The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with many players noting that there is no coherent narrative or engaging context to the missions. While some missions are described as fun, the gameplay quickly becomes repetitive, with players often facing impossible challenges due to poor AI and buggy mechanics. Overall, the game has potential but requires significant improvements in mission diversity and storytelling to enhance the player experience.
“This game is interesting; it has a few ups and downs, with the good ones being that the weapons are accurate and the missions are quite fun, but the game has multiple problems such as janky mechanics, repetitive gameplay, and not a lot of space to move around in.”
“You can create a story with each character you play fighting in the war. However, just like real life, you are stuck with whatever you are given for that mission by the military--a most unfortunate situation.”
“The game itself could use more development (more missions and maybe allow us to crouch or move around/make it kind of like a FPS RTS), but other than that, it's a great time killer for those who want to roleplay as a heroic Ukrainian defender.”
“The game is also filled with countless bugs; for example, there's no artillery bombing you in missions, and you cannot outrun the Ukrainian recruiter during the conscription mission, which is game-breaking because it forces you to lose.”
“The missions are usually just 'ambush the convoy', 'shoot the artillery commander', or 'ambush the convoy.' Not a lot of stuff to really do, and everything that happens just kind of repeats over and over with a new mission here and there.”
“Awful graphics, hitboxes are terrible, and there's no story or anything like that.”

“The gameplay in itself is bad, like really bad; it plays like a free knockoff Call of Duty you would find on the app store.”

The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing them as outdated, reminiscent of early 2000s titles or even worse, akin to PS1 graphics.

Overall, the consensus is that the graphics are subpar and detract from the gaming experience, though some hope for future improvements.
“Though the graphics and gameplay might be dated, this game is a winner.”
“It's a simple enough shooter, but the graphics are good and the weapons are cool with plenty of variation.”
“Even though the graphics remind me of Call of Duty 2, this game overall is pretty good.”
“The graphics feel like a PS1 game.”
“Even for a Unity game, this is pure trash; this has the realism of a Bollywood movie and graphics worse than a game from 2001.”
“Awful graphics, hitboxes are terrible and no story or anything like that.”

The game is frequently described as "buggy," with issues such as AI getting stuck, enemies not spawning, and various glitches affecting gameplay. While some players appreciate the developers' passion and note improvements over time, the overall consensus is that the game's stability is a significant concern, impacting the overall experience.
“The game can be buggy as well; for example, you could be shooting and the AI can be stuck behind buildings or cars, making it very hard to complete the mission.”
“It's also a buggy mess: enemies don't spawn sometimes, randomly cannot zoom in with weapons, etc. With such graphics, it'd make a good mobile game from 2017.”
“Great game, but unfortunately I cannot recommend it as it's very buggy and the developers have been lying to us and feeding us with false promises.”

“1) Optimization is key; having an options menu would be incredibly helpful.”

“Message to the devs: update your badly optimized game.”
