  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for being bland and lacking depth, as it focuses primarily on gameplay rather than narrative. Players note that the campaign consists of eight missions with increasing difficulty, but many feel that the absence of a compelling story detracts from the overall experience. While the missions offer some strategic challenges, they often feel repetitive and scripted, leading to a mixed reception regarding engagement and enjoyment.

    • “There is a 'campaign' which contains a certain amount of missions, your enemy is getting stronger.”
    • “Managing the soldiers and building up a nice firebase over time with limited resources is challenging and fun, and the missions have a bit of variety to them.”
    • “With 6 increasingly difficult missions (each lasting roughly 30 minutes assuming you beat them on your first try) you'll have 3 hours of entertainment on top of endless mode which is worth the price tag for me.”
    • “The campaign is quite bland, no story, just the gameplay, which I don't mind personally.”
    • “Which means going through the boring scripted bits of 'select this and do that.' I've only completed 3 missions, but so far not a lot of strategy other than bunching my team together in a sandbag box and watching a rather slow and dull shootout.”
    • “I would give it a 6/10, good time killer but has some game-ending bugs that can be quite irritating when it causes you to restart your mission.”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by base-building and strategic positioning of various soldier types, offering a nostalgic feel reminiscent of old flash games. While the mechanics can be engaging and fun, players note issues such as RNG affecting shooting accuracy and some quality-of-life bugs that detract from the overall experience. The campaign lacks depth, making it somewhat bland, but it still manages to hold attention for a few hours.

    • “Shooting is RNG-ridden, meaning your men or the enemy will miss sometimes, which makes for interesting gameplay.”
    • “[b]Gameplay[/b]: you start by building your base (obviously) with fortifications, sandbags, and barbed wire. Then you can choose your soldiers: medic, grunts, gunners, bullet carriers, and blasters. Position your soldiers where you want and start the killing.”
    • “Amazing game with engaging mechanics and fun gameplay!”
    • “Great value but has a few bugs that detract from gameplay.”
    • “Problem is the game is a little boring and has gameplay issues - most notably aiming.”
    • “It's a little rough around the edges (mostly quality of life things), but the gameplay works fine.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their smooth performance and appealing art style, with particular appreciation for the detailed effects during enemy defeats, such as blood particle explosions. However, there are suggestions for improving the visuals of certain elements, like sandbags. Overall, the graphics are well-optimized and visually engaging.

    • “It's well optimized and runs very smoothly; I like the art style.”
    • “The graphics are well done, especially when you kill enemies and they explode into particles of blood.”
    • “The visuals of the defenses, particularly the sandbags, could use an update.”
    • “The visuals of the defenses, especially the sandbags, need a significant update.”
    • “The graphics for the defenses, particularly the sandbags, are outdated and lack detail.”
    • “There is a pressing need to enhance the visuals of the defenses, with a focus on the sandbags.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is heavily dominated by the menu tracks, leading to a lack of variety and engagement in the overall audio experience. Players express a desire for additional music to enhance gameplay.

    • “The menu music is absolutely captivating.”
    • “The soundtrack adds a fantastic layer to the overall experience.”
    • “The music really enhances the atmosphere of the game.”
    • “The menu music is overwhelming.”
    • “The game could really benefit from more diverse music options.”
    • “The menu music is too repetitive.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers an enjoyable experience for a limited number of playthroughs, but its rigidity significantly diminishes its overall replayability.
