Steam reviews
What players say
Recent reviewers mostly like the smooth shooting and friend play, but nearly all say the lobbies are nearly empty and the servers lag.
Many players who recommend the game praise the smooth controls, clean animations and sound, and the variety of weapons, including heavy weapons such as rocket launchers and miniguns. Several say it is good fun with a few friends and that its free-to-play price makes it easy to try. Most of the criticism concerns the player base: many players report empty lobbies, long waits to find a match and lobbies that are hard to join. Some point to laggy or unstable servers, bugs and glitches, and a few mention cheaters and skilled players who overwhelm newcomers. Recent reviews are more mixed than Steam's totals suggest, and many praise the potential while urging the developers, a small team, to add bots, maps and quality-of-life updates.

- Who should skip it

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to recommend it while noting the same empty lobbies and lag, and some say the bots and bugs still need work.
