“I purchased the game from the sale and will hold onto it for the hopes that the player count rises because the gameplay potential looks so fun.”
“The gameplay is fun – challenging in the right places, and keeps you engaged.”
“Great game that combines shooting with construction and crafting mechanics, creating a unique mix, good character progression with an interesting skill tree and well-defined player roles; you can only focus on shooting and conquering enemy bases or you can focus on constructing and reinforcing your base to defend it against enemy threats.”
“It can be a bit clunky at times to do the build and destroy mechanics.”
“It would have been nice if they slowed it down and made some lore or taught real history using this game, but it's basically Call of Duty with 'survival' mechanics.”
“I would love to see evolved and improved late game mechanics in the future.”

The game's monetization strategy appears to be hampered by a lack of advertising, which may be contributing to a low player base despite the investment in quality game development. The absence of a free-to-play model could further deter potential players, highlighting the need for better marketing efforts to attract a larger audience.
“Sadly, without much advertisement and the game not being free, this could be the reason why there are not enough players.”
“Clearly, a ton of budget went into the game itself by how nice the tutorial is, but clearly no budget went into advertising because every time I have opened the game so far, there have been 0 players online in NA and less than a dozen in EU.”
“Needs some advertising to increase the player base; hoping it picks up.”
