- “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 balances 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 whole game is a mess; the mechanics are all half-baked, completely unbalanced, or they just don't work.”

Many feel that the game is still in a rough state, lacking fluidity during combat and overall polish, which detracts from the experience. While some appreciate the concept, the persistent issues make it difficult to recommend in its current form.
- “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 hard to see if a weapon is better during a match with a lot of people dying.”
