Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed: nostalgic players enjoy the fast K-style combat, but many find the revival unstable, AI-generated and poorly managed.

Many players enjoy the fast, skill-heavy movement and combat that brings back the original GunZ feel, and several recommend it for nostalgia and its high skill ceiling. Most criticism concerns the release itself: unstable servers, high ping and NAT connection problems, hackers, and crashes or login failures on some systems. Many players also object to the AI-generated art, icons and videos, which they see as a sign of carelessness. Others point to removed content, a worse lobby and interface than the original, and a lack of communication from the developers. Reviews from the last year and recent reviews are more negative than Steam's overall totals, with several saying fixes have been slow or created new problems. Some players still find the game worth playing for nostalgia.

Praised

  • Fast, skilful movement

    Players enjoy the dashing, wall-running and K-style combat, which they say has a high skill ceiling and rewards practice.

    Many players
  • Nostalgia for the original

    Many returning players are glad the classic game is back and say it recalls their years with the original version.

    Many players
  • Legit server, playable

    Players value an official, free and playable version compared with unstable private servers and say the game now works for them.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Unstable servers and ping

    Players report high ping spikes, NAT connection errors, disconnections and crashes, which interrupt matches and make the game hard to play.

    Many players
  • AI-generated art and icons

    Players dislike the AI-generated art, icons, banners and intro video, which they find cheap and at odds with the original style.

    Many players
  • Hackers and weak anti-cheat

    Reviewers report hackers disrupting rooms and matches, and say the anti-cheat is ineffective or does not work on Linux.

    Many players
  • Missing content and worse UI

    Players say original items, modes and features are missing, and that the lobby, interface and chat are worse than the original.

    Many players
Who it suits
Suited to nostalgic former players and fast-paced skill-focused shooter fans who can tolerate rough technical issues and enjoy practising movement.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a polished, stable launch, dislike AI-generated art, or are playing on Linux, since reviewers report server problems, hackers and a broken anti-cheat.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours mostly do not recommend the game, citing the launch problems and the lobby, while players with 20 to 200 hours are split and often stay for the combat despite the bugs.
