- “The gameplay is fun and kept me engaged for hours.”
- “Already refunded and maybe will check it out again when it's more polished but so far the gameplay isn't that good.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, and a problematic UI. Performance is limited to 40-50 FPS, hit registration is inconsistent, and server instability leads to constant ping spikes. Overall, the game feels unfinished and unpolished despite its lengthy development and price.
- “Game is very buggy and glitchy.”
- “Game is locked at 40-50 fps, very buggy UI and hit registration, servers don't work well with constant ping spikes. It's disappointing to see the state this game is in after years of development; it's just not ready, especially at $17.”
- “Obviously, it's going to be buggy since it's day 1, but give it time.”
