  • gameplay
    58 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally described as repetitive and lacking polish, with clumsy mechanics and long loading times. While some players find it engaging in short bursts, particularly due to its language-learning elements, many criticize it for being a mediocre shooter with little variety and a simplistic gameplay loop. Overall, it offers a fun experience for a few hours but ultimately falls short of expectations, especially for a game centered on language acquisition.

    • “The gameplay itself is fun; you essentially go around a big map and kill robots, solving obstacle courses and answering questions based on colors, items, directions, etc., to unlock new guns and get more health/ammo.”
    • “The gameplay is fluid and enjoyable enough to keep you hooked for a few hours.”
    • “For a game focused on teaching you things and learning things, the gameplay is surprisingly fun and challenging.”
    • “The gameplay is nothing special, and quite frankly not very polished.”
    • “By many metrics, it's a terrible shooter, and the gameplay I'd describe as playable at best.”
    • “The gameplay and animations are clumsy.”
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “With room to improve in the graphics, they still look great!”
    • “Graphics are not fancy or anything special but it's good.”
    • “The simple and easy appearance of the game graphic designs and user interface designs overlaps with the usual game designs.”

  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a desire for a more engaging story in the game, suggesting the addition of fetch missions and location-based quests to enhance narrative depth. Many reviewers would appreciate a dedicated story mode or campaign DLC that incorporates dialogue and complex instructions, as the current gameplay lacks a strong overarching storyline. Overall, the focus remains on gameplay mechanics rather than a compelling narrative experience.

    • “I would like to see a story of some sort, even if it's just in text.”
    • “Also, I'd gladly buy a super short campaign DLC that requires the understanding the base game teaches you to have a super short story.”
    • “I would like to see a story of some sort even if it's just in text.”
    • “I would like to see a story mode integrated or something with more dialogue.”
    • “So gameplay-wise, this game is about what you could expect; the focus is definitely not going to be on fast-paced gameplay or some overarching storyline.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed feedback, with users reporting random lag spikes and significant loading times, leading to an overall performance rating of around 4/10. While some players still find the experience enjoyable, the technical issues detract from the intended learning experience.

    • “Performance is alright, some random lag spikes, but overall a great experience.”
    • “Performance: 4/10 (big loading times)”
    • “If I was playing a normal FPS game, sure I'd put effort into it (and the game would be much more optimized for it), but here, I'm here to learn a language, not to struggle against robots.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been reported to have stability issues, particularly with bugs affecting frame rates and enemy spawning, leading to infinite enemy spawns without despawning. Overall, players find the experience can be inconsistent and prone to glitches.

    • “The game is very buggy when it comes to the FPS aspect, as enemies infinitely spawn with no despawn.”
    • “Can be a little buggy at times.”
  • music

    • “The music is greatly satisfying.”
    • “I love the soundtrack!”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be disheartening and tedious, as it often requires repetitive tasks, such as re-acquiring keys, which can detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “Instead, you have to redo so much (including getting the key again) that it becomes disheartening and tedious.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers significant replayability through its impressive variety of well-voiced languages, which enhances the repetitive nature essential for effective language learning. This feature encourages players to revisit content for improved mastery and engagement.
