Optimization is currently lacking, causing issues like lag, stuttering, and blurry visuals, especially on certain monitor types. However, developer responsiveness and ongoing support show potential for improvement in future updates. Many users are hopeful but waiting for fixes to enhance playability and performance.
- “It needs a little optimization, and it looked weird on my PC, a little blurry. I tried adjusting various visual settings but the blurriness remained.”
- “Definitely needs optimization, but the core is solid and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
- “Apr/23/26 I'm impressed the developer responded. Usually there is silence. I have a Samsung super wide curved monitor, resolution 3840x1080. I’ll wait a few and give it another shot. It clicked that the issue might be with the type of monitor. This is the second time I’ve had this issue with a game not optimized for this type of monitor; Quanga was the first.”
- “After getting a reply on my first negative review about choppiness, they helped me pinpoint the problem. It is definitely full texture size causing laggy, choppy, or stuttering issues. Make sure to change this, folks!”

The gameplay is generally fun and offers a variety of play styles, with multiplayer still in development. While the combat mechanics and movement show potential, some players feel the game lacks full refinement in these areas. Overall, it holds promise if further polished and expanded.
- “Gameplay is very fun; choices of play style are abundant.”
- “For one, the multiplayer aspect isn't ready yet, but the gameplay is much more fun and enjoyable than Day Z.”
- “I haven't gotten very deep into the mechanics or building, so it does have some potential if thoroughly maintained.”
- “In terms of gameplay, the game could be good, but I think it doesn't have the setup for this kind of gameplay style with advanced combat movement when fighting.”
- “I haven't gotten very deep into the mechanics or building, so it does have some potential if thoroughly upheld.”

The game suffers from frequent bugs, glitches, and freezing issues that significantly disrupt gameplay and reduce overall enjoyment. Stability remains a major concern until further updates address these problems.
- “It's buggy, keeps freezing for anything even after tweaking with the settings.”
- “A second review... sadly after playing, even without stuttering, there are many bugs and glitches that render the play unenjoyable. I'll be back once I've seen some TLC!”
