Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed opinion: players like the tense extraction loop and solid gunplay, but many report a Chinese-language UI, cheaters, bugs and a sense of abandonment.

Many players like the tense extraction loop, where every raid risks the gear you carry, and say the gunplay and weapon customisation are solid. Some find it a good free alternative to Escape from Tarkov. Complaints are sharper: many players say the interface and settings are partly in Chinese or other languages even when English is selected, and some say they cannot play at all. Some report cheaters and aimbots in matchmaking, others report invisible enemies, lag, long loading and crashes. Several reviewers describe the game as neglected, with few updates and a dwindling player base, and criticise paid cosmetics, shop changes and a lock on maps by level. Recent reviews are few, so the overall picture is mixed.

Praised

  • Tense extraction loop

    Players enjoy the risk of losing carried loot and the careful planning each raid needs.

    Many players

    Reviewers call the shooting solid and praise the detailed weapon customisation.

    Some players

    Players compare it favourably to Escape from Tarkov and find it a good free option.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Chinese or mixed-language interface

    Players say menus, settings and text stay in Chinese or other languages despite selecting English.

    Many players
  • Cheaters and bad matchmaking

    Players report cheaters, aimbots and wallhacks, and matchmaking that pits new players against experienced ones.

    Many players
  • Bugs, lag and long loading

    Players describe crashes, invisible enemies, lag, long start-up times and poor performance on some systems.

    Many players
  • Neglect and few updates

    Reviewers say updates are rare or irrelevant to them and the player base has shrunk.

    Many players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy tense extraction shooters with gear risk and do not mind an unfinished, partly foreign-language game.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you dislike cheaters, bugs, or a menu you cannot read, or if you want a well-supported, regularly updated game.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours more often mention the level lock on maps, shop changes and paid cosmetics, while newer players mainly report the language and loading problems.
