    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by fluid mechanics and level design inspired by classic titles like Call of Duty 4, offering a satisfying movement experience for speedrun enthusiasts. However, players note a lack of tutorials and an unpolished feel, which can hinder the learning curve and overall enjoyment. While the mechanics are praised for their depth and challenge, some find the momentum mechanics frustrating, detracting from the sense of accomplishment.

    • “Inspired by COD4 movement, the fluid mechanics and level design are top-notch.”
    • “Overall the game is great, the mechanics are so solid and it shows how well these classic mechanics stand up to today's modernized gameplay.”
    • “The movement is outstanding and the weapon mechanics are very satisfying.”
    • “I will say that I am not a huge fan of the momentum mechanics, especially in the jumper packs as they require a lot of specific inputs and concentration.”
    • “The game's mechanics fight against you, which really gets you out of the flow and overall ruins the experience.”
    • “There is no tutorial to help you with the mechanics, which is annoying because you have to learn by yourself.”
  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is highlighted as a strong point, particularly due to the challenge of achieving pro times and the enjoyment of refining skills. However, some players express a desire for additional content, such as multiplayer features and map packs, to enhance replay value further. While the game offers significant replay potential, it may be challenging for newcomers to fully appreciate.

    • “10/10 replayability and 10/10 movement, but probably a bit hard to pick up for new players.”
    • “For the most part getting all the 3-star times is pretty easy, but many of the pro times are legitimately difficult to beat and are the greatest source of replayability that the game has.”
    • “What makes this game so special is the replay value, playing the same level over and over trying to shave off milliseconds is pure gold.”
    • “This game is good and all, but I really just want the multiplayer part back; it worked so well and honestly had a lot more replayability than this game.”
    • “Overall, very worth $5; I just hope they add in more map packs or workshop support to increase the replayability.”
    • “What makes this game so special is the replay value; playing the same level over and over, trying to shave off milliseconds, is pure gold.”
  • music

Overall, the music contributes positively to the game's atmosphere.

    • “A surprisingly fun parkour FPS with a great soundtrack and style.”
    • “The soundtrack is just alright.”
    • “The menu music alone is worth the purchase.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is highly criticized, with many users reporting poor performance even on high-end PCs and issues with resolution settings. However, a few players note that the performance is solid, suggesting a smoother experience due to minimal on-screen rendering. Overall, the consensus leans towards dissatisfaction with optimization.

    • “The performance is solid as expected; there isn't tons to render on screen here, so expect to have a pretty smooth experience.”
    • “The game is very badly optimized and runs like shit even on a high-end PC.”
    • “I do not recommend buying it: optimization and performance have not been addressed, and you cannot set the resolution below your monitor's native setting (as in Battalion Legacy).”
    • “I do not recommend buying it: optimization and performance have not been addressed, and you cannot set the resolution below your monitor's native setting (as in Battalion Legacy).”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are impressively solid, with well-composed visuals that elevate the experience beyond mere greybox aesthetics. While the absence of certain graphical options, like shadow and LOD quality adjustments, is a minor drawback, it is outweighed by the game's extensive gameplay and control features.

    • “The visuals in the game are surprisingly good for just using greyboxes; each level's general composition really is good, nice looking, and doesn't feel at all much like a blockout level.”
    • “Graphics - solid.”
    • “One small disappointing note is that the game does lack some small graphical options which would be nice to have, such as the ability to change the shadow quality and possibly the LOD quality; however, these are only minor and are made up for by the large amount of gameplay and control options.”
    • “One small disappointing note is that the game lacks some graphical options, such as the ability to change the shadow quality and possibly the LOD quality. However, these are only minor issues and are made up for by the large amount of gameplay and control options.”
  • story

    • “There is no real narrative to follow, making the experience feel hollow.”
    • “The plot twists are predictable and the character development is minimal.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express dissatisfaction with the monetization model, noting the lack of options to toggle ads or purchase a sprint feature, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “There is no option to toggle ads or sprint, which is the only reason I find it mediocre.”
    • “The monetization model feels overly aggressive and detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “I feel pressured to spend money to enjoy the game fully, which ruins the fun.”
  • emotional
