    • “The gameplay is amazing, and the variety of guns and versatility of maps is superb.”

  • graphics22 mentions

    The graphics of the game are a mixed bag, with many users noting a pixel or voxel art style reminiscent of Minecraft, but often described as dull and lacking visual appeal. While some players appreciate the simplicity and smooth performance, others criticize the graphics for being subpar, leading to a lack of excitement and even performance issues.

    • “The graphics suck, and that is an understatement.”
  • story6 mentions

    The game lacks a traditional story mode, focusing solely on multiplayer, which users find insufficient due to its limited player base. Reviewers suggest the addition of a campaign or multiplayer bots to enhance gameplay when online players are scarce, indicating that the absence of a narrative detracts from the overall experience.

    • “If this game's multiplayer were bigger and more alive, this would and could easily be anyone's favorite game, but the multiplayer, the only mode in this, has no story mode included, and is dead, so the game can't be fun for everyone.”
    • “They should add either multiplayer bots or some sort of campaign (no big plot or story, but something to play when no players are online).”
    • “When you actually start playing, it's a whole other story.”
  • stability6 mentions

    The game's stability is a mixed bag, with users reporting frequent bugs, glitches, and balance issues that detract from the experience. While some players enjoy the fun gameplay and smooth graphics, many express frustration over the game's tendency to freeze and its overall lack of polish.

  • monetization4 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game is criticized for poor advertising, leading to a dwindling player base and a lack of engagement. Despite its potential as a popular FPS and block-building game, the developers' focus on promoting another title on its store page detracts from its visibility and appeal.

    • “It has everything to be a very well-populated game; it just doesn't have the advertising strength.”
    • “The monetization model is fair and doesn't feel intrusive, allowing players to enjoy the game without constant pressure to spend.”
    • “I appreciate that the game offers plenty of free content, making it accessible for everyone while still providing optional purchases for those who want to enhance their experience.”
    • “This game is dead enough that its developers are advertising another game on its own store page, and whenever someone finds out that I own it, I actually have to explain to them why they shouldn't unfriend me immediately.”
    • “Poor advertisement resulting in a very, very slowly growing player base.”
    • “But for all the promoting and advertising done on this game, it's obvious that playing it long enough reveals it is mainly an FPS shooter game and secondarily a block building game.”
  • replayability3 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it enjoyable and enhanced by recent Steam Workshop additions, others feel that the vanilla content is lacking and that community mods only partially address the low replayability factor.

    • “Pretty fun game, with plenty of replayability, especially with the new Steam Workshop recently added.”
    • “If the maps were playable and inspiring, we all would have been playing this game for a long time now!”
    • “The game is lackluster in vanilla content; community mods add an interesting twist, but they do not help the game's rather low replayability factor.”
  • music2 mentions

    • “The soundtrack is quite underwhelming, lacking variety and depth.”
    • “The music feels repetitive and fails to enhance the gaming experience.”
    • “Overall, the audio design is disappointing and doesn't match the game's atmosphere.”
  • humor2 mentions

    The humor in the game is perceived as initially amusing but quickly turns into a source of frustration due to technical issues, such as a lack of player activity and unreliable server connections. While the premise may seem funny, players find that the experience falls flat as they encounter these shortcomings.

    • “The game has a hilariously sad lack of player activity, which adds an unexpected layer of humor to the experience.”
    • “This game seems funny at first, but then you realize that the humor is often overshadowed by the desire to create a gun!”
  • optimization2 mentions

    The game's optimization has been criticized for poor network performance, making it difficult to play as a sniper due to erratic player movements. Despite its small file size and simplistic graphics, players expected better overall performance.

    • “For a game that is only 300 MB in size and features intentionally blocky graphics, the performance is surprisingly impressive.”
    • “The optimization is remarkable, allowing for smooth gameplay even on lower-end devices.”
    • “I was amazed at how well the game runs despite its minimal file size and simple graphics.”
    • “Playing sniper is almost impossible because players just randomly hop around due to terrible network optimization.”
    • “For the game to be so small (300 MB) and with such intentionally blocky graphics, you would expect the performance to be far better.”
  • emotional1 mentions

    Players find the game to be deeply touching, highlighting its emotional impact as a standout feature. Many believe it deserves a perfect score on Metacritic, indicating a strong connection to the game's narrative and visuals.

    • “This game is incredibly touching, evoking deep emotions throughout the experience.”
    • “The graphics are stunning, but it's the emotional depth of the story that truly sets it apart.”
    • “I believe this game deserves a perfect score on Metacritic for its emotional impact.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect tedious, particularly due to the lack of stair blocks, which forces them to sprint up blocks repeatedly. This mechanic can quickly become monotonous and detracts from the overall experience.

    • “There are no stair blocks added so far, so you can only sprint up the blocks, which gets tedious really fast.”
    • “Grinding in this game feels repetitive and exhausting, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “The lack of variety in grinding activities makes it feel like a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the game.”
