The gameplay is described as dynamic and fun, with well-optimized mechanics; however, many users criticize the game for its premature mechanics, server issues, and lack of content, especially given its price point compared to free-to-play battle royale games. Overall, while there are positive elements, the game's shortcomings significantly detract from the experience.
“Dynamic gameplay.”
“Nice characters and fun gameplay, and it's pretty optimized too.”
“Terrible game, servers are terrible, and the mechanics seem very premature.”
“Having played this game for literally 10 minutes, I can tell you that it's really not worth the money. It's very bizarre that these developers have put a price tag on a battle royale game when the majority of battle royale games now are free to play. I'm not sure where they thought they could sustain a player base. Also, the game is literally 2GB, which tells you the full story on the mechanics and content you are going to be dealing with.”
