The game is a hilarious and chaotic arena shooter that combines fast-paced gameplay with absurd humor, making it a blast to play with friends.
It features a variety of enjoyable game modes and weapons, reminiscent of classic shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament, while adding a unique goat-themed twist.
Despite its silly premise, the game is surprisingly well-designed and offers a fun experience, especially for fans of the FPS genre.

The game suffers from technical issues such as lag and crashes, particularly in online matches, which detracts from the overall experience.
While the game has potential, it is still in early access and lacks sufficient content, including maps and weapons, which may limit replayability.
