Reviews
- Fast paced and simple gameplay that is easy to learn and fun to play, especially with friends.
- Bots provide a decent challenge and allow gameplay even with a low player base.
- Low system requirements and good optimization for a free-to-play indie game.
- Good map design with variety and balanced mechanics focused on tactical precision.
- Free-to-play with optional affordable premium pack that supports developers.
- Unique bolt-action only shooter with satisfying gunplay and a low skill ceiling for accessibility.
- Major features such as single player mode, private lobbies, cosmetics, and stats tracking are locked behind a paywall preventing full free-to-play experience.
- Small and mostly dead player base resulting in matches being dominated by bots and empty servers.
- Bots have overpowered aimbot capabilities leading to unfair and frustrating gameplay experiences.
- Game requires linking an Epic Games account causing login issues, crashes, and poor server connectivity.
- Lag, crashes, poor hit registration, bad melee combat mechanics, and occasional glitches degrade gameplay quality.
- Lack of content including limited maps, modes, weapons, and progression leading to repetitive and boring gameplay.
- Paywalls block customization and progression causing poor player retention and criticism towards monetization methods.

23 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is generally praised for being fun, fast-paced, and incorporating unique mechanics like a non-reload system, making it suitable for casual and LAN party play. However, issues such as bots dominating matches, poor netcode, lack of player base, limited content updates, and some technical annoyances detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, its simplicity and tactical elements make it enjoyable, especially with friends.
“The non-reload mechanic is interesting because you pretty much stay in an active 1v1 without having to duck and reload, keeping it fast-paced and intense despite everyone having the same bolt-action rifle.”
“Core gameplay loop can be fun, and as a LAN party game I think this has potential.”
“It has all the basic mechanics you'd expect from a game like this, and it's also great fun with friends.”
“Dead game, no players, boring gameplay, no progression or skins, too many bots. Don’t play.”
“I played one match and was already bored with the gameplay loop.”
“Horrific netcode, bots are ridiculous (sometimes shoot through walls, sometimes take no damage), core mechanics are garbage, aiming feels terrible and your iron sights don't really matter.”
