  • story
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is minimalistic, which some players find refreshing compared to the lengthy dialogues typical of AAA titles, though it may leave others wanting more depth. While the plot is considered interesting and the game features detailed locations, the lack of mid-mission saves and the potential for crashes can lead to frustrating experiences, particularly when replaying missions resets progress. Overall, the narrative aspect is engaging but marred by significant quality-of-life issues.

    • “The plot is actually quite interesting, and there are many detailed locations.”
    • “All missions included (no more paywall after mission 5!).”
    • “The story is but a few lines of text - but I'm so tired of skipping all the nonsense dialogues and lore in those AAA titles, so this minimalism was very refreshing.”
    • “No saving mid-missions, which is a massive quality of life feature that it needs, especially when it can have the tendency to crash.”
    • “If you try to replay a mission, say the 2nd mission, and you are currently on mission 7, it resets the campaign to mission 2.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is fast-paced and engaging, focusing on simple mechanics with limited weapon options and class flexibility, allowing for creative combinations. However, issues like poor English translations and an overly easy difficulty level once the mechanics are understood detract from the experience. Overall, the absence of base building enhances the flow of gameplay, making it enjoyable despite some drawbacks.

    • “The mechanics are super simple: a few guns, two types of ammo, and classes don't mean a thing. I had an RPG-wielding sniper, and it was fun.”
    • “Overall, the concept is cool and the gameplay is engaging.”
    • “As far as gameplay is concerned: poor English translations, with voice-over not matching the text.”
    • “The 'Ironman' mode makes the game too easy once you grasp the mechanics.”
    • “It is every bit of the previously mentioned games without the base building aspect, which keeps the gameplay flowing.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game exhibits stability issues, including occasional bugs and control delays, with some players experiencing unrecoverable glitches. Despite these problems, many users still find enjoyment in the overall experience.

  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its absurd and ironic elements, such as the juxtaposition of serious gameplay mechanics with comically ineffective characters, like a queen that frequently misses shots. This blend of tragedy and comedy creates a uniquely entertaining experience for players.

    • “This game is like chess, but every pawn is a tank and your queen keeps missing 95% of her shots—hilariously tragic!”
    • “The dialogue is so witty that I found myself laughing out loud at the absurdity of the situations.”
    • “Every time I think I've seen it all, the game throws in a joke that completely catches me off guard!”
