The gameplay offers fun and immersive elements, especially with room-scale mechanics and polished graphics, but is hampered by clunky, unsatisfying controls and buggy, simplified mechanics. While enjoyable for fans, many find the core gameplay needs significant improvement to compete with better-optimized titles.
- “Great gameplay and graphics.”
- “I am a huge WW2 fan and this game can be amazing if they continue to improve the core gameplay.”
- “Maps take advantage of room scale; it's fun ducking and dodging as bullets whiz by, and gameplay and graphics are quite polished (though this is still early access).”
- “In-game, I felt like I was always fighting odd design mechanics.”
- “Fun and certainly worth $8, but please be warned, game mechanics and interactions are buggy as hell.”
- “Reloading mechanics are simplified, yet I very often take my grenade or knife instead of pulling out the empty magazine due to the too dominant fixed placement of your stuff on your body.”

The graphics are generally praised as good to very good, with polished visuals and high production values that enhance gameplay. Some users note performance improvements over time and appreciate the use of room-scale mechanics. However, a few mention that certain aspects like weapon handling could be smoother for a better experience.
- “Graphics looked great, but it would be good if they implement smooth turning and a single-click to hold guns instead of holding the button.”
- “It has fairly high production values in terms of graphics and the sound seems reasonable as well.”
- “Maps take advantage of room scale; it's fun ducking and dodging as bullets whiz by and gameplay and graphics are quite polished (though this is still early access).”
- “I have an i5 7600k with 32 GB of RAM and a GTX 1060 graphics card. Before, the game was sometimes choppy, but performance updates have improved the run quality.”
- “The graphics are okay but not outstanding.”
- “Graphics are overall decent but lack exceptional detail or polish.”

Optimization appears inconsistent, running smoothly on higher-end GPUs like the Vega 64 but struggling on mid-range cards such as the RX 580. While recent performance updates have improved stability, some users still experience stuttering and choppy frame rates, indicating room for further polish.
- “I'm able to run it on highest settings with solid 90fps on headset with an AMD Vega 64 Nitro 8GB GPU, but my friend can't run all levels on high with an RX 580 4GB card (both using Vive), probably an optimization issue.”
- “If this game is going to be optimized and polished so it feels like Onward in the WW2 setting, this will be an absolute winner.”
- “I have an i5 7600k with 32GB of RAM and a 1060 GTX graphics card, and before it was sometimes choppy, but they have improved performance with updates to make it run better.”
- “I'm able to run it on highest settings with solid 90fps on headset with an AMD Vega 64 Nitro 8GB GPU, but my friend can't run all levels on high with an RX 580 4GB card (both using Vive). Probably an optimization issue.”
- “Terrible optimization.”
- “Movement options are useless; only locomotion works, but stuttering framerates on high-end PC make it uncomfortable.”
stability

The game's stability is notably poor, with frequent bugs affecting key mechanics such as matchmaking and controls. Players report matchmaking errors and frustratingly inconsistent interactions, leading to a generally unstable experience.
- “Fun, and certainly worth $8 imo but please be warned, game mechanics and interactions are buggy as hell.”
- “What we get instead is a buggy mess that leaves a lot to be desired.”
- “Firstly, the matchmaking is buggy as hell as it keeps telling you rooms are full.”
grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Grinding in the game is considered excessive, as many weapons require a significant time investment to unlock. Additionally, some gameplay mechanics, like enemies camping spawn points, can lead to frustrating and repetitive kill farming.
- “That would be okay as the game has fairly capable bots and a lot of content to keep me busy offline, but almost all the weapons are locked by default and require an insane amount of grinding to unlock.”
- “There is nothing stopping the enemy from just sitting in your spawn and farming you for kills.”
