    The gameplay of Toaster Arena is fast-paced and engaging, featuring a variety of movement mechanics reminiscent of titles like Titanfall 2, Quake, and Call of Duty. Players enjoy the fun and creative loadouts, although the game is still in development and suffers from glitches and a lack of effective tutorialization. Overall, the combat loop is refreshing and enjoyable, appealing to both seasoned players and newcomers alike.

    • “This game just has awesome mechanics that allow a wide range of skills to do really well in different ways.”
    • “Toaster Arena is an FPS game that uses quick movements and jumping mechanics to outwit your adversaries to win matches.”
    • “Secondly, the gameplay, gunplay, and movement mechanics are refreshing and on point, making an extremely fun combat loop!”
    • “It also doesn't really feel like the game's mechanics are tutorialized particularly well; it was confusing to go from the movement tech tutorials to the single-player campaign where I didn't seem to have access to any of that.”
    • “This will make them easier to pick up at speeds and during firefights, and removing the health-kit throwing item in replacement for a healing dart gun would be a more skillful alternative way to heal teammates in team-based game modes, as well as preventing campy gameplay by throwing down a health kit and sitting in one spot almost forever only leaving for ammo.”
    • “Another way to make the movement controllable would be to incorporate an air-strafe mechanic similar to games based on the Source engine, much like TF2 and CoD.”
  • humor
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its humor, featuring a mix of serious and comedic voices, and includes amusing elements like a cheese weapon and a melee chair. Players enjoy the funny moments and the social aspect of the game, particularly when playing with friends or random players. However, there is a consensus that while the humor is appreciated, the game still requires further development to fully realize its potential.

    • “The game has plenty of funny moments and an admin panel so fun with random people and with friends that you know.”
    • “I can really appreciate the humor this game has such as the cheese weapon or the melee chair, but there's a lot of work to be done here before the game can show what it has to offer.”
    • “Hehe funny toaster furry shooter go uwu~”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is minimal, with only a small amount of lore available, primarily derived from the first main mission. While there is a single-player mission and plans for more content, the focus remains heavily on PvP gameplay, leading to some criticism regarding the lack of bots and narrative depth. Overall, players appreciate the existing lore but desire a more developed story experience.

    • “And I like the small amount of lore we have access to in the game, stemming from conclusions from the first main mission to the firing range.”
    • “---{ story }---”
    • “☑ no story”
    • “There is a singleplayer mission with more on the way, a level editor with workshop planned to be added to it later, and of course the bulk of the content being directed at PvP.”
    • “Biggest complaint I have thus far is the lack of bots as an option, which granted I'm certain the singleplayer missions and likely level editor were intended to fill the void of... especially with things like the advanced movement and whatnot likely making it harder to implement proper bots.”
