The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users highlighting both potential and significant flaws. While some praise the smooth mechanics, movement, and gunplay reminiscent of classic titles, others criticize the overall experience as basic, unresponsive, and frustrating due to issues like fixed camera angles and a lack of objectives. Overall, the game is seen as needing substantial improvement and polish to reach its potential.
- “This is a starting stage, so I think the developers will take it to the next level with more game modes, good graphics, a smooth gameplay experience, and much more.”
- “The mechanics are quite smooth, with no input delay. It's not raw just yet, but with feedback, we will get there.”
- “Ok, now the pros - easy to jump into a game and play (queue times are short if you region-hop, can basically get a match in a few seconds on EUW). The mechanics of gunplay remind me of a mix between Radical Heights and H1Z1. Plus, given the old H1 graphical aesthetic, I like how it feels. Being able to actually directional air jump is amazing and feels so nice. The movement is on point; I love how fast I can peek corners or how fluidly I can move around when being shot. The paths and parkour to gain high ground on someone or rush them all work really well.”
- “Terrible gameplay and needs a lot of work.”
- “At this state of the game, it's not at all good. I like the concept of the game, but I don't recommend this game to anyone because the gunplay is not at all responsive and the fixed camera angle is so frustrating. Overall, the gameplay is bad and I played 5 matches and I can't continue anymore because of how bad the gunplay is.”
- “Overall gameplay feels like a game from the year 2000.”

Overall, while there is potential for improvement, the current state of the graphics leaves much to be desired for a portion of the player base.

- “Art style is amazing as well.”
- “This game has some incredible potential, but so many bugs, and the graphics are utter shit.”
- “Graphically, even with everything maxed out, it isn't particularly anything special.”

- “It needs a lot of work before you start putting in the microtransactions and other free-to-play garbage.”
- “It just seems like a ported mobile shooter in my opinion; it's just bland and feels like another cash grab.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be frustrating, particularly due to the challenges posed by enemy snipers that hinder movement and make capping objectives feel nearly impossible. The constant threat from snipers, combined with reduced mobility, contributes to a tedious gameplay experience.
- “Capping is tedious to almost impossible, especially if the enemy team has a sniper whose shots register while your movement speed is further decreased.”
