  • The game shows a lot of promise and has interesting ideas, such as recruiting soldiers with different weapons.
  • It can be moderately fun for short play sessions, especially for a free game.
  • The tactical element of using cover adds a layer of strategy to the gameplay.
  • The game feels unfinished, with limited content, including only one map and minimal weapon and enemy variety.

  • Players experience bugs, such as being unable to recruit more than four survivors despite having available slots.

    The gameplay is criticized for its lack of depth, as the initial experience remains consistent throughout the game, featuring balance issues, awkward hitboxes, and slow pacing despite speed upgrades. Additionally, the spawning of XP pick-ups becomes problematic when too many are present, diminishing exploration effectiveness.

    • “The gameplay is engaging and offers a variety of challenges that keep you on your toes.”
    • “The mechanics are intuitive, making it easy for new players to jump in while still providing depth for veterans.”
    • “The pacing of the gameplay strikes a perfect balance, allowing for both exploration and action.”
    • “What you see in the first 5 minutes of gameplay is essentially the whole game for now.”
    • “Even that has some balance issues, weird hitboxes, and slow gameplay (even with speed upgrades). Not to mention how XP pick-ups seemingly stop spawning when there are too many on screen, rendering wandering around the map rather ineffective.”
