  • gameplay
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its fast-paced, fluid mechanics and engaging combat systems, combining elements of parkour, melee, and gunplay. However, players have noted issues with server lag, balance, and some underwhelming weapon mechanics, suggesting that while the core gameplay is enjoyable, it requires further polish and a larger player base to fully realize its potential. Overall, the game offers a unique blend of mechanics that can be fun, but also suffers from performance and control challenges.

    • “Great gameplay, really fun, needs more people and a little polish.”
    • “The gameplay is fun, super fluid movement, responsive, and satisfying to do things. It's very high-speed.”
    • “The mechanics of this game are nearly flawless; the melee combat is top-tier, and the freerunning is on par with the Uncharted series.”
    • “The gameplay seems like it was rushed in a short amount of time since the gameplay is extremely poor.”
    • “Performance is sluggish, controls are terrible, gameplay is slow and very boring, and targeting is terrible.”
    • “Dosen't look like the videos at all, the gameplay is just like playing run simulator, controlling your character is way harder than it looks and the aim is just horrible.”
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the visuals as decent for a free-to-play title, while others criticize them as outdated and poor, even at higher settings. Performance issues, such as low frame rates and freezing, are frequently mentioned, indicating that the game may struggle to run smoothly on various hardware configurations. Overall, while some find the graphics acceptable, many express disappointment with their quality and the user interface.

    • “Graphics 9/10”
    • “In terms of graphics, it's a nice looking game, but you can never get out of vsync.”
    • “Graphics are good; I have not seen anything that does not look presentable.”
    • “Very bad graphics and low fps, it's a waste of time.”
    • “The graphics are rather poor; the UI and UX are horrid.”
    • “Terrible hit registry, janky movement, average graphics even on ultra settings.”
  • optimization
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting significant frame rate issues and sluggish performance even on low settings, regardless of their hardware capabilities. Many users express frustration over the game's poor optimization, which detracts from the overall experience and makes it nearly unplayable. Overall, the consensus is that substantial improvements are needed to enhance performance and gameplay.

    • “However, I'm still leaving this as a thumbs down review until the game is actually optimized to play as well as it should be able to because I still get a lot of drops in frames.”
    • “There needs to be a lot more optimization into the hit registration as it is not always accurate.”
    • “Make it less pay-to-win, add in more game modes like TDM or free-for-all for the casual player, fix the optimization, and advertise it more.”
    • “I've played mobile games on emulators that were more optimized than this garbage game.”
    • “I can't deal with the frame rate of this game. I put everything on the lowest setting and it still runs very badly. If they fixed the frame rate, then I might be able to enjoy this game, but no, it's very poorly optimized.”
    • “Optimization is garbage.”
  • stability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent bugs, crashes, and random freezes that significantly hinder gameplay. Despite its interesting concept and fun mechanics, many players find it unplayable due to these persistent issues, which include problems with graphics settings and difficulties joining matches. Overall, the game appears to require substantial improvements in stability to enhance the user experience.

    • “It's seems like a good game with an interesting concept, and fun gameplay, but it's very new just like last month and it's laggy, buggy, and glitchy.”
    • “I'm sad because I have some problems with the graphics. Even when I was playing games that were above my PC's power level, I was able to play them because I changed the graphics settings a little bit. But this game, even when I put graphics on minimalist, still freezes after 3 or 5 seconds, and then I can play again, and then it freezes again.”
    • “Crashes, random freezes, and sometimes not allowing you to join a match for no reason until you restart the game.”
  • monetization
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized for its reliance on gacha mechanics and pay-to-win elements available from launch, which detracts from the overall experience. Players feel that the free-to-play model is poorly executed, with excessive microtransactions and a lack of transparency in advertising. Overall, the monetization approach has contributed to negative first impressions and a dwindling player base.

    • “Conclusion: there's room for improvement in both aspects of the game itself and its monetization, but Rockshot is still totally rad.”
    • “Gameforge did it extremely badly, putting gacha and pay-to-win weapons in the store right on launch day (have at least some respect...), and not advertising the game well (they never stated it's a 'spiritual successor'), which completely ruined the first impressions of the game.”
    • “It's pretty trash, terrible animation and tons of microtransactions.”
    • “Also, the monetization is... well, it's bad.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth, as developers relied too heavily on player-versus-player interactions instead of incorporating rich single-player content, such as storytelling and NPCs. Players find the mission-finding process tedious and the overall narrative experience lacking, making it more suitable for casual gamers rather than those seeking a robust storyline.

    • “The developers made the fatal, lazy mistake of believing that PvP, other players, would be an acceptable substitute for doing the difficult job of adding single-player level design, storytelling, NPCs, and other rich aspects of designed game content to the game.”
    • “Once you have your fortress, currency is at your disposal to upgrade and expand, as well as plot defenses.”
    • “Took forever to find a mission, load, and there were only 3 other people.”
    • “At the moment, I would recommend this to only those who take gaming lightly and love to play, but the chat being blocked for some people because they need an anger outlet is another story. People always need to let out their anger, even if it is taunting or making someone mad; that's part of the game and origin, even if you didn't intend it.”
    • “Earning in-game credits is pretty generous once you join a team, as you earn currency periodically as well as through daily missions, making it fairly easy to purchase your first fortress.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed feedback, with some players finding it irritating and detrimental to their content creation efforts, while others feel it lacks quality and fails to enhance the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, some players appreciate the game's potential, particularly in other gameplay aspects.

    • “The old song and dance of TDM and FFA are still there as filler, but the raids are where it's at.”
    • “I am enjoying the game a lot, but your in-game music got my video claimed as soon as it went up. I worked really hard on it; I won't make anything from it either way. I don't have a big following; it's just kind of irritating.”
    • “The melee combat is on point, but the shooting just seemed extremely off, and the music is awful. I can see potential in the game, but not at this stage.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's grinding mechanics, highlighting the effective farming methods that allow for continuous resource gathering without the pressure of limited-time items. This design choice contributes to the game's longevity and player engagement.

    • “The game is still on its feet because of its farming methods, with no limited-time items and the ability to farm for them constantly.”
    • “Grinding feels more like a chore than an enjoyable part of the game.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game to be exceptionally funny, highlighting its strong comedic elements.

    • “This game is so funny!”
    • “The humor in this game is absolutely top-notch.”
    • “I couldn't stop laughing at the witty dialogue and hilarious situations.”
