The user solreavir wrote in his positive review:
Now that the game is no longer paid but free, I hope the number of players increases. There are still some bugs, such as the cursor keys that sometimes work and sometimes don’t when trying to select a game or navigate through the options. Gameplay-wise, it’s typical TPS [Third-Person Shooter] fair. The presentation is good. Weapons and tactics and the selection of robots are good. But the close combat is a little boring, maybe it could be made more interesting with a ‘Two-Hit-Strike’ or a ‘Lunging Dash’ on the targeted opponent. It definitely needs a few more promotional videos on social media to rekindle interest in the game after people were put off by the previous price and lack of content.

Negative comments primarily criticize the PvP and the graphics in the game:
- Mohohott: “The graphics are at a level where you could think it’s for a mobile game. On a computer that can handle detailed representations, I had about 10 frames on the lowest setting.”
- Parin: “No people […] no quick matches.”
- treeofeter: “When I looked at the leaderboard, it seemed strange that the first place had 5 wins in the game. But it took over 20 minutes to match for the first game […]”
However, it should be noted that many of the reviews refer to the Early Access version and there are only 39 reviews in total. Some of the criticisms may have been improved with the larger update at the game launch.
