“Graphics 5/5”
“I love the graphics style and the gameplay is pretty challenging too.”
“Keep in mind I think it's only one developer, but don't let that discourage you; this is not one of those half-assed early access nightmares. The graphics in RWS 2.0 in the forest map are very impressive.”
“The environment graphics are very fuzzy; even playing with settings, I can't get them looking normal.”
“Utter garbage, unbalanced graphics, some things load for absurdly long times, prone to crashing.”
“Developer indicates the minimum requirement as 'shader model 3.0 graphic card' and 2GB of RAM, but it does not even get to the main menu in a 4.1 graphic card (GT240M) and 4GB RAM.”

The game's stability has received largely negative feedback, with users reporting numerous bugs, graphical glitches, and AI issues that hinder gameplay. While some players noted a smooth experience with consistent frame rates, many others experienced crashes and significant performance problems, leading to disappointment and requests for refunds. Overall, the game is considered unoptimized and incomplete, requiring further development to address these stability concerns.
“I know it's not perfect, but it has a lot going for it. There are no glitches, and it plays nice and smooth with a very consistent frame rate and no drops.”
“The game runs incredibly stable, providing a seamless experience without any noticeable lag or interruptions.”
“I've experienced zero crashes since I started playing, which really enhances the overall enjoyment of the game.”
“This game by far is more buggy than the Disney movie Ant.”
“What is even worse about this is that the boss glitches through all placed objects (minus buildings), so if you try to hide behind a tree, it just passes through it and hits you anyways.”
“Disappointment is all I could say about this download, I would be grateful for a refund, this entire game doesn't even work, it's buggy and crashes instantly.”

“That is because what it lacks in overall progression it makes up for in casual gameplay.”
“Fairly simple gameplay, but has a lot of potential with future updates that are sure to come!”

“Poorly optimized, I struggled to get 60fps on mid-high settings with a GTX 1080.”

“Now I will only complain about the game's performance.”
