Reviews
- The game has a unique and engaging atmosphere with impressive graphics and smooth locomotion, reminiscent of a cyberpunk world.
- The developers are actively supporting the game with regular updates and are working on strategies to build a player base.
- The gameplay mechanics are solid, with three distinct hero classes that offer varied playstyles and abilities.
- There is a significant lack of online players, making it difficult to find matches and often forcing players to rely on bots.
- The game currently has limited content, with only two maps and a few game modes, which can lead to repetitive gameplay.
- Some gameplay mechanics, such as character movement and bot AI, feel underdeveloped and could use improvement to enhance the overall experience.

The gameplay is generally praised for its solid mechanics and engaging atmosphere, making it a worthwhile experience for players. However, there are concerns regarding the multiplayer infrastructure and the need for robust single-player options, particularly in VR titles. Overall, the game is seen as a good investment, especially with developer support for the gaming community.
“So - nice game, good graphics, solid gameplay - well worth the price and well worth supporting the developers (especially as it is clear that the developers are supporting us as gamers).”
“This game will hold me over, I like the atmosphere and gameplay.”
“A note to all devs working on games with a strong multiplayer mechanic - the infrastructure is just not there (as you know) - not by a very long way.”
“There's no special locomotion mechanic.”

Users express a desire for a more developed story aspect, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive campaign mode that provides a clear backstory to the game world. They suggest that this mode should be simple yet engaging, alongside the inclusion of single-player and co-op options to enhance the narrative experience.
“A single player/co-op story mode would be great.”
“I think a campaign mode should be included, not just a half-done version, but something simple that also explains the backstory to the world we're fighting in.”
“The story feels incomplete and lacks depth, leaving players wanting more context about the world and characters.”
“I was disappointed by the lack of a coherent narrative; it felt like the story was just an afterthought.”
“The campaign mode is half-done and fails to provide a meaningful backstory to the game, making it hard to connect with the world.”
