  • The game closely recreates Ghost Recon Phantoms gameplay and mechanics, appealing strongly to fans of the original.
  • Developers are passionate and dedicated, actively improving the game with ongoing updates and effort despite limited resources.
  • The core gameplay is solid, balanced, and runs on modest hardware, making it accessible and fun for players who enjoy tactical shooters.
  • The current player base is very small, causing long matchmaking times and impacting multiplayer experience.
  • The game suffers from bugs, unstable servers, especially in regions outside EU, and a clunky UI that detracts from overall enjoyment.
  • Progression and onboarding are rough for new players, with weak starting gear and grindy unlock systems that may hurt retention.

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its solid mechanics, resource efficiency, and well-implemented interaction system with dynamic camera angles. However, some players find it unpolished and not worth the current price, resulting in mixed opinions about its overall enjoyment.

    • “The gameplay mechanics are very good and don’t require high resources.”
    • “The core gameplay already feels more solid than some recent shooters, and the interaction system with dynamic third-person camera changes is very well done.”
    • “Already refunded and maybe will check it out again when it's more polished, but so far the gameplay isn't that good.”
    • “This game is not worth $17; the gameplay can be fun but everything else sucks. Lower the price.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, and laggy servers causing ping spikes. Performance is inconsistent with frame rates locked between 40-50 fps, and problematic UI and hit registration further hinder the experience. Despite being a day-one release, many players feel the game is not yet ready for its price point.

    • “Game is very buggy and glitchy.”
    • “Game is locked at 40-50 fps, has a very buggy UI and hit registration, and 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.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The grinding aspect in the game is tied to armor and equipment progression, which may feel tedious and potentially impact new-player retention if not balanced properly.

    • “The progression system also seems planned for armor and equipment, which may feel grindy and could hurt new-player retention if not handled carefully.”

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users suggest that monetization would be well-received if it remains fair, particularly through cosmetic items, while developers prioritize new-player experience and bug fixes.

    • “If the developers focus on new-player experience, bug fixes, and fair cosmetic monetization, this could become something really solid.”

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is notably poor, with janky performance reminiscent of pre-2010 titles. Additionally, the score-based reward system creates a steep barrier for new players to level up and unlock weapons.
