  • The game is easy to pick up and play, making it accessible for casual gamers.
  • Playing with friends can lead to hilarious moments, enhancing the overall experience.
  • The game suffers from a lack of players, making it difficult to find online matches, and the bots are not challenging.
  • Performance issues and poor optimization lead to lag and frame rate problems, even on low settings.

  • humor
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is characterized as consistently ridiculous and hilarious, particularly when played for free with friends. Players find it to be a fantastic source of entertainment, especially in a multiplayer setting, with a comedic tone that enhances the wild west FPS experience.

    • “The game is ridiculous but for free with a group of friends is fantastic and reliably hilarious.”
    • “Funny wild west FPS.”
    • “Totally hilarious.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their quality and ability to capture the essence of its predecessor, "Fistful of Frags." However, players report significant optimization issues, including frequent frame rate drops regardless of the selected graphical settings.

    • “Great graphics, everything works well!”
    • “This game definitely captures the magic that Fistful of Frags produces, while improving graphics and gameplay.”
    • “This game is also terribly optimized with a ton of frame rate issues no matter what graphical options you choose.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, particularly in the native Linux version, which suffers from severe performance issues, including choppy gameplay and texture artifacts. However, running the game under Proton reportedly resolves these issues, leading to significantly improved performance and fewer texture problems. Overall, players experience persistent frame rate issues regardless of the graphical settings used.

    • “Running under Proton clears up all of the above issues, with performance being significantly better and no more texture issues.”
    • “This game is also terribly optimized, with a ton of frame rate issues no matter what graphical options you choose.”
    • “The native Linux version has severe performance issues, resulting in choppy gameplay, insignificant texture/artifact issues on other maps, and minor texture display problems when using the escape menu in-game.”
    • “This game is terribly optimized, with a ton of frame rate issues no matter what graphical options you choose.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is highly recommended, particularly for Windows and Proton users, as it effectively captures the charm of "Fistful of Frags" while enhancing graphics and mechanics. Players appreciate the clean game mechanics and fast pacing, although the native Linux port may not deliver the same experience.

    • “I definitely captures the magic that Fistful of Frags produces, while improving graphics and gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay-wise, I'd recommend this, and if you're running under Windows/Proton, I would, but not on the native Linux port.”
    • “It definitely captures the magic that Fistful of Frags produces, while improving graphics and gameplay.”
    • “The game mechanics are clean and the pacing is fast.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy includes a few inexpensive downloadable content (DLC) options, allowing players to enhance their experience without significant financial investment.

    • “In-game purchases are reasonably priced, with a couple of cheap DLC options available.”
    • “The monetization model is fair, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend.”
    • “I appreciate that the game offers optional purchases that enhance the experience without being necessary.”
    • “In-game purchases feel like a cash grab, with only a couple of cheap DLC options available.”
    • “The monetization strategy is frustrating, as it seems designed to squeeze more money out of players rather than enhance the experience.”
    • “I was disappointed by the heavy reliance on microtransactions, which detracted from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is considered low due to a lack of player engagement and the ineffectiveness of AI bots, which diminishes the overall experience.

    • “Replayability is low because nobody plays, and the bots are ridiculously dumb.”
    • “The game lacks replayability; once you've completed it, there's little incentive to return.”
    • “After finishing the main story, I found no reason to replay the game, as the content feels repetitive.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers criticize the game's story for lacking depth and engagement, attributing this to the developers' reliance on player-versus-player interactions instead of investing in single-player content, such as storytelling and NPCs. This decision has led to a perceived deficiency in the overall narrative experience.
