On Steam, you can now get the new free-to-play online shooter Ironsight. We introduce the game and explain how it is currently being received.
What is Ironsight? Ironsight is a free online shooter set in a science fiction scenario published by Gamigo. After a natural disaster, the factions North Atlantic Federation (NAF) and Energy Development Enterprise Network (EDEN) fight over the last resource on Earth, trinitium. You join one of the sides and dive into the battles.
- More than 14 combat zones with different terrains await you.
- You play in multiple PvP and PvE modes.
- The areas feature destructible paths and challenging climate conditions.
- You use over 100 customizable weapons, including sniper rifles, assault rifles, SMGs, and more.
- Unlock skins to customize your characters and weapons.
- Drones play an important role in battles, offering you many tactical options.
Technically, there’s still a lot to do
How is it being received? The ratings on Steam currently sit at 65% and are Mixed. It is still in an early access phase that needs some polishing in technical aspects. Players mainly criticize the netcode, which causes less than optimal network performance, as well as the in-game purchases.
You need to repair your weapons. For that, you need money. You can either buy the in-game currency or grind it out over time. This grind is currently under some criticism. The game had issues during the closed beta, but the developers are working on the problems.
Potential is present
What do the players think? The community is somewhat divided about the online shooter.
- STYLZ Z writes on Steam: “This game is really quite good. It is especially worth it because it’s free. There are no cheaters, which is a big plus.”
- MoistandDelicious says: “It pains me to say this, but the game currently has some issues. Until these are resolved, I can’t recommend it in good conscience.”
- Piel says: “It has so much potential but it’s unplayable due to the bad netcode.”
- .SCAR. writes: “It’s basically a free CoD clone that is actually pretty good. It still has its problems, but I continue to play.”
What do the player counts look like? The average number of concurrent players in the last 30 days is around Steamcharts 168. The peak was 412. However, it’s worth noting that Ironsight has also been playable via its own launcher for several months now.
