“However, it was very jumpy... every time I started running, it seemed as though I jumped. My arms keep kind of appearing in my vision. Holding the shield was not smooth. It's buggy but has potential to be a fun shooter. Don't know if I can recommend yet.”
“The art style is simple and pleasing, but it lacks depth and detail that could enhance the overall experience.”

“I thought I would try this out... it's cute... I love the graphic style... gives you a break from simulators... fun gun mechanics... however, it was very jumpy... every time I started running it seemed as though I jumped... my arms keep kind of appearing in my vision... holding the shield was not smooth... it's buggy but has potential to be a fun shooter. Don't know if I can recommend yet.”
“Yes, it's buggy here and there but I can see past that without lowering my standards for firearm realism and fun.”
“This game works so far but it's still buggy. I enter a game and it's dead, but it works; all it needs is people playing it. I got it for like 3 bucks or something, so I'm gonna wait until it gets populated. So yeah, check it out; it's pretty decent.”
