I played with my friends, etc. After updates and updates, the game honestly became trash. There are so many glitches, plus without character skills and gun skins, you are nothing. Honestly, after the OB25 update, the fonts and the sound effects changed, and that change made me uninstall the game because I don't get the vibe anymore.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the reliance on in-app purchases and the perceived pay-to-win model, which gives advantages to those who spend money.

- “It is a free MMO battle royale, there are in-app purchases, but it isn't pay-to-win.”
- “It's only advertising and advertising, no good stuff.”

- “Full with microtransactions, no real added content despite being heavily monetized, scummy tactics by the developers such as rigged spins where you get the reward in the very last spin.”
