  • Some players find the game enjoyable and reminiscent of classic arcade shooters, appreciating the weighty feel of the mechs and guns.
  • The game is plagued by bugs, crashes, and performance issues, making it frustrating and often unplayable, especially on lower-end PCs.
  • The visuals are low quality and the level design feels repetitive and soulless due to reliance on procedural generation.

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The gameplay has been criticized for being boring and grindy, lacking meaningful levels and narrative progression, while also suffering from unreliable mechanics and poorly explained upgrades. Despite offering a variety of weapons and fast-paced action, players find the experience frustrating due to issues like awkward perk selection and ineffective dodging mechanics. Overall, the gameplay feels half-finished and fails to deliver a satisfying experience.

    • “Plenty of variety for weapons, fast-paced gameplay, enemies drop boosts, a good progression system for unlocks, and it's free.”
    • “Very polished mechanic that makes fighting fun (I wish you could auto-shoot if you hold though) it gets tiring to keep pressing.”
    • “The gameplay is boring and extremely grindy.”
    • “Gameplay seems half-finished with missing weapon stats and poorly explained upgrades.”
    • “Even when enemies spawn normally, there's no point in trying to dodge them because they're marginally faster than you and the dash mechanic will throw you in the wrong direction a good portion of the time.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The graphics are characterized by low-quality, low-poly 3D visuals, which may deter many gamers seeking higher fidelity. While some players acknowledge the visuals as acceptable given the game's free-to-play model, the overall impression is that the graphics fall short of modern gaming standards, especially on lower-end hardware.

    • “In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D graphics which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably.”
    • “Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers.”
    • “Even though I played this on a low-end PC that got at most 15 fps on the lowest graphics.”

  • optimization

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The game shows great potential and offers an enjoyable experience, but it suffers from significant optimization issues, including below-average framerates and performance problems caused by excessive graphical elements. While it can be completed quickly with minimal resources, players are hopeful for future updates to improve its performance.

    • “The game can be beaten in a couple of hours of play using only what you start with and could use a bit of optimization, but it is an amazing game with a great concept, so even if you don't get it now, it should definitely be on your watch list.”
    • “Fun, has potential, but extremely poorly optimized.”
    • “Below average framerate due to performance-hogging grass that even grows on the road.”
    • “Really looking forward to more upgrades and general optimization of the game.”

  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unenjoyable, with many describing the gameplay as boring and excessively grindy. The overall sentiment suggests that only those with a high tolerance for repetitive tasks might find any satisfaction in pursuing achievements in its current state.

    • “The gameplay is boring and extremely grindy.”
    • “The current state of the game is unplayable, unless you are a masochist who loves painfully grinding achievements in a half-baked game.”

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs affecting gameplay, such as collision problems and enemies spawning in unreachable areas, which can abruptly end a player's run. Interestingly, players find that empty maps, devoid of buildings, provide a more enjoyable experience despite these flaws.

    • “The game is incredibly buggy.”
    • “Surprisingly, empty maps with no buildings are the most enjoyable, mostly due to buggy collision and enemies spawning in inaccessible locations, which completely ends the run.”
