The gameplay is praised for its fun, arcade-style shooting mechanics using water guns, featuring unique character abilities and explosive weapon interactions that allow for dynamic plays. While the game offers a fast-paced combat experience reminiscent of classic titles like Quake and Unreal Tournament, some players express frustration with the current setup, which may hinder their enjoyment. Overall, it is seen as a great option for small groups of friends despite concerns about its player base.
“Great concept, super fun arcade shooting mechanics but with water guns.”
“Although I have only 28 hours in the game, I have picked up the game mechanics fast and they are pretty good. The fact that you can jump with the explosive-based weapons is nice, allowing players to make really awesome plays for clips. The game might be dead, but it would be good for a small group of friends to play together.”
“The game has a great idea of gameplay, with characters that have their own abilities, interesting weapon mechanics, and fast-paced combat. Sometimes it gives you a feeling of Quake and Unreal Tournament vibes.”
