  • Seamless combat with riveting gameplay that keeps players engaged.
  • Large number of weapons, grenades, and transport options offer variety.
  • Beautiful graphics and numerous opponents to maintain interest.
  • Frequent graphical and gameplay bugs including obstructive trees, blurry screens, and inverted controls.
  • Poor optimization causing inconsistent performance even on high-end PCs.
  • The game is essentially an asset flip with unpolished, unbalanced gameplay and misleading marketing.
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization is heavily criticized for being a repetitive asset flip sold at an inflated $18 price, viewed as a blatant cash grab that undermines genuine indie developers by cluttering Steam’s marketplace.

    • “It's basically the same asset flip as Explosiver, Combatant, Obsessive Revenge, and Rescuer... the developer keeps posting the same asset flip with a different name onto Steam as a nasty cash grab.”
    • “There's a ridiculous, eye-watering $18 cash grab scam price for this trash.”
    • “They're nothing but cash grabs, and they harm genuine indie developers by reducing their visibility on Steam.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally praised for their beauty, but occasional visual glitches, such as obstructive falling trees, can hinder visibility during gameplay.

    • “Seasoned with beautiful graphics.”
  • gameplay
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is considered unoriginal and poorly executed, heavily relying on flipped stock assets and lacking the balanced mechanics and engaging story found in the original game it imitates. While some find it somewhat captivating, it is generally viewed as a low-quality ripoff rather than a serious gaming experience.

    • “Truly riveting gameplay.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is considered basic and unoriginal, closely imitating games like Far Cry and Crysis but lacking depth, balance, and unique elements. Overall, it is viewed as a poorly executed ripoff with little narrative appeal.

    • “This is a basic story/level driven FPS game loosely ripping off Far Cry/Crysis.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor is light and mildly amusing, providing occasional laughs without being particularly memorable.

  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor optimization, with performance fluctuating between 10 to 60 FPS even on medium settings using high-end hardware like an i7 CPU and GTX 1070 GPU.

    • “This game has no optimization; it runs at 10-60 fps with an i7 and GTX 1070 on medium settings.”
