The gameplay is fun and offers varied dynamics and replayability, especially when focusing on its core mechanics, but is currently hindered by bugs, crashes, lack of controller support, and missing key features like settings and server management.

Overall, the potential is praised, but the execution needs further development.

- “Despite the menu issue with mouse & keyboard selection and servers, this game is a lot of fun and offers some great gameplay.”
- “Buggy as hell, controls are a mess, and gameplay is shoddy at best.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent crashes, freezes, long load times, and buggy controls, especially in menus and servers. While recent updates have addressed some glitches, many users still experience unreliable gameplay and server problems, though the core movement mechanics remain smooth. Overall, stability is a major concern but shows potential for improvement with ongoing patches.
- “This game takes hours to load, and when it does it just freezes.”
- “It has poor keyboard controls, it crashes and freezes, it runs poorly, there are no dedicated servers and most hosted games don't even work to begin with, and that's for people who even manage to get the game started!”
- “Many of the reviews were negative because (and I totally agree) it was really buggy and there were very few servers available.”

The game suffers from poor optimization, particularly on PC, with limited resolution options, misspelled settings labels, and overall performance issues. Controller-focused controls feel awkward for PC users, and the game currently struggles with bugs and usability problems, making it difficult to recommend in its present state.
- “The game has possibly the worst options menu I have seen for a while; the developers can't even spell 'performance' (they spelt 'perfermance'). The options you have are resolution (only 6 options), performance (high, medium, low), and screen mode (full screen or windowed).”
- “Now, the real reason I can't recommend the game comes from the fact it is terrifyingly unoptimized.”
- “So many performance issues.”
