Conversely, others praise the game for its lack of issues and enjoyable experience, suggesting that stability may vary widely among users.

“In fact, most of the time when a player or soldier dies, their model freezes. Normally, the model spasms don't occur, and so they freeze to the ground. Since they cannot be walked through like in most games, you just have to deal with a temporary hump in the ground that slows down your movement.”
“Smells like another bad mobile port. The game is buggy, controls are kind of awkward, especially when changing weapons, aiming feels awkward, and the maps are boring. The name of the game is weird. 1/10.”
