The stability of the game is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous glitches that hinder gameplay, such as inconsistent floor levels, limitations in arcade mode, and issues with aiming mechanics. Additionally, left-handed players face recurring setup challenges and bugs that can prevent them from progressing past the tutorial. Overall, the game appears to be plagued by significant stability issues.
“Glitches cause the floor to sometimes be at eye level, making it impossible to play arcade mode on maps other than sci-fi. The aiming option feels like hitting a golf ball without proper trigger lock angles. Additionally, left-handed settings need to be adjusted every time, and sometimes I have to hit it backwards due to what seems like a glitch, especially for left-handed players.”
“The game is so buggy that I can't even get past the tutorial.”
