Only rating 5 star so people can see

I played this game for a good while and at first it seems fun concept is great but executed horribly game is buggy there is exploits that have been seen and heard by the devs and still nothing has been done , game is really dead I’ve heard from a lot of players if the game was just fixed and didn’t just put in useless game modes with a paywall people would probably play more.

It’s a good game but

Okay so the game is amazing I LOVED playing it and I’ve met some cool ppl on it. But on the actual game part of the game (not like the practice area ig) but the Demolition, it never loads! It used to load easy but now it doesn’t, idk if there’s not enough people or something with the game. But please I beg do something about it bc I love this game so so much but it just won’t load to play the Demolition game.

Pretty good game

It’s basically the closest thing to valorant on vr, albeit being free comes at the cost of encountering little kids, however as long as you can just focus on the game and play and not the kids, you can win, the heros are a blend of originally and common hero shooter characters ideas, and many things together, it’s fun and its hard to learn at first, but once you get your aim together, it’s easy to master, especially if you main a certain character.

Incredible Game

I have very few words to describe my pleasure in experiencing this game. I had hardly played a few minutes and I could already tell that it would be endless fun to share with friends. The ability to have crossplay between vr and flatscreen just makes everything twice as enjoyable as well. Would recommend for sure, especially if you’re playing it in vr.
