Games like STRAFTAT

Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly love this free arena shooter for its fast movement, odd weapons and chaotic fun with friends, though some find the netcode, physics and stickiness frustrating.

Many players describe STRAFTAT as a fast, silly arena shooter that rewards strong movement, with wall riding, bunny hopping and crouch jumps that feel like older Quake and Unreal Tournament games. Players praise the wide range of maps and the unusual weapons, from katanas and claymores to rocket launchers and tasers, along with the retro menus and electronic soundtrack. Many say it is at its best with friends, and some describe it as a go-to game for a quick round. Some players complain about the movement feeling slippery, weapons feeling sticky, connection problems, and a small player pool in lobbies. A few mention a large file size, a lack of mic-check tolerance in some hosted lobbies and rough toxicity in some matches. Recent reviews are more mixed than the overall Steam total, with more complaints about connection and movement, but praise for the game's social side remains strong.

Who it suits

Players who want quick, chaotic arena matches with friends and enjoy skill-based movement and old-school shooters.

Who should skip it

Players who want polished netcode, stable connections or a game that avoids slippery movement and sticky weapons should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours tend to focus on the skill ceiling and competitive tech, while newer players mainly praise the goofy party fun.
