Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed opinion: players who like open-world PvP and large guild battles praise it, but most complain about pay-to-win, shrinking population and changes away from mass PvP.

Players who enjoy it describe large open-world battles, small-scale fights and a fast, MOBA-like combat feel that they find fresh, and some say the game is stable and well optimised. Many players, though, say the game was fun at launch and has since been changed away from what attracted them. The most common complaints are pay-to-win, with paying players gaining stronger gear and heroes, and an unbalanced faction system where one faction dominates and the others drift away. Many players also point to the shift from open-world PvP toward extraction-style modes with limited access windows, and to lost loot and repair costs that make progress feel punishing. Some report bots, multiboxing and unresolved bugs, and a steep population decline. Recent reviews are too few to judge direction, so opinion here reflects the older helpful reviews.

Who it suits

Players who like large-scale PvP and guild warfare, and who accept pay-to-win and a shifting game design.

Who should skip it

Players who want a stable open-world MMO with fair competition, a sandbox economy or reliable developer support should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours mostly criticise the late game, faction imbalance and the shift to extraction modes, while newer players are more likely to praise the combat and open-world battles.
