Users report stability issues, including buggy controls that complicate gameplay, particularly with gesture-based shooting mechanics. Additionally, there are glitches and concerns about high data usage while playing, especially on mobile networks. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, these stability problems detract from the experience.
“The controls are kind of buggy. It's not easy to control those 'U' gestures you have to draw to shoot. They could've just added a button to shoot; it's that easy. No need to give players inconveniences.”
“I am at 800 trophies and still playing with bots. It's a great game, but there are some glitches, and it drains a lot of data when using 4G.”
