download this game if you love India and want to see how the atmosphere is at LAC.”
“The good side of the game is that its controls are smooth, gameplay is also smooth, but where FAU-G is lacking is its game mechanics. The third-person camera is a little weird, the character rotates as we move the camera as if he is connected to it. Also, the graphics are not as expected; an increase in the resolution of textures might help with the look of the game. Additionally, the lighting is pretty bad; they should use both baked and real-time lighting to change the mood of the atmosphere.”
“People had to hope that it would be like PUBG, but it doesn't matter because you guys have shown that the atmosphere, while looking at the history, belongs to the Indian Army.”
“Nice, but I shall give you an opinion that you should add guns and introduce certain Indian maps like LOC, LAC, etc., and can introduce an atmosphere like Warzone, just like the WW2 era.”

Players express frustration with the game's mechanics, noting that the combat system feels unbalanced and limits replayability. Suggestions for improvement include adding multiplayer modes to enhance the overall experience and encourage repeated play.
“The game offers a variety of modes and challenges that keep me coming back for more.”
“Each playthrough feels fresh due to the different strategies and choices available.”
“I love how the game encourages experimentation, making every run feel unique.”
“I like the concept and the graphics are playable, but the operation of the game is so bad. I mean, you give a guy a pipe knife weapon and let him perform a combo attack of 5 attacks which will rapidly decrease your health, while I stand there with the same weapon performing a combo attack of two attacks that only does about 20 damage.”
“I appreciate your hard work, but you have to make it more playable.”
“Please add multiplayer and TDM mode in FAUG; it will be more playable after that.”
