Overall, the gameplay is praised for its solid mechanics, fast-paced action, and engaging modes, making it accessible for beginners while still offering depth for experienced players. However, some users noted issues with lag, bugs, and a lack of significant updates, which can detract from the experience.

- “Very well made gun mechanics, with skins and components that work very well.”
- “Fast gameplay, easy to jump in and have some fun.”
- “Awesome weapons, captivating gameplay, unique parkour style, amazing maps, and totally original game modes!”
- “However, the development is going at the pace of a sick turtle - no gameplay improvements.”

- “Devs, if you're reading this please add more weapons cause the gameplay gets kind of stale after you learn which weapons are your favourite.”

The graphics of the game are characterized by a simplistic, blocky, and pixelated art style reminiscent of Minecraft, which some players find charming and fun. While the visuals are not cutting-edge and may appear basic, they effectively support the fast-paced gameplay and allow for smooth performance even on lower-end hardware. Overall, the graphics are seen as a secondary aspect to the engaging gameplay, proving that a game can be enjoyable without high-end visuals.
- “The fast-paced combat is incredibly engaging, and the low-poly modeling style as well as the graphics are already great on their own - although the community has created mods that will make the game look even better if your computer can handle it.”
- “War Brokers is a fast-paced FPS that takes inspiration from games like Call of Duty or Battlefield; unlike these aforementioned games, War Brokers doesn't aim for cutting-edge graphics, but sticks to the ever-popular pixelated art style, popularized by the monolithic Minecraft.”
- “That being said, the graphics are not boring; they are rather fun looking.”
- “The graphics are basic, and allow you to focus on only the battle at hand.”
- “Worse-than Minecraft graphics, but still a solid game to quickly spin up at the office during lunch and play a few rounds of :)”
- “Graphics are blocky and cartoony... but a simple and fun FPS.”

- “- Unstable with stuttering, lagging, frame drops, and slow rendering time on objects.”
- “(This game does have a web version which you can play at https://warbrokers.io, but it lacks things I would consider essential, such as 3D sound, resolution customization, and the performance is much worse, which is not the case on the Steam version.)”

The story aspect of the game is described as minimal and typical for multiplayer titles, primarily revolving around completing missions and leveling up to reach level 100. Once players finish the available content, the experience can become repetitive, with engagement largely dependent on new updates or community involvement.
- “So here's my story:”
- “The content is minimal, but efficient, and anything you can spend money on is cosmetic only, and even then, you can just earn the purchasable crates through missions anyway.”
- “But hey, that's the story of most multiplayer games these days.”
- “Its okay, once you finish all the missions and get past level 100, it becomes boring. Unless you help the devs develop the game, you would most likely play only when there is a new update.”
- “The content is minimal, but efficient, and anything you can spend money on is cosmetic only. Even then, you can just earn the purchasable crates through missions anyway.”

War Brokers features a monetization system that includes basic unlockable loot boxes and in-game currency that can be earned through gameplay, with the option to purchase additional coins. Players appreciate that the game does not aggressively push microtransactions, making it accessible for those who prefer not to spend money. However, the free website version is heavily ad-supported, which may detract from the experience.
- “War Brokers does contain some very basic unlockable loot boxes, similar to the likes of Overwatch, and currency earned through play. However, if you are inclined, you can also spend some cash for extra coins. Thankfully, this isn't constantly shoved down your throat! That said, there really is no need to spend money when it's so easy to earn currency through gameplay. It's a refreshing change in a landscape where microtransactions are often overwhelming.”
- “The monetization in this game strikes a great balance. You can earn everything through gameplay without feeling pressured to spend money. The option to purchase extra coins is there, but it's not intrusive, making it enjoyable for players who prefer to play for free.”
- “I appreciate how the game handles monetization. There are loot boxes and the option to buy currency, but it never feels forced. Earning coins through gameplay is straightforward, which is a breath of fresh air compared to other games that push microtransactions aggressively.”
- “If you don't want to buy it or want to try before you buy, check out the website which is free, but there are a lot of ads on the site, so view at your own risk.”
