The gameplay of the game, inspired by the classic Trouble in Terrorist Town (TTT) mode, is generally praised for its engaging mechanics, smooth combat, and unique character designs that enhance player experience. While many players appreciate the nostalgic feel and chaotic fun it offers, some express concerns about server availability and bugs, suggesting that the game could benefit from more content and a modern engine. Overall, it is seen as a solid alternative to TTT with a vibrant community, though some players find it outdated and lacking in player base.
- “Now I have only played TTT for a few years (TT on Roblox and a few TTT servers from time to time) and despite being an ancient gamemode from 20 years ago that has sort of lost its relevancy in the last decade, I feel like this is an actual criminally underrated masterpiece of our time with such exhilarating and thoughtful gameplay that you won't get with any other gamemode. Long live TTT and Treason!”
- “The gameplay was engaging, the atmosphere was awesome, and you can tell the developers put a lot of effort into it.”
- “Get this game, it's a beautiful reliving of 2000's online gaming, and also a great game in its own right, with satisfying combat, a well-functioning gameplay framework, and an obviously passionate developer.”
- “Game is very laggy, graphics bad, gameplay boring.”
- “Game has CS 1.6 movement and shooting mechanics, uses old Valve servers and UI, it's very hard to find servers with players (it's a dead game) and just feels awful and outdated in general.”
- “This fucking guy abused kick mechanics to get me out of the server, fuck this game don't even bother playing it if you want to have fun.”
