  • gameplay
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is reminiscent of other extraction-style FPS games like Escape from Tarkov, featuring a mix of clunky mechanics and enjoyable elements, such as the ability to hire AI mercenaries. While some players find the gameplay fun and rewarding, they also note issues like AI behavior inconsistencies and control problems. Overall, the game offers a more accessible experience compared to Tarkov, though it still faces bugs and a lack of polish.

    • “An interesting mechanic is the ability to hire mercenaries, who are AI squad-mates that follow you around and follow your orders.”
    • “If you can overlook its current problems, the core gameplay is definitely fun and rewarding.”
    • “The graphics are quite beautiful, and the gameplay is smooth and straightforward: you jump in, grab your weapon, and head into battle.”
    • “Feels very clunky, the AI are just weird such as running directly away from you when you shoot at them and then they will swarm around the same piece of cover and return fire. The controls are clunky, such as I bound my inventory key to tab; however, pressing tab again doesn’t close it, you need to hit escape (which my game pad doesn’t have). The gameplay is pretty dull when compared to some other titles in the genre.”
    • “Seems like a lot of ripped mechanics and gameplay features from other popular extraction shooters.”
    • “Glitches when prone to AI behavior inconsistencies, and audio bugs like missing sounds during gameplay.”
  • story
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is currently limited, with players noting a lack of missions and meaningful loot, particularly in the PvE mode. While there are around 10 quests available, many are buggy and incomplete, leading to frustration with mission progression. However, players see potential for improvement as the game is in early access and have noted some positive progression in quality and features during testing.

    • “Its early access so there isn't a whole lot of missions yet but it has serious potential.”
    • “I've enjoyed it, despite the bugs and some of the missions not working yet, but importantly, I've seen progression in the game's quality and features throughout the testing phase.”
    • “I played the PvE mode, so I can't speak for the PvP side of things, but there is currently a lack of missions, there are way too many AI that swarm you if playing solo, and there is a lack of meaningful loot in the world to pick up.”
    • “There are around 10 quests as far as I could see, and there are many unfinished spots on the map.”
    • “It just needs quest progression fixed and another map released so it isn't as repetitive.”
  • graphics
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the crisp visuals and detail, particularly in weapon design and environments, thanks to Unreal Engine 5. However, others express disappointment, citing a disparity between advertised next-gen graphics and the final product, with some describing the graphics as lacking or even horrible. Overall, while there are visually appealing elements, the consistency and quality of the graphics seem to vary significantly among players.

    • “The game’s graphics are pretty decent looking with nice detail to weapons, visual effects, and the environment.”
    • “The graphics are quite beautiful, and the gameplay is smooth and straightforward: you jump in, grab your weapon, and head into battle.”
    • “Graphics are pretty good since it's Unreal Engine 5, and there are many visually appealing locations.”
    • “I spent $30.00 on this game and as soon as it started, the graphics were horrible.”
    • “The graphics are lacking.”
    • “Graphics are alright, I suppose.”
  • optimization
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many users noting significant room for improvement despite some positive performance aspects. While there have been impressive quality of life and bug fixes during the closed tests, players still find the game poorly optimized and lacking in content, particularly in terms of AI voice lines. Some users express hope for future enhancements, indicating a willingness to return once optimization issues are addressed.

    • “In the little while that I had access to the closed test, seeing the amount of quality of life improvements, performance improvements, and bug fixes that were pushed out was very impressive.”
    • “Just keep in mind it's 'early access' for a reason; this game is still pretty early on when it comes to the amount of content they have planned, like the 8 additional maps planned to be released by the end of 2025, all while still delivering the support that they gave the game in the closed tests (bug fixes, quality of life improvements, better performance).”
    • “However, praise must be given: the performance is really good, no crashes and no limitations - for me with my setup.”
    • “Poorly made, poorly optimized, poorly executed.”
    • “I refunded this round because it is a little better optimized but still not there for me.”
    • “I had a blast with the PvP, collection, extraction, etc. In my humble opinion, the game only lacks optimization.”
  • monetization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with players expressing frustration over the high prices of upgrade packages and a lack of meaningful updates or communication from the developers. Many users feel that the game prioritizes profit over player experience, labeling it a scam.

    • “Avoid this scam of a game - a shameless cash grab.”
    • “It is a cash grabbing scam!”
    • “I do think the packages for upgrading stash and secure containers are very pricey apart from the one they are only advertising on Steam.”
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's stability has improved since its pre-release, with many bugs and glitches being addressed. However, players still report ongoing issues, including AI behavior inconsistencies, audio bugs, and visual glitches, which detract from the experience. Despite these problems, many users express a willingness to return to the game, indicating that the gameplay remains enjoyable.

    • “Glitches when prone to AI behavior inconsistencies, and audio bugs like missing sounds during gameplay.”
    • “There are many visual glitches and the high fidelity that was depicted in the trailer is not what is available in the game.”
    • “Gameplay can be fun, it's a little bit buggy, but I will definitely come back to this.”

    The game is noted for its humor, making it an enjoyable experience for players seeking a lighter alternative to more complex titles like Tarkov. Reviewers recommend it for its comedic elements, enhancing the overall gameplay.

  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
