The gameplay is straightforward and reminiscent of a mini version of Unreal Tournament 2004, focusing on capturing and defending control points to earn points for your team. While it features enjoyable combat mechanics and is easy to pick up, mastering teamwork and individual drone fighting styles requires time and skill. Overall, the fast-paced action and rewarding experience for skilled players are highlighted, though concerns about a lack of player base are noted.
“Gameplay is simple and reminds me of a mini version of Unreal Tournament 2004. You capture a node/control point, defend it or attack it, and you collect points for your team for controlling it until you reach the maximum points to win.”
“This game is as fun as it looks! It's amazing; I love the combat mechanics. It's a quick pick-up-and-play experience and very rewarding for those with good aiming skills. I even tried it out on an Xbox One controller, and it worked fine right out of the gate in the menu and the game, but my preferred way to play is mouse and keyboard.”
“The core gameplay is super easy to pick up, but working as a team and finding the right fighting style for your drone will take time to master.”
“The gameplay is overly simplistic and feels like a mini version of Unreal Tournament 2004, where you just capture and defend control points to earn points for your team until you reach the maximum and win.”
“The mechanics are clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to execute basic actions during gameplay.”
“There is a lack of depth in the gameplay, which quickly becomes repetitive and fails to keep players engaged.”
