  • story862 mentions

    The story in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players describing it as generic, poorly executed, and filled with awkward voice acting. While some appreciate the basic premise and find humor in its shortcomings, the overall narrative is often seen as a distraction from the core gameplay, which focuses on looting and tower defense mechanics. Additionally, the story is criticized for being incomplete, with players noting that it abruptly stops and leaves many plot points unresolved, contributing to a sense of frustration and disconnection from the game's world.

    • “As you progress, you'll need to research components, and much of that research is tied to the story.”
    • “The story and voice acting is comical but there is still a sense of purpose to it, gamers are picky but its their own fault if they deny themselves this experience especially at its good price point.”
    • “The core gameplay loop is solid, the mechanical complexity and depth of its systems are satisfying, and the minute to minute of missions is varied and interesting.”
    • “The story and voice acting are hilariously bad, and the systems are numerous but unexplained.”
    • “The story is so unbelievably mediocre it makes my eyes water, I'm hoping they can provide better lines to their voice actors and have a director give the voice actors some emotional direction.”
    • “The story feels forced and like it was added last minute.”
  • gameplay603 mentions

    The gameplay of this title is characterized by a complex and addictive loop that combines elements of looter shooters, base building, and tower defense mechanics. While many players appreciate the depth and variety of mechanics available, they also note that the initial hours can feel grindy and repetitive, with a slow progression that may deter some. Despite its rough edges, including poor tutorial explanations and technical issues, the core gameplay experience is generally seen as enjoyable and rewarding, especially as players unlock more features and refine their strategies.

    • “The gameplay loop is immensely fun as you complete tours.”
    • “It has its quirks, but if you can look past them, I believe you'll find the gameplay loop incredibly satisfying and addictive!”
    • “The core gameplay loop is solid, the mechanical complexity and depth of its systems are satisfying, and the minute-to-minute missions are varied and interesting.”
    • “It's just unfortunate that it takes over 30 hours of gameplay to start getting there.”
    • “The gameplay loop is a repetitive, mindless grind.”
    • “The advertised gameplay of 'defending your outpost' is just a small slice of a larger gameplay loop that is duller than the edge of a spoon.”
  • optimization254 mentions

    The game's optimization has received widespread criticism, with many players reporting severe performance issues, including low frame rates, stuttering, and crashes, particularly during intense gameplay moments. While some users have managed to achieve stable performance through adjustments, the lack of graphical options and persistent bugs indicate that significant improvements are still needed. However, developers are actively releasing patches aimed at enhancing optimization, suggesting potential for future improvements.

    • “That said, it does need a little more optimization, but it's not unplayable by any means, and updates are still rolling out by the devs, so I'm sure that it will only run better and get better with time.”
    • “The game has gotten consistent balance and performance patches since launch and only gets better and smoother as time goes on.”
    • “With a few more optimization updates, it will be a game I'd certainly recommend for both single and co-op play with friends.”
    • “Game is severely not optimized.”
    • “A game heavily focused on high-risk runs with no saving mechanics but poorly optimized and plagued with countless bugs that result in crashing which can cause hours of progress to be completely lost.”
    • “The optimization is horrid, I get about 15 fps during big holds and my base isn't that big and the hoards aren't big, so I can definitely see the mass amounts of end game fun will bring your computer to its knees.”
  • graphics243 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the appealing art style and decent visuals, particularly on high settings, while others criticize the overall quality, citing graphical glitches, poor optimization, and a lack of customization options. Many users report performance issues, especially on lower-end systems, leading to a frustrating experience despite the game's potential for stunning visuals. Overall, while some aspects of the graphics are appreciated, significant improvements and optimizations are needed to meet player expectations.

    • “This game has ridiculous amounts of stuff happening all at once, and even still they found a way to optimize it so I can play it at 90-110 fps with graphics set to high with my RX 6750 XT GPU coupled with Ryzen 5 5600X CPU.”
    • “The graphics are overall awesome, the gameplay is captivating and fun, and the music is decent.”
    • “The graphics look amazing even on medium quality.”
    • “The graphics are horrendous and I don't mean just bad.”
    • “The game looks like it came from the PS2.”
    • “The graphics leave a lot to be desired.”
  • grinding209 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is a significant point of contention among players, with many describing it as both extensive and tedious, particularly in the mid to late game where resource gathering becomes essential for progression. While some players find the grind rewarding and enjoyable, especially when building and upgrading their bases, others feel it detracts from the overall experience, leading to monotony and frustration. Overall, the game is characterized by a heavy emphasis on grinding, which may appeal to fans of the genre but could deter those seeking a more streamlined experience.

    • “Game is super addicting and fun, not without its jank though. The devs have been very responsive and cranking out patches super fast addressing community issues. Shows a ton of promise, already had massive improvements since its janky launch, less crashing, better performance, and looting isn't as grindy as it was. Coop is worth playing now since basically all loot obtained by the host is now duplicated for the coop players too.”
    • “It's not too grindy for me, but I can see how it could be considered it.”
    • “My game is now effectively stalled unless I spend hours farming older missions for armor/gun parts so I can re-attempt the current mission.”
    • “The difficulty spike between levels requires you to grind for resources between story missions in order to upgrade your base enough to withstand the horde, and that grind is so tedious thanks to the rarity of essential resources, absurd crafting costs, and a vanishingly small number of maps which aren't even procedurally generated for any variety.”
    • “The game is grindy, boring, and uninteresting.”
  • stability79 mentions

    The game's stability is widely criticized, with numerous reports of bugs, glitches, and crashes affecting gameplay. Many players describe it as an unfinished product, often likening it to an early access title, despite the developers' ongoing efforts to release patches and improvements. While some users find the game enjoyable despite its issues, the overall consensus is that it requires significant polishing to reach its full potential.

