monetization

The monetization strategy has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, particularly through low-effort weapon skins, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the game's design flaws and lack of player engagement hinder its appeal, making it difficult to enjoy multiplayer features.
- “Even if you overlook the many design flaws (terrible UI, uninteresting map designs, and a blatant cash grab attempt in the form of no-effort weapon skins), the whole appeal of a game like this is to play with friends, or even anyone, which can't be done in a game that nobody plays.”
- “The monetization system feels exploitative, with essential items locked behind paywalls that make it nearly impossible to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
- “It's frustrating to see a game that could be great reduced to a series of microtransactions, making it feel more like a money-making scheme than a fun experience.”

While there is hope for improvements in performance and connection quality, the current state significantly hampers the overall experience.

grinding

Players feel that the grinding aspect of the game is diminished by the shared achievement system, where actions taken by one player can unlock achievements for all, making the process feel less rewarding and overly simplistic.
- “Another thing I noticed quickly was that if someone else in a game with me did an action to unlock an achievement, it would unlock for everyone, which makes the fun of grinding achievements obsolete or too easy.”
