The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their stunning quality, often compared to console-level visuals, especially for a mobile game. However, many users have reported issues with optimization, such as lag and the inability to adjust settings effectively, leading to frustration among players with lower-end devices. Overall, while the graphics are a highlight, there are significant calls for improvements in performance and customization options.
“The graphics are absolutely amazing.”
“Graphics are phenomenal, attention to detail & realism is great.”
“The graphics are incredible for a mobile game and it is pretty realistic.”
“I would like to give the game 5 stars but I only gave it 3 because of the bad graphics. The only option available to me is the standard graphic, and I can't make it higher because I have no other options, which gives me a terrible experience with the graphics. Plus, the ping is always red and high despite having a good connection. Please fix this very soon because the game is awesome, but I can't enjoy it with these problems.”
“The graphics will need to be improved in detail, shadowing, and all that good stuff.”
“The graphics are very, very bad.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its smooth mechanics, immersive graphics, and engaging survival elements reminiscent of "Escape from Tarkov." However, issues such as frequent crashes, lag, unbalanced matchmaking, and confusing mechanics have been highlighted as significant drawbacks. Overall, while the core gameplay is appreciated, there are calls for improvements in stability, controls, and additional features like first-person mode to enhance the experience.
“The game has some awesome quality of life and gameplay features that Nikita could take some notes from, and the grind feels balanced for now.”
“Gameplay is smooth, controls are good and customizable!”
“Overall, the gameplay is amazing.”
“The game is good and everything but it just freezes sometimes in the middle of a match which is really annoying. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't; it can really impact your gameplay, causing you to take damage from someone or just die. Please fix this.”
“Most boring shooter I have ever played. The tutorial sucks and explains nothing about the game. This game is almost 6 GB but is pretty much devoid of any actual gameplay for the first 5 levels, which takes about 30 minutes to achieve. You just loot and come back, organize, sell, repeat. Maybe fight some bots, but that's optional. I'm angry that I wasted my time downloading and playing this game.”
“The gameplay loops get old very quickly; loot, sell, craft, upgrade, repeat.”

The game's optimization has received widespread criticism, with many players reporting significant frame rate drops, lag, and crashes, particularly on lower-end devices. While some users have experienced smooth gameplay, the overall consensus is that the game requires substantial improvements to run effectively across a broader range of hardware. Many players express frustration over the lack of optimization updates, especially after recent patches that seem to have worsened performance.
“The game is good but needs more optimization.”

“Great game, great graphics, but bad optimization on PC; can you guys add first-person mode and leaning? Thanks.”
“Bad side that it's not optimized for not so powerful devices, and has huge FPS drops in PvP combat, and some maps are not even playable due to bad optimization.”
“Optimization is kinda bad and I keep having low framerate with a decently new phone.”
“Very bad optimization, every fight with real players lags badly.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and microtransactions, which they feel enhances the gameplay experience. However, there are concerns about potential future monetization strategies, including in-app purchases and battle passes, which some players fear could lead to a pay-to-win model. Overall, while the current state is seen as favorable, there is a strong desire among users for the developers to maintain this approach and avoid cash grabs that could detract from the game's integrity.
“It's free, there's no ads, and there aren't any microtransactions either.”
“Pretty cool especially because it's got no microtransactions and the gameplay is driven by actual progress.”
“Great game, new player friendly and not driven by in-app purchases.”
“Monetization is horrendous, clearly wants to weed out players that won't cough up money.”
“They are desperately looking to make a quick buck here with in-app purchases.”
“Escape from Tarkov ripoff, just a plain cash grab with energy and health refill costs.”

The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious and frustrating, with players expressing dissatisfaction over losing hard-earned gear and the lack of effective inventory management. Many reviews highlight the game's reliance on grinding for progression, which can feel overwhelming, especially with the added pressure of pay-to-win mechanics and frequent data wipes. While some players appreciate the challenge and addictive nature of the grind, the overall sentiment leans towards a need for refinement and balance to enhance the experience.
“However, the devs ruined what could be a great game by adding a respawn system, small tight maps with only a single faraway extract to encourage firefights, a super grindy experience (4.8 million cash to upgrade 1 item), only 3rd person view, poor optimization, and pay-to-win mechanics that give you high-tier gear early in the game.”
“The game became pay-to-win, and I say this because the best armors, guns, and bullets that used to be a challenge to get became so easy to acquire; all you had to do was buy them with actual money. You also buy the battle pass, play 1 or 2 matches, and then you'll already have the best guns and armor. The once fun, challenging game that I felt I could actually enjoy playing and grinding on became pay-to-win, and every match I play now is just with a bunch of pay-to-win players.”
“It's the burden of grinding with no PvE option and no real insurance is a punch in the gut.”

Despite these challenges, many users appreciate the game's potential and the amusing interactions it fosters.
“Top-tier global chat that opts for a word blacklist rather than moderation (similar to EVE Online), the results are absolutely hilarious.”
“It's funny that these guys are providing a game that cannot be played.”
“Bad latest update... funny gun name.”
“I do like making unfunny troll guns that wouldn't work.”

“The atmosphere made me feel like an operator; a solid 10/10.”

“The ranked music starts playing in the middle of a match and I can't close it, which has caused me to be killed many times.”

“Great graphics and lots of replay value.”
“Two words: add replayability.”
“The game lacks any real incentive to replay, making it feel like a one-and-done experience.”

Character development in the game has received mixed reviews, with players expressing frustration over the lack of character customization options, particularly the inability to choose a female character. Additionally, issues such as long loading times and unresponsive controls detract from the overall experience, leading some users to feel that the character progression system is undermined by gameplay mechanics.
“This is a new kind of survival plus customary character development. I play hard to grind, then I have tier 6 armor and tier 6 helm. In just 20 seconds of spawning in ranked, I got sniped and knocked down with just one shot. If tier 6 armor and helm can be knocked down that easily, then it's time to uninstall.”
“Let's start at the beginning. I can understand the long loading screen, but the character design is lacking. You can't pick a female character, and you can't see the character model. If you're in the section for typing your username, it will revert back to the character design and it will never end. The game has a delayed response; if you click something, it may not register or it will be late, and I have experienced crashes.”
