The game's optimization receives mixed feedback from users. While many praise its ability to run smoothly on low-end devices and appreciate the graphics and performance, several players report issues with lag, high ping, and server stability, particularly in certain regions. Overall, there is a consensus that while the game is well-optimized for many devices, further improvements are needed, especially regarding server performance and control customization.

- “I played this game a while ago. I thought it was pretty good, but now it just isn't up to standards in performance. There are a lot of lag spikes that happen, and I know it's not an internet issue. Also, there are a lot of hackers in the game that makes it not enjoyable.”
- “The game itself is pretty good, also the graphics are decent, but the only major problem that cannot be overlooked is the poor optimization of the servers.”
- “Literally a game that is not optimized for any devices. The game runs so slow on Android 7, 8, 9, and 10 with the lowest graphics. The game can only go up to 45 fps before dropping to 30 or even 20. The new updates are hogging the frames, and I think the developers should revamp the game completely as the maps have a lot of blocks which pressures the GPU and CPU of the phone, tablet, computer, etc.”

The game's story aspect is largely perceived as lacking, with many players expressing frustration over the mission system, which they find overly difficult and tedious.

- “At first, it was 5 stars, but now I realize we are all grinding for skins and cases and selling them on the marketplace just so the company gets a 20% commission.”

This was very heartbreaking, and I request to have a look into this matter.”
