The game is widely criticized for its numerous bugs and glitches, which significantly impact gameplay and stability.

- “The game is a buggy mess that won't even start up or enter a match without glitching and bugging.”
- “Worst part is when you ride into a town and jump off the horse and somehow it keeps going and glitches inside a wall or onto a roof or between market stalls and refuses to move or simply can't because it's halfway inside a building, and you are forced to quit as it becomes impossible moving in the map.”
- “While the game is a ton of fun it lacks a lot of polish and glitches are pretty rampant in addition to the fact that the game is already dead and nobody is playing it so you can't get into a game.”

- “I love this game; the gameplay is fun as hell, the optimization is fine, and I haven't had any lag while playing.”

- “Not only that, I encountered several performance issues, which ranged from innocent short stutters to the game freezing for 10 seconds.”

monetization

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing it as a cash grab that lacks ongoing support and advertising, leading to a dwindling player base. Others suggest that making the game free-to-play with optional microtransactions for cosmetic items could enhance its popularity and longevity. Overall, while the game's concept is praised, its monetization approach is seen as a barrier to wider engagement.
- “This is really what the game industry needs. The idea and simplicity make this game better than some AAA titles. I don't think it needs updates or anything—maybe just fix some bugs. No leaderboards, skins, or microtransactions; that's a perfect game for me!”
- “The developer basically used it as a quick cash grab and then said they weren't going to support it anymore after taking everyone's money.”
- “My problem is that they didn't add any other way than external advertising to keep the game alive; it's dead and it makes me sad because I can't play it anymore since there is literally no one else on the map.”
- “The game is good and the idea is really original and great, but the fact that it is not free makes it so a lot of people don't feel like giving it a shot, and so the servers are always empty. You feel like the game is not as fun as in the ads... If the developers could make it free to play with some microtransactions (buying skins, camo, weapons, etc.), they would see some great benefits from it.”
