  • The game is fun and easy to play, making it a good option for passing the time.
  • It features good-looking maps and enjoyable WWII-themed action.
  • The game is accessible for players with low-end PCs, providing a smooth experience even on less powerful hardware.
  • The game has significant pay-to-win mechanics, making it difficult for free players to compete.
  • There are numerous bugs and issues, including hit registration problems and a lack of proper matchmaking.
  • Many players report encountering cheaters and bots, which diminishes the overall gaming experience.
  • graphics
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising their realism and quality, particularly on lower-end hardware, while others criticize them as washed out or poorly designed. Despite some enjoyable visual elements, many users note issues with character movement and overall map design, leading to a perception of low-quality environments. Overall, while the graphics have seen improvements, they are often overshadowed by gameplay mechanics and balance concerns.

    • “There is a variety of maps, graphics and controls are excellent, it is realistic, no fantasy or crazy skills/features just a WWII PvP shooting game and you can buy and upgrade weapons with in-game currency.”
    • “Even with an older i7-4790 and GTX 1660 Super, I have no problem on a 32-inch monitor with high graphics.”
    • “I like everything about the game, especially the graphics, the sound, and the style of the battle.”
    • “Without that, you have to empty an entire magazine without even killing the enemy who, on the contrary, will kill you in two bullets. There are almost only bots, bad graphics, and when you move, you have the impression that the characters slide. Conclusion: it's a mobile game on PC, bad and pay-to-win. If you want to play a free game and not pay-to-win, I recommend Combat Master, which is free, with good graphics, not pay-to-win, and well made.”
    • “Good performance, but low quality graphics. Maps are terrible and uninteresting with poorly made environments, weak game balance, and a very slow grind to improve your characters.”
    • “The graphics have improved a lot, but other than that, it has less content than its predecessor. The progress trees, which just buffed the stats of your weapon (rate of fire, damage, etc.) by a little, were replaced by upgrades to sights, ammo, and magazine.”
  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally solid and enjoyable, featuring customizable characters and historically accurate weapon mechanics, but it suffers from a pay-to-win model and some clunky movement. While many players appreciate the WWII-themed action and graphics, others find the experience repetitive and marred by bugs and the necessity to purchase in-game items like grenades. Overall, it appeals to casual gamers but may frustrate those seeking a more polished experience.

    • “Solid gameplay, though a tad too familiar.”
    • “Oh my god this is so good: you can totally customize your character and change your nation whenever you want; one downside is they use incorrect flags; the gameplay is perfect. If you get 8 kills, air support comes in, and the guns are historically accurate down to how you reload them. I am addicted to this game and I've only been playing for 1 hour or more. Perfect game.”
    • “The gameplay is fairly easy and is suitable for gamers who are not very experienced with shooting games.”
    • “While it offers some enjoyable WWII-themed action and some interesting graphics, it's marred by a significant pay-to-win (P2W) mechanic.”
    • “Maps aren't too bad, but there's a mechanic where you have to buy grenades (mostly with in-game currency) to be able to replenish and use the items. If you run out of grenades or healing items, you will not have any in-game.”
    • “Horrible gameplay, bugs, and pay-to-win.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is criticized for lacking a compelling narrative, with players expressing a desire for a more structured storyline rather than the current MMO format. Additionally, frustrations arise from issues related to reward systems, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “I like this game, but it would be nice if there was a storyline to play instead of just MMO. It reminds me too much of games like Call of Duty Mobile.”
    • “Don't buy anything from this game; you don't receive your rewards. After 200 matches, I didn't get any gold, and I don't get the gold from the contracts or the daily missions.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is generally good in terms of performance, but it suffers from low-quality graphics and poorly designed maps that detract from the experience. Players also note issues with game balance and a frustratingly slow character progression system.

    • “You get red dot sights, magical invisible magazine extensions, and ammo types to improve the ammo performance.”
    • “The optimization feels half-baked, with features like red dot sights and invisible magazine extensions that don't really enhance gameplay.”
    • “The ammo types meant to improve performance seem more like a gimmick than a genuine optimization.”
    • “Overall, the optimization in this game is disappointing and lacks the depth needed to make a real impact.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is perceived as lacking, with players feeling that the experience is more frustrating than funny due to unfair matchmaking and pay-to-win mechanics. Many users express disappointment, suggesting that the game's design undermines any potential for humor.

    • “This game is a joke; it's all about who spends the most money. They pair you against people whose weapons kill you in one shot, and I purchased a good character, yet it's still so unfair it's not funny.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization system allows for progression through purchases, but players can still succeed in matches primarily through skill and effort, ensuring a balanced competitive experience.

    • “Despite monetization options for progression, it's still possible to win matches and achieve success through skill and effort.”
    • “The game offers a fair balance between monetization and gameplay, allowing players to enjoy the experience without feeling pressured to spend.”
    • “I appreciate that the monetization system is not pay-to-win; you can still compete effectively without spending money.”
    • “The monetization system feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending money.”
    • “I feel like the game is designed to push players towards microtransactions, which ruins the overall experience.”
    • “While there are ways to progress without spending, the constant reminders to buy in-game currency are frustrating.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, particularly when it comes to obtaining weapons and items, indicating that it can be a tedious and challenging process.

    • “If you're grinding for the guns and stuff, well then good luck.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I spent hours grinding for resources, only to feel like I made no progress.”
