    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the fun mechanics and unique concepts, while others criticize the clunky controls, unbalanced combat, and numerous bugs. Many users noted that the game lacks a solid tutorial and suffers from matchmaking issues, leading to a frustrating experience for some.

    • “Great game, really fun gameplay and mechanics.”
    • “Awesome gameplay, great PvP action and devs. Definitely.”
    • “However, gameplay 10/10 very fun.”

As it is now, I could never recommend it to anyone, much less say it should be in an open beta period when the game's controls lack fluidity during almost any fight.”
    • “The whole game is a mess; the mechanics are all half-baked, completely unbalanced, or they just don't work.”

  • stability8 mentions

    The game's stability is frequently criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs affecting gameplay, controls, and user interface. While some appreciate the concept and find it enjoyable despite the issues, many feel that the game is not ready for an open beta due to its lack of polish and fluidity in combat. Overall, the consensus is that the game is a "buggy mess" that detracts from the experience.

    • “It's EA; still rough around the edges and a bit buggy.”
    • “This game is a buggy mess that seems like they are trying to capitalize on a battle pass system in the height of popularity for battle royale games rather than actually focus on balancing and fixing the actual gameplay. As it is now, I could never recommend it to anyone, much less say it should be in an open beta period when the game's controls lack fluidity during almost any fight.”
    • “The combat is a little buggy and doesn't do well to show when you actually land hits. The death text needs to be smaller and placed elsewhere, as it currently takes up a decent chunk of your screen and sits right where the item description is, making it difficult to see if a weapon is better on the ground during a match with a lot of people dying.”

    • “The developers have done a great job of providing free content updates alongside optional paid features, making it feel like a community-focused game.”
    • “Update: just awful, don't play this game. The bugs and lack of smoothness are gross; it's just another cash grab. Don't support these guys until they start putting out decent games.”
    • “The fact that they introduced microtransactions before having an acceptable UI or even a general understanding of combat mechanics is extremely suspect.”
    • “It's a good game, but it needs to push more advertisements to people and maybe get a popular streamer to play it so it can get more people to play it.”
