    188 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by innovative grappling mechanics that provide a unique and engaging experience, allowing for fluid movement and satisfying combat.

    • “The seamless transition between grappling and shooting creates a fluidity in gameplay that is both intuitive and immensely satisfying.”
    • “This game is the worst game I've ever played and it has aim bot that makes the game even less fun than what it already was. The mechanics of the game are horrible, a rip-off from other games; overall, this game sucks.”
    • “This game isn't balanced at all (see: the machete). The grapple mechanic is just broken (spam grapple button for easy speed, grapples straight up not working at times), has many connection issues, and just feels very rough overall.”
    • “Great game, fun physics, as well as well-designed maps. Only complaints are that there isn't a huge arsenal of weapons, which makes gameplay mostly repetitive, and that movement should be a little faster. I feel like the grappling is kind of slow at times, and you get stuck a lot.”
