  • gameplay
    104 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its smooth mechanics, graphics, and immersive experience, while others criticize it for being sluggish, lacking customization options, and having unresponsive bots. Players express a desire for improvements in optimization, competitive elements, and the overall pacing of gameplay, often comparing it unfavorably to its predecessor, SFG2. Despite these criticisms, some users find the game enjoyable and a significant upgrade in terms of visuals and mechanics.

    • “The intense gameplay, stunning graphics, and immersive mechanics of each version, from the first to Special Forces Group 3, captivated me.”
    • “Great graphics, good physics, good gameplay mechanics.”
    • “Very good gameplay and the best offline shooter in history.”
    • “The dev team spent more time working on the ads than the game itself; hopefully, this game will get more optimized soon because I'm a big fan of SFG2. Notes for the devs: the game is very sluggish and slow in gameplay. Maybe making the characters move a bit faster and/or improving the reloading speed would be nice. Also, please improve the sound of guns because it doesn't match the graphics.”
    • “It doesn’t create any excitement, and the gameplay is completely disappointing.”
    • “The graphics are awesome, but the gameplay is bad. SFG2 was very good; this game's graphics combined with SFG2's gameplay would be awesome.”
  • monetization
    72 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, who describe it as overly aggressive and intrusive, with frequent unskippable ads disrupting gameplay. Many players feel that the constant advertisements detract from the overall experience, making the game feel like a cash grab rather than a well-developed title. Suggestions for improvement include reducing the frequency of ads and offering a paid option to remove them entirely.

    • “Completely soulless cash grab, don't even bother with the game, saying as someone who's stuck with the series since the early days of SFG2.”
    • “The constant advertisement every 2 deaths makes me hate my time instead of enjoying it.”
    • “This game had the potential but it's all wasted, it isn't well developed, can't play offline, and mostly it's an absolute cash grab.”
  • optimization
    51 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over performance issues, particularly on low-end devices. While some users noted that the game runs smoothly with good graphics, others reported significant lag, frame drops, and crashes, indicating a need for further optimization. Players are hopeful for future updates to address these performance concerns and enhance the overall gameplay experience.

    • “The game is surprisingly well optimized for a new mobile game.”
    • “Great successor to sfg2, finally stepped-up with enhanced graphics and gameplay, physics still needs improvement though, and lastly, performance optimization is yet to be improved!”
    • “Fun game and is a great successor to the previous games of the series, it just lacks some optimizations but the gameplay is great.”
    • “The dev team spent more time working on the ads than the game itself. Hopefully, this game will get more optimized soon because I'm a big fan of SFG2. The game is very sluggish and slow in gameplay; maybe making the characters move a bit faster and/or improving the reloading speed would be nice. Also, please improve the sound of guns because it doesn't match the graphics. Other than that, it's a 3/5. I'm not even going to mention the lack of online servers.”
    • “The quality and details of the game are excellent, but the FPS is confusing. There was one time my frame rate went up to a stable 60 FPS, and when I quit the game and then played again, I only got 38-44 FPS. I hope that the game will be optimized and can be played at 60 FPS.”
    • “The game is unoptimized even with a 12GB RAM phone; it keeps buffering and freezing every 10 seconds. Don't waste your time on this game and go play SFG2.”
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a strong desire for a more engaging story mode or campaign in the game, highlighting the current lack of quests and narrative depth as a significant drawback. While they appreciate the thrilling missions and strategic gameplay, many feel that the addition of a structured storyline, along with character customization and varied game modes, would greatly enhance the overall experience. Overall, the community is eager for updates that would introduce these elements to elevate the game's narrative appeal.

    • “The thrill of missions, strategic planning, and coordinated attacks kept me engaged.”
    • “I am giving it four stars because of the graphics, but if you could add a story mode or campaign mode to the game, it will be fire.”
    • “This is boring for the game modes because there are no quests in this game; add quests in this game.”
    • “I am giving it four stars because of the graphics, but if you could add a story mode or campaign mode to the game, it would be great. Also, add more movement within the game. Thank you.”
    • “This is boring for the game modes because there are no quests in this game. Please add quests to the game.”
    • “This is boring for the game modes because there are no quests in this game. Please add quests to the game.”
  • humor
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as both intentional and unintentional, with players finding amusement in the absurdity of glitches, offensive chat interactions, and the overall chaotic gameplay. Many users appreciate the comedic elements, such as funny ragdoll physics and the ability to engage in humorous banter, contributing to a lighthearted gaming experience. Overall, the game's humor is a significant draw, making it enjoyable despite its flaws.

    • “It's really bad and really funny, especially the chat.”
    • “I am your 100k visitor in this game. This game is fun; sometimes those ragdolls are funny. Great job on working hard on your own game!”
  • stability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is mixed, with some users reporting occasional frame drops and lag in multiplayer, while singleplayer freezing issues have been resolved. However, there are still notable glitches, particularly with ladders and framerate, leading to a frustrating experience for some players. Overall, while there are improvements, optimization remains a significant concern.

    • “The game no longer freezes in singleplayer, only occasional frame drops; multiplayer is very laggy.”
    • “I like this game; it has CS:GO graphics and a bunch of new maps, but I encountered a bad bug that causes the game to freeze and delay when I tap the battle button, making it unplayable.”
    • “The game has weird glitches that hurt the eyes while playing due to terrible framerate and poor optimization. It's not my device's fault; I was excited to play this game, but now I feel like I wasted 1.4 GB of data on it.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics in the game, particularly criticizing the paywall for offline and competitive modes, which they feel detracts from the experience. Many find the leveling requirements for purchasing items cumbersome and believe the game has shifted from a skill-based shooter to a grind-heavy, pay-to-win model. While some see potential for improvement, they hope the developers will address these concerns to enhance gameplay.

    • “I honestly think locking the offline mode (or competitive mode) behind a grindy paywall is a bad decision, as offline mode was the reason that I started playing this game.”
    • “It'd be good if there wasn't a level requirement to buy items, as grinding for experience is difficult.”
    • “It used to be a pure CS-style skill shooter; now it’s a grindy pay-to-win copy of COD and Valorant.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate mixed feelings about character development, with some players expressing disappointment over perceived downgrades in design and functionality. While there are positive mentions of character customization options, there are also calls for improvements in movement speed and overall character progression.

    • “Many options for character design in this game. Thank you!”
    • “Great game, but the developers should focus on improving the speed of character movement and development.”
    • “I just really thought they were going to upgrade the graphics, add more guns, and introduce more character designs, but what is this? I suggest this is a massive downgrade.”
    • “Great game, but the developers should focus on improving the character development.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been widely criticized as terrible, contributing to an overall negative impression alongside a cluttered user interface. Some users suggest that the soundtrack needs significant improvement, comparing it unfavorably to other games.

    • “Terrible music and a cluttered UI, along with looking like a scummy freemium game.”
    • “I think this game needs to change the music; SFG2 has better songs, I guess.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is visually appealing with nice graphics, but the sound effects, particularly for guns, lack the desired impact, making them feel less immersive. This imbalance between visual quality and audio experience detracts from the overall atmosphere, leading to disappointment among players.

    • “I would have given this a 4-star or even a 5-star rating if it wasn't for offline mode being removed. The game was already great enough, the graphics are nice, but the sound effects for the guns are not impactful. If it's guns, I want them to feel heavy and loud, not like nerf guns. It feels like all the budget went into graphics while ignoring the atmosphere.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is not directly addressed in the user's feedback, which focuses more on gameplay mechanics, specifically the desire for a quick weapon switch feature. This suggests that while the user may have emotional engagement with the game, their primary concern lies with improving the gameplay experience.
