The game's stability is criticized for numerous glitches and a sluggish melee attack, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences. Additionally, the excessively long match durations detract from the overall enjoyment, highlighting the need for significant improvements before it can reach its potential.
“Couple that with copious glitches, a melee attack that feels way too slow and janky, and absurdly long games (for comparison: rounds has at most 11 matches that take about 2 or so minutes to complete. Upgun has over 25 matches that take 3 minutes each. Do the math), and you end up with a thumbs down review, which sucks because the potential for a 3D FPS rounds is amazing, but unfortunately it is a long way to go.”
“The game is plagued by constant crashes and connectivity issues, making it nearly unplayable at times. It's frustrating to invest time into matches only to have them abruptly end due to instability.”
“I encountered numerous bugs that disrupted gameplay, including freezing screens and character glitches. It really detracts from the overall experience and makes it hard to enjoy the game.”
