    • “The graphics, sound, music, and general presentation are just super polished.”

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, while there are glimpses of potential, the gameplay currently feels underwhelming and lacks innovation.

    • “Gameplay is pretty good.”
    • “Also, while the gameplay is pretty good, the game mode now at launch is just a classic deathmatch with no twist on it.”
    • “The gameplay and mechanics are so-so; there are no special abilities like flying, no climbing, no vehicles, and no buildables.”
    • “I won't touch on most of the actual gameplay because I only had the two starting heroes and couldn't play much because of the bug I'll explain next.”
    • “I'd love to have seen some more teamwork and objective-based gameplay, because 1 on 1 deathmatch gets stale pretty quick.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is noted for its polished quality, contributing positively to the overall presentation. However, it can become monotonous during waiting periods, particularly in VR, where players find themselves stuck in menus with looping tracks and no engaging activities.

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Somewhat decent concept, very buggy.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be significant, especially at lower levels where experience points required for leveling up can feel excessive, particularly in the absence of multiplayer competition.

    • “It takes a few hundred experience points per level at low levels, increasing as you progress, so it can feel quite grindy if you don't have people to play against.”
    • “The grinding required to level up becomes tedious after a while, especially when the experience points needed increase significantly.”
    • “Without a solid group to play with, the grind can feel endless and monotonous, making it hard to stay engaged.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