    • “Very happy with the game, and it runs great!”
    • “It will still take some time until it's bug-free, but it's a good and solid game with good gameplay.”
    • “I have an Intel Core i7-9700F @ 3.00GHz and 16GB RAM, so my system isn't the best. I've had this PC for about 6 years now, but still, the game runs great!”
    • “The game is unique and can be fun, yes, but it is ultimately an unfinished, buggy game sold as a full release.”
    • “This game is a buggy mess; I lost my most valuable equipment because my weapon just disappeared. I can't be bothered; it's so boring.”
    • “The game is very buggy and poorly put together, combined with crashes and poor voice acting, leading to a lack of immersion.”
  • humor46 mentions

    The humor in the game is largely derived from its numerous bugs and janky mechanics, which players find amusing rather than frustrating. Many reviews highlight the hilariously bad voice acting and absurd character designs, contributing to a comedic experience reminiscent of B-movies. Overall, while the game has its flaws, players appreciate the unintentional humor that arises from its quirks and chaotic gameplay.

    • “Some of the little details are hilarious (like the story character literally having a plot armor ability) and I hope the developers keep working on it.”
    • “Playing with friends can be extremely enjoyable, and many people find humor in the game's bugs, like getting stuck in a small room with a door that has over 9000 HP.”
    • “The voice acting is hilariously bad at times, at least for the English voice actors.”
  • music24 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the epic battle tracks that enhance the gameplay experience, while others find it generic and forgettable. The sound design is generally praised, though the volume balance between music and voice acting is criticized, often drowning out important dialogue. Overall, while the soundtrack has its moments, it lacks the uniqueness and emotional depth that could elevate the game's narrative.

    • “The story, well to be honest I skipped every cut scene after seeing reviews on the bad voice acting and lackluster story, so the most I can say is the soundtrack on your story missions is top notch.”
    • “On the upside, the music is very well done, and although it is a bit too 'epic' for my taste, it is still very good.”
    • “You give the player some really epic battle music to inspire them and motivate.”
    • “I do not understand why the elevator music is literally more atmospheric than the end-of-the-world character-building cinematics.”
    • “The sound and music is just obnoxious.”
    • “The ambiance music and overall feel of the main base feels... weird... the audio is just too quiet at times, as if you are in an area completely devoid of sound.”
  • monetization18 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game has drawn mixed reactions, with some players viewing it as a cash grab due to the presence of DLC and additional paid content, while others appreciate the absence of microtransactions, emphasizing that all in-game items must be earned through gameplay. Despite the game's promising advertising, many feel it doesn't fully deliver on its potential, leading to disappointment regarding the value of paid content. Overall, while the lack of microtransactions is praised, concerns about the monetization strategy and the quality of additional content persist.

    • “It may 'look' like a gacha game from the Genshin era, but there are no real-world microtransactions whatsoever; everything must be fought for with the grind.”
    • “Also, a huge win: no in-game microtransactions!”
    • “There's a monetary system and shops in place (in-game stuff, not microtransactions or anything), and your character has a modular weapon that you can change however you see fit with parts you find or buy.”
    • “The idea of it is either a cash grab or they really didn't think this through.”
    • “From one perspective, I see this as another sell-out cash grab.”
    • “Secondly, the DLC is a blatant cash grab since you don't get to use any of it until you're hours or days into the slow grind of the game.”
  • replayability9 mentions

    The game offers significant replayability, with a strong emphasis on base crafting and tower defense mechanics that keep players engaged. While some users note that additional maps and variety could enhance this aspect further, the diverse skills of different operatives and ongoing developer support contribute to a continually improving experience. Overall, players find enough content and enjoyment to justify multiple playthroughs.

    • “A lot of replay value and a great concept.”
    • “Different operatives have different skills, which makes for great replayability and fun even when farming levels you already completed for more materials.”
    • “Tons of replayability.”
    • “Nevermind some of the frustrations, this game has a ton of replay value on its repetitive loop.”
    • “If you're still hesitant on buying, you can wait if you really want to, but the game is definitely in a way more playable state than it was at launch.”
    • “The game is getting better and better and more playable.”
  • atmosphere6 mentions

    • “I think the atmosphere is quite nice but it lacks a certain fine-tuning touch.”
    • “I have all the settings at max and I see the problem as proper dynamic lighting and atmosphere; the trailer has it, the game does in limited amounts for now and this is why I think it looks sterile.”
    • “The voice acting (4/10) is a little off-putting at times, and the emotions and intonations tend to not fit the atmosphere and soundtrack in the majority of scenes.”
    • “I have all the settings at max, and I see the problem as proper dynamic lighting and atmosphere. The trailer has it, but the game only has it in limited amounts for now, which is why I think it looks sterile.”
    • “A handful of lines sound okay, but for the most part, they are absolutely jarring, lacking the correct inflection for most of the dialogue and ruining the atmosphere.”
  • emotional3 mentions

    The emotional impact of the game is significantly diminished due to poorly executed visuals, uninspired storytelling, and lackluster voice acting, leading to a generally boring experience that fails to engage players on an emotional level.
