Steam reviews

What players say

Nostalgic longtime players welcome the revival, but most recent reviews say it is dead, cash-grabbing and technically rough, and do not recommend it.

Many players who knew the original game feel a strong nostalgia for its fast arena combat, toy-like characters and variety of weapons, and some still enjoy the matches. Most recent reviews are far more negative than Steam's totals: many say the player base is nearly gone, with few lobbies and only one or two servers, so newcomers struggle to find games. Players from Asia, the Philippines and North America report high ping that makes weapon swapping and movement feel delayed. Many also criticise the monetisation, with timed cosmetics, capsules and pay-to-win items, along with weakened weapons, a missing upgrade system and little new content. Some reviewers report cheaters and injectors, and several describe performance problems such as stutters, freezes and crashes on some hardware.

Praised

  • Nostalgia for the original

    Many returning players enjoy the feeling of revisiting a game they played as children and remember fondly.

    Many players
  • Fast, fun arena combat

    Players who still like it praise the quick third-person matches, varied weapons and playful, adorable toy-like look.

    Some players
  • Good character customisation

    Reviewers like the cute anime character designs and the cosmetic options that let them personalise their figures.

    A few players

Criticised

  • Almost no players left

    Reviewers say lobbies are nearly empty, with one or two servers and few players, which makes finding matches hard.

    Many players
  • High ping and regional servers

    Players outside Europe and North America report high ping, and some say weapon swapping and movement feel delayed or unresponsive.

    Many players
  • Pay-to-win and timed cosmetics

    Players criticise capsules, pay-to-win items and timed cosmetics that start running out as soon as they are received.

    Many players
  • Cheaters and injectors

    Reviewers say cheating is widespread, with injectors and hackers in matches and weak anti-cheat.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who loved the original and want a nostalgic, casual revisit with a small, veteran community.
Who should skip it
New players who want an active, well-populated game, and anyone sensitive to pay-to-win items, high ping or performance problems.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with short playtimes mostly do not recommend it and cite empty lobbies, performance issues and a steep learning curve, while players with 20 to 200 hours are split and often mention the nostalgia and fun matches.
