Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reviews: players praise the graphics and quick WW2 shooting, but most complaints centre on pay-to-win weapons, cheaters and a shaky Battle Pass.

Many players say the game looks good for a free shooter, with fast, small-map battles, a simple levelling system and smooth performance on modest PCs. Some enjoy it as a light alternative to bigger WW2 shooters. The criticism is sharper. Many reviewers say paid weapons, ammunition and premium characters decide fights, so players who do not spend money struggle against high-level opponents. Some report cheaters, hit registration problems, glitches, freezes and weapons that feel unbalanced. A few mention a Battle Pass that does not return unclaimed rewards and charges that paid currency disappeared. Recent reviews are more negative than the older helpful ones, which are more often positive.

Praised

  • Graphics for a free game

    Reviewers find the visuals and weapon models good, and the game runs well even on modest hardware.

    Many players
  • Fast arcade WW2 combat

    Small maps and short battles give quick, fast-paced shooting that players compare to other arcade shooters.

    Many players
  • Easy to pick up

    Some players

Criticised

  • Pay-to-win weapons

    Paid weapons, ammunition and premium characters let spenders beat players who have not paid, even at high levels.

    Many players
  • Cheaters and hit registration

    Reviewers report cheaters, aimbots, unreliable hit detection and shots that do not kill as expected.

    Many players
  • Battle Pass and currency complaints

    Players say Battle Pass rewards are lost, purchased currency vanished or payment support did not resolve their issues.

    Some players
  • Glitches and instability

    Players report freezing menus, clients that will not close and a connection that often drops during matches.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who want a light, free WW2 arcade shooter and do not mind spending money to keep up.
Who should skip it
Players who dislike pay-to-win systems or want a fair, stable competitive shooter should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours are more critical of paid advantages and recent changes, while newcomers mostly praise the graphics and quick matches.
