“I don't understand how this game can require an RTX 3060 with graphics that look like this.”
“Only two game modes, poor graphics, and subpar control settings; it's somewhat fun but gets boring after 15 minutes.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable and visually appealing, offering fun experiences for a few rounds, though it suffers from limitations such as a lack of weapon variety and some frustrating mechanics like the inability to exit lean mode easily. While the AI and map design are praised, issues with checkpoint placements and repetitive gameplay detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, players appreciate the game's early access status and its solid performance without major bugs.
“I recommend this game simply for the fact that I'm not expecting a fully complete game. It's in early access, it's free, and the gameplay isn't bad (maybe repetitive). I've encountered no bugs so far, and the game runs perfectly fine for me.”
“So now the game works; it works really well! The gameplay is funny, the AI is good, and the map is well done. Great job, developers!”
“The gameplay suffers from a lack of weapons and no secondary gun, making encounters feel limited and repetitive.”
“The gameplay often feels like waiting for the enemy to make a mistake before you can advance, which can be frustrating.”
“There is no way to exit lean mode without sprinting, and the game doesn't pause when you access the menu during gameplay, which can lead to chaotic situations.”
