The game offers realistic weapon handling with one-shot kills and a sense of immersion in a large-scale WWII environment.
Graphics and animations are considered good or above average compared to similar free-to-play games.
Game modes and map design provide tactical gameplay with a variety of classes and vehicles, appealing to fans of tactical WWII shooters.

Extremely low player count and only one server available, resulting in frequent empty or almost empty matches.
Numerous bugs, poor UI, lack of tutorials, clunky controls, and bad hit detection diminish the gameplay experience.
Pay-to-win elements restrict access to many weapons and vehicles unless purchased, further fragmenting the player base and limiting free players.

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some users praising their realism, clarity, and optimization for low-end PCs, while others criticize them as outdated, blurry, or simplistic. Although visuals are generally considered good or even amazing by several players, issues like poor UI design and limited graphic settings, especially on laptops, detract from the overall experience. The game's graphics are appreciated for a free-to-play title, but they fall short compared to higher-tier or more polished WWII FPS games.
- “I'm a Battlefield player and must say I find this game enjoyable. It has realistic gunfights and good graphics. It may be light on content but it's free, has 20 maps, and is definitely fun to play.”
- “The graphics are amazing, the combat system & everything else is a bad copy of Heroes & Generals.”
- “The game is great, F2P friendly, with stunning graphics and just awkward controls for left-hand folks.”
- “Very limited graphics settings; the game is very dark during play, and on a laptop, there is no option to adjust contrast or other settings.”
- “The game is different from the advertisements; the graphics are bad, the UI is bad, and the gameplay is not that good either.”
- “It is branded early alpha in-game, reading 'pre-alpha' elsewhere; the graphics on epic settings are so terrible you want to cry.”

The gameplay receives mixed reviews, with some praising its fun and engaging WW2-inspired mechanics and promising progress during early alpha stages, while others criticize poor shooting mechanics, sluggish movement, buggy netcode, and lack of polish. Comparisons to games like Red Orchestra highlight its potential but also its shortcomings in refinement and depth. Overall, gameplay is considered moderate to acceptable, with room for improvement as development continues.
- “Well there is only one server so that sucks... hope there are more people playing this because it is actually fun and pretty nice for its graphics, map design, and gameplay.”
- “To be honest, graphics are really good, gameplay, mechanics, everything.”
- “Of course it's in progress but so far the gameplay and map designs are insanely fun :) can't wait for the game to be complete. Be sure I'm going to spend a few hundred hours on this one a+++++++++”
- “Shooting mechanic is worse than Call of Duty 1 had.”
- “Horrible miserable game, it's not worth it and I can tell you why: shooting mechanics is horrible, bullet registration is horrible, netcode is horrible and that's why people are not playing this game.”
- “There are locked classes in the game that can give an ultimate advantage in gameplay like being able to run faster than most gunners and having the same uniform as the other team.”

The monetization is heavily criticized for effectively being an advertisement disguised as a full game, misleading players and taking up valuable market space. Additionally, microtransactions for locked classes are seen as exploitative, while the game itself fails to deliver on the advertised quality. Overall, players feel the approach is a cash grab and not worth their time or investment.
- “✔ - Completely free to play, no in-game purchases.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demos/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers.”
- “And the microtransactions to acquire these locked classes is BS.”
stability

The game is plagued by frequent stability issues including freezing, bugs preventing basic actions like climbing ladders, lag, and hitbox problems. While some glitches are expected in an alpha state, the overall experience is hindered by poor optimization and lack of updates, leading many users to consider it buggy and unreliable.
- “I know that they say that this game is in alpha and that is known to freeze but I can't even play the game because it freezes up when I start a match.”
- “Cannot climb ladders nor stairs (buggy).”
- “Only one server, buggy and laggy as hell and tons of basecampers.”

Reviews on optimization are mixed: some users praise the game for good performance and smooth gameplay, while others report issues like frame rate drops, texture jitters, and poor debugging. Overall, optimization appears inconsistent, with both well-optimized experiences and significant performance problems reported.
- “Optimization is really good, graphics run smoothly and guns feel heavy and responsive. Only issue is that you can't strafe while sprinting, but otherwise everything is fine.”
- “Performance seems to run fine for me, despite some reports of issues.”
- “Optimized really well.”
- “Really good game but not great optimization. Skyrim Special Edition runs with twice the frame rate at the same resolution and max settings. The game is definitely a fun shooter with some vehicles, but needs work on debugging. It's very hard to play when there's odd jitter because textures aren't being drawn properly.”
- “Bad optimization.”
- “I've been reading about performance issues, though it seems to run fine for me.”

The game's story is essentially nonexistent, with no campaign or player-driven narrative present in its current pre-alpha state. While the map offers a sizable urban environment suitable for various combat styles, the lack of story elements and language support indicates it needs significant improvement.
- “Where are the players alpha stage and its got plenty of room no bots 8-9 story buildings size of a nice city perfect for sniping, perfect for full frontal assaults.”
- “Nice, but needs improvement like a story, or more guns and better graphics.”
- “It is branded early alpha in-game, where it reads 'pre-alpha' on another spot, classic Unreal 4 clickbait (graphics on epic settings so terrible you want to cry), there are theoretically 2 languages (Russian and English) but clicking on RU and/or EN buttons does nothing... no campaign, no story, no players.”
- “No campaign, no story, no players.”
- “Story? Nothing to speak of.”

The game's humor is highlighted by amusing elements like the pitiful gun sounds and chaotic team-killing in fog of war, which players find funny but occasionally overwhelming.
- “Funny game.”
- “The guns in this game sound so pitiful, it's actually funny.”
- “The team-killing in fog of war, while fun and hilarious, is too much to deal with.”
grinding
3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Grinding in the game is present but more user-friendly, focusing on unlocking specific weapons through an experience-based shop system that benefits multiple classes rather than grinding for class-specific stats. This approach makes the grind more purposeful and engaging.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “It has some sort of experience-based shop system where you unlock more weapons and stuff, which is kinda cool to see. I mean, there's still grinding, but you're grinding for some specific weapon you want to unlock, which will be available to you for multiple classes.”
- “You're not grinding a specific class for specific stats or anything like that; it's more user friendly, if I may say so.”
